All over Lee 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.
Tired of that dingy old tub ruining your bathroom's vibe? You're probably dreaming of a sparkling new one, right? Well, you're in the right place.
We're here to talk about giving your current fixture a serious glow-up, making it look brand new without ripping everything out. It's a smart way to upgrade your space, and you might be surprised at how affordable it is.
You might be looking at your bathtub and thinking, "This thing is a lost cause." Maybe there are chips, cracks, or that stubborn discoloration just won't budge, no matter how much you scrub.
It's a common feeling, seeing that worn-out tub and imagining a massive renovation project. That often means a lot of mess, noise, and a significant chunk of change disappearing from your bank account.
Plus, the idea of being without a functional bathroom for days on end is frankly a nightmare, isn't it? It disrupts your whole routine and adds a layer of stress you just don't need.
But what if there was a way to get that fresh, clean look and feel without all the drama? Imagine your tub looking so good people would swear you just had it installed. That's exactly what we're talking about here.
It's a process that transforms your existing fixture, breathing new life into it. This means you get the visual impact of a new tub but without the sky-high price tag or the invasive construction.
This service is all about restoration, bringing back the shine and smoothness your tub once had. You'll be amazed at the difference a little professional attention can make to your entire bathroom's appeal.
Let's be honest, a full bathtub replacement is a major undertaking. It involves demolition, hauling away old materials, and installing a completely new unit.
This often means days, if not weeks, of disruption in your home. Your bathroom becomes a construction zone, and your daily life gets turned upside down.
Then there's the cost factor. New tubs, especially high-quality ones, can be incredibly expensive. Add in the labor costs for installation, and you're looking at a significant investment.
So, before you even start thinking about knocking down walls, consider if there's a simpler, more budget-friendly solution to get the bathroom you've been wanting.
Now, let's dive into how we can make that old tub look like it just rolled off the factory floor. This isn't about painting over the problem; it's a comprehensive restoration process.
We're talking about meticulously preparing the surface, addressing any imperfections, and then applying a specialized coating that bonds securely. This creates a durable, beautiful finish that's meant to last.
Think of it as giving your tub a high-tech spa treatment. It's designed to rejuvenate the entire fixture, making it look and feel fantastic.
First off, we come to your home right here in Lee County, Mississippi, and take a good look at your current tub. We check for any damage, like chips or cracks, and assess the overall condition of the surface.
Then, our team gets to work cleaning and preparing the area thoroughly. This might involve removing old caulk, sanding down any rough spots, and ensuring the surface is perfectly clean and ready for the next step.
After that, we apply a special, high-performance coating. This isn't just any paint; it's a durable, multi-layer system designed to withstand daily use and resist moisture.
This process typically takes a fraction of the time a full replacement would, and the results are seriously impressive. You get a like-new finish without the mess.
See those little chips around the drain or that hairline crack near the faucet? Those are prime targets for our restoration process. We don't just cover them up; we repair them.
Our technicians meticulously fill and smooth out any chips or cracks, making the surface completely uniform again. This ensures a seamless finish, so those imperfections are a distant memory.
This attention to detail means you won't just have a shiny tub, but one that's structurally sound and looks flawless. It's about restoring integrity alongside beauty.
The coating we use is the real star of the show. It's a specialized acrylic urethane or epoxy-based material, depending on the specific needs of your tub.
This material creates an incredibly hard, glossy surface that's resistant to scratches, chips, and common household chemicals. It's designed to hold up against the rigors of daily use in a busy household.
Plus, the finish is non-porous, which makes it super easy to clean and resistant to mold and mildew growth. Say goodbye to those stubborn soap scum rings!
So, why should you consider this approach instead of going the traditional replacement route? The advantages are pretty clear and directly benefit you.
It's a far less disruptive process, meaning your home remains livable throughout. You don't have to pack up and camp out in a hotel.
And let's not forget the financial aspect. This method is significantly more budget-friendly than buying and installing a new tub.
This is perhaps the most compelling reason for many homeowners. Investing in a new bathtub can easily run into thousands of dollars, and that's before you factor in installation labor.
Our restoration service offers a way to achieve a dramatically upgraded bathroom appearance at a fraction of that cost. This leaves you with more money for other home projects or simply for enjoying life.
You get that "wow" factor without the "ouch" factor on your wallet. It's a smart financial decision for any homeowner looking to improve their property value and living space.
Think about the time commitment of a full replacement. It's days of noise, dust, and inconvenience.
With our process, the entire transformation usually happens within a single day. You can often use your tub again the very next day after the coating has fully cured.
This minimal disruption means you get your bathroom back quickly, allowing you to get back to your normal routine without missing a beat. It's a speedy solution that delivers big results.
Choosing restoration over replacement is also a fantastic choice for the environment. It means less waste heading to the landfills.
By refurbishing your existing tub, you're reducing the demand for new manufacturing, which often involves significant energy consumption and resource extraction.
It's a sustainable option that aligns with responsible homeownership practices, contributing to a healthier planet right here in Mississippi.
While this service is amazing, it's not a magic wand for every single tub out there. There are certain situations where it shines brightest, and others where a full replacement might be more suitable.
Understanding these nuances helps you make the best decision for your specific needs and your bathroom. It's about finding the right fit for your situation.
Generally, if the structural integrity of your tub is sound, but the surface is worn, scratched, or discolored, this is an ideal scenario. We're essentially giving the existing shell a beautiful new skin.
The core of this service relies on the tub itself being in good shape. If the base structure is solid, without major cracks that go all the way through or significant warping, then we're in business.
We're experts at assessing these things. If the tub is fundamentally strong, even if it looks a bit rough around the edges, it's a prime candidate for a stunning resurfacing.
This means you can avoid the upheaval and expense of a full replacement when the underlying fixture is perfectly good. We focus on the visible, cosmetic, and surface-level issues.
Our specialty is tackling issues like chips, scratches, stains that won't come out, and worn-out finishes. These are all surface-level problems that our coating process is designed to resolve beautifully.
However, if your tub has major structural damage, like large cracks that compromise its integrity or significant sagging, then a full replacement might be the safer and more appropriate long-term solution.
We're always upfront about what's feasible. Our goal is to provide the best possible outcome for your specific situation, ensuring a lasting and satisfying result.
Older tubs, especially those made from cast iron or quality porcelain enamel, are often excellent candidates for reglazing. These materials are incredibly durable and can withstand the restoration process beautifully.
Modern acrylic or fiberglass tubs can also be reglazed, though the preparation might differ slightly. We tailor our approach to the specific material of your fixture.
The key is that the fundamental structure is sound and the surface is ready to accept a new, durable coating. We've seen it all and know how to handle different materials.
So, you've heard about the benefits, you understand the process, and you're starting to see how this could be the perfect solution for your bathroom. Now comes the exciting part: taking action.
You're ready to ditch that tired old tub and welcome a fresh, beautiful focal point into your bathroom. It's about enhancing your home's appeal and your daily enjoyment.
Getting started is straightforward, and we're here to guide you every step of the way. Think of us as your partners in bathroom revitalization.
You don't have to live with a less-than-perfect tub any longer. Imagine stepping into your bathroom and feeling that sense of pride and relaxation that a beautiful space provides.

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.
