All over Kendall 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.
Today you can transform your old wash basin without spending a fortune. This local service saves your worn out bathroom fixtures fast.
Now is the time to look at why your bathing vessel loses its shine. Over time harsh cleaning scrubbers ruin the outer protective glaze.
Chemical cleaners wear down the shiny coating on your porcelain very quickly. This leaves a rough surface that traps ugly soap scum and stubborn dirt.
That rough texture makes scrubbing exhausting every single weekend. Nobody wants to spend hours on their knees scrubbing a stained basin.
Skilled local pros arrive at your home with professional spraying gear. They prep the area carefully before applying any new chemical bonding agents.
This meticulous preparation step lets you enjoy a rock solid bond that lasts for years. Your old basin looks brand new after just one afternoon of work.
Workers clean the entire surface using heavy duty industrial solvents. Such deep cleaning removes body oils and hard water mineral deposits completely.
Following that crucial wash they etch the porcelain to create micro grooves. This lets the primer stick permanently to your existing bathtub structure.
You get to pick from bright white or custom color tints. This custom touch lets you match your exact bathroom decor without remodeling anything.
Modern coatings resist chipping and scratching much better than older factory finishes. Which means your investment stays gorgeous through heavy daily family use.
Tearing out a heavy cast iron tub damages your surrounding tile walls. That extra demolition work creates massive messes and expensive plumbing repair bills.
Instead of ripping things apart local craftsmen spray a fresh topcoat in place. This smart method saves you thousands of dollars in labor costs.
Technicians set up ventilation fans to clear out strong chemical fumes safely. You can relax in another room while the team works their magic.
A specialized spray gun applies multiple coats of high grade acrylic polyurethane. This gives your bathing zone that glossy look you truly desire.
Curing usually takes about twenty four to forty eight hours to finish. You must keep the surface completely dry during this initial curing window.
Afterwards you simply use mild dish soap and a soft sponge for cleaning. This easy maintenance routine keeps your resurfaced tub looking fresh and glossy.
Living in this scenic Texas region means keeping your property value high. Smart upgrades attract better buyers if you ever decide to sell.
Since the local median income varies you want cost effective home improvements. This affordable service gives you high end results on a strict budget.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|

Looking at these numbers makes the choice remarkably clear and straightforward. You save time and money by updating the existing structure.
Local contractors know the specific water hardness issues affecting our area. This local knowledge helps them choose the right primer for your pipes.
Working with nearby technicians also guarantees prompt customer support if you need help. You never have to wait weeks for a callback from them.
Professional sprayers wear full respirator masks during the entire application process. This keeps toxic vapors away from your living spaces and family members.
Proper containment plastic sheets protect your bathroom floors and vanity cabinets entirely. You will not find any overspray on your expensive tile or hardware.
Many homeowners worry that the new coating will peel off easily. However modern bonding agents create a molecular adhesion that defies gravity.
Another myth suggests that the finish smells forever inside your house. The strong odor fades completely within a few days of proper ventilation.
A properly maintained new coating easily lasts for ten to fifteen years. This incredible lifespan rivals the durability of a brand new porcelain tub.
Avoiding abrasive scouring powders ensures your investment stays shiny and smooth longer. You simply wipe the surface clean with minimal effort every week.
Throwing away a heavy iron basin fills up our regional landfills. Refinishing keeps tons of heavy construction waste completely out of local dumps.
Conserving raw manufacturing materials helps protect the natural beauty of our environment. You make an eco friendly choice while beautifying your personal bathroom space.
Avoid dropping heavy glass perfume bottles directly onto the finished basin floor. Using a rubber bath mat prevents accidental impact damage from sharp objects.
Checking your faucets for leaks stops constant water dripping from staining the surface. Simple preventative habits keep your newly sprayed tub looking pristine for decades.

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.
