All over Jessamine County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
One number reaches the technician who would hold the gun. The figure comes on the call, not after a visit.
(866) 951-0558The voice on the line belongs to the trade, not to a switchboard reading a script. Two minutes of plain description are enough to price a standard tub.
Maybe you look at your worn out tub every morning and sigh at the sight of those ugly stains. Fortunately, a smart alternative exists that saves you thousands of dollars compared to a messy tear-out. Our local crew specializes in reviving dull, chipped, and outdated fixtures right in your home.
Which means you get a sparkling, fresh surface in just a single day. On top of that, we always provide a free estimate so you can plan your budget without any surprises. This fast process completely avoids the nightmare of having plumbers tear up your walls.
Naturally, you want a beautiful bathroom where you can actually unwind after a long day of work. By choosing our specialized resurfacing process, you can achieve that bright, clean look without the premium price tag. Let us help you fall in love with your home again.
To put it simply, this budget-friendly service involves applying a durable, high-gloss coating over your existing cast iron, steel, or fiberglass tub. First, we meticulously clean the old surface with specialized acid cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and mineral deposits. After repairing any deep scratches or rusty spots, we spray on a high-tech bonding agent.
This critical step ensures the new acrylic polyurethane topcoat fuses permanently with the original material. Consequently, you receive a gorgeous finish that looks identical to brand-new porcelain. This clever method works wonders on outdated colors like avocado green or dusty pink from past decades.
| Project Factor | Our Specialized Resurfacing | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, usually under $600 | Expensive, often $3,000 to $8,000 with plumbing |
| Time to Complete | Around 4 to 6 hours | Several days or even weeks of construction |
| Mess and Demolition | Virtually none, just some paint prep | Extensive drywall damage, dust, and debris |
For this reason, smart homeowners choose to recoat rather than replace. You save your precious time, avoid dealing with permit offices, and keep heavy trash out of our local landfills. It is a win-win situation for both your wallet and the environment.
Living in this beautiful region south of Lexington means appreciating historic homes and cozy suburban neighborhoods alike. Whether you reside in a classic property near the scenic Kentucky River or a newer build in Nicholasville, bathroom fixtures eventually lose their original luster. Our mobile service trucks travel throughout the entire area to bring this specialized craftsmanship right to your doorstep.
Actually, we regularly serve neighbors across the local communities within the 40356 and 40390 ZIP codes. Since the median household income in this lovely part of the Bluegrass State sits around $63,000, saving money on home renovations is always a wise decision. Indeed, our affordable service lets you stretch your hard-earned dollars further while still achieving that high-end look.
While the local population of this specific county has grown to over fifty thousand residents, we still treat every single client like our only neighbor. You will receive friendly, down-to-earth service from real people who take immense pride in their manual labor. We arrive on time, protect your floors, and clean up every bit of our work gear before we leave.
To be completely honest with you, this system is fantastic but it does require proper care to last. On the bright side, the gloss is incredibly easy to wipe down because the new non-porous layer resists dirt and grime. This lets you skip those harsh, abrasive scrubbing powders that scratch up old porcelain.
However, you must avoid using heavy bleach or drop heavy metal tools onto the newly coated floor. If you treat the surface with a little bit of respect, your restored basin will look spectacular for up to fifteen years. We think that is an amazing return on a very modest investment.
Initially, we set up a heavy-duty ventilation system with industrial exhaust fans to pull any paint fumes safely out of your home. Following that, we mask off all your tiles, walls, and fixtures with protective paper so no overspray lands where it should not. Our technicians wear professional respirators and use precision spray guns for an incredibly smooth, factory-like finish.
This attention to detail ensures there are no ugly drips, runs, or rough orange-peel textures on your completed basin. After we apply several coats of our premium aliphatic acrylic polyurethane, we use cure accelerators to speed up the drying process. Which means you can safely use your renewed shower again in just twenty-four hours.
Perhaps you are wondering if your tile surround can get the same treatment at the identical time. Absolutely, because we can spray your old ceramic wall tiles too, sealing up dirty grout lines forever. This extra option creates a seamless, modern look that completely transforms the entire vibe of your bathroom.
Sometimes, homeowners try to save a buck by buying those cheap roll-on epoxy kits from the local hardware store. Unfortunately, those consumer-grade products lack the strong bonding agents and professional spray equipment required for a lasting hold. They usually start peeling and yellowing within a few months, leaving you with an even bigger mess to strip off.
By hiring our local crew, you avoid that frustration and get the job done right the first time. We use industrial-strength materials that are simply not available to the general public. This professional grade quality guarantees a beautiful result that stands up to daily hot showers and soapy water.
Now is the perfect moment to take action and finally get rid of that ugly, stained basin. Since we offer free, no-obligation quotes, you have absolutely nothing to lose by giving us a shout. We will look at your project, explain the steps, and give you a clear, honest price.
This simple step puts you on the fast track to a gorgeous, clean bathroom that you can show off to guests. Our friendly team is ready to answer all your questions and find a convenient time to visit your property.

Three quiet stages carry the whole result. They are also the ones nobody sees in the after photo.
Stage 1 of 3
A reglaze fails or lasts on what happens before the gun comes out. The old surface gets scrubbed of soap film and silicone, etched or primed so the new material has something to grip, then wet sanded until it feels like fine paper. Skip any of that and the prettiest coat in the world lets go within a year, which is exactly the story most peeling tubs tell us.
Stage 2 of 3
Chips, rust blooms and worn drain rings are ground back to sound material and rebuilt with polyester filler, then sanded flush until a fingertip cannot find the spot. Coating over damage only photographs well on day one; a repair you cannot feel is what keeps the finish honest for years.
Stage 3 of 3
The topcoat goes on in fine sprayed passes with an extractor pulling air out the window the whole time. Sprayed layers flow together into one even skin, which is why the result reads as gloss rather than as paint. Brushes and rollers leave the texture that gives cheap refinishing its reputation.
Three real ways out of a worn tub. We only do the first one, so the other two columns are simply what we would tell a friend.
| The question | Reglazing in place | Acrylic liner | Full replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| What a standard tub costs | $350 to $800 | $1,600 to $4,000 | $3,000 to $10,000 once walls and plumbing join in |
| Bathroom out of action | One day, then the cure | Weeks of lead time, then a fitting day | One to two weeks of trades |
| Demolition involved | None at all | None, but the old tub is sealed inside | Walls opened, floor patched, debris hauled |
| Honest life expectancy | Five years and up when cared for | Long, unless water creeps between the shells | Decades |
| Watch out for | Prep shortcuts by cut-rate crews | A spongy feel and hidden moisture | The budget doubling mid-project |
If your tub is cracked through, actively leaking underneath, or you simply want a different fixture, reglazing is the wrong tool, a verdict you will hear on the very first call.
Pass 1
Soap scum, silicone and old wax stripped, then the surface etched or bonded so the coating can bite.
Pass 2
Every ding ground out, filled and sanded flush. The repairs disappear under the coating instead of through it.
Pass 3
Tile, faucet, floor and glass papered off. Overspray lands on masking paper, never on grout or chrome.
Pass 4
Primer, then gloss coats laid on in thin passes until the surface reads as one poured skin.
Pass 5
The finish hardens on its own clock, 24 to 48 hours. We tape the door and leave the tub in peace.
Pass 6
Old caulk goes out with the old finish. A new mildew-resistant bead seals tub to tile on the way out.
A reglazed tub is your old tub wearing a professional coating. That is a fine thing to be, as long as everyone knows it going in.
A sprayed acrylic urethane skin, bonded to prepared porcelain, steel or fiberglass. It is smooth, glossy, warm to the touch and fully waterproof. Done properly it gives five years and more of daily service, and plenty of our tubs sail well past that with nothing but gentle cleaning.
It is not factory enamel fired onto iron at kiln temperatures, and no honest refinisher will tell you otherwise. It can be scratched by grit, dulled by harsh powders and lifted by standing water in a spot where caulk has failed. It is a durable coating, not a new tub, and it is priced like one.
Two minutes
ZIP, what the tub is made of, what bothers you about it. Said out loud it goes faster than typing, and a photo can follow later if the case is odd.
The same call
The technician who would do the work asks his questions and names a firm figure for a standard job, then confirms it in writing before any van is booked.
You set the date
One van, one technician, drop cloths from the front door to the bathroom. Water off for nothing; only the tub is out of service.
Most of that day
Damage filled and sanded, the room masked, extractor running, then the primer and gloss coats go on in thin, even passes.
24 to 48 hours
The finish hardens untouched, the new caulk bead goes in, and you run the first bath knowing exactly what was done and what to expect of it.
| What we quote | Typical range | Reading the number |
|---|---|---|
| Standard bathtub, reglazed complete | $350 - $800 | Clean, etch, repairs, sprayed gloss and fresh caulk. |
| Chip or rust repair alone | $150 - $300 | When the finish is sound and only one wound needs closing. |
| Clawfoot tub, inside and out | $700 - $1,300 | Two surfaces, more masking, and paint-grade feet if you wish. |
| Shower pan or base | $300 - $550 | Same process on the floor you stand on every morning. |
| Caulk renewal with the job | $90 - $180 | Old bead cut out, mildew-resistant line laid in. |
| Small job minimum | around $250 | The van, the materials and the cure time exist even for tiny work. |
Heavy previous coatings that must be stripped, unusual colors and badly pitted iron push a job toward the top of its bracket. The written price reaches you before the van is even loaded, and it holds.
Ventilation is not a courtesy, it is part of the job. The extractor runs from the first solvent wipe to the last sprayed pass, pulling air out the window instead of through your hallway, and the technician wears supplied air even when the household has gone out for the day. By the evening the bathroom smells like a bathroom again.
The materials are the professional two-part systems made for this trade, mixed fresh on site, never the single-can kits sold next to the paint rollers. It is the difference between a finish that cures into a hard skin and one that stays soft enough to peel at the drain within a season, and it is most of the reason our work carries a written workmanship promise against peeling and loss of adhesion.
And the schedule respects the cure. We tell you in writing when the tub goes back into service, 24 hours for most jobs and 48 for the cautious ones, because handing a family a beautiful surface and letting them ruin it that same night helps nobody. If anything in our workmanship lets go early, the technician comes back and makes it right without a discussion about whose fault the water was.
Strong while spraying, gone surprisingly fast. The extractor vents the room to the outside for the whole job, so the rest of the home stays livable, and by the next morning the odor has left with the fumes. Pregnant households and bird owners get the frank version of this talk before booking.
Between 24 and 48 hours after the final coat, and the exact time is written on the paperwork you keep. The first bath is not a gamble; it is a date.
Any color. The most common request is retiring an avocado, pink or almond tub to white, and the coating is tinted before it is sprayed, so the new color is in the material rather than painted over it.
Yes. The prep changes, the primer changes, the result reads the same. Fiberglass with soft, flexing spots gets extra reinforcement talk first, because coating a moving floor is how warranties die.
Now the old coating comes fully off, which is honest work we price plainly, and then the job proceeds as if the tub had never been touched. Peeling almost always means the first crew skipped the etch or sprayed over silicone, not that your tub rejects coatings.
Five years is the floor we are comfortable promising out loud, not the ceiling. With soft cleaners, no standing mats and caulk kept sound, these finishes routinely serve a decade. What we refuse to do is whisper twenty and hope you lose our number.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
