A dull or chipped tub in Lillie does not need a demolition crew. It needs one technician, one day and a sprayed finish that shines.
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.
Your old tub probably looks like a relic from another decade right now.
Which is why you might feel tempted to tear the whole thing out.
But wait, because that messy demolition job will cost you a small fortune!
Actually, there is a much smarter way to handle this common household headache.
This budget-friendly cosmetic restoration process completely breathes new life into your dull, stained, or chipped bathing fixture.
We come right to your home in Union Parish to perform this magic on-site.
By choosing this refinishing route, you save thousands of dollars on plumbing bills.
You also avoid the weeks of dust and chaos that come with a full bathroom remodel.
Our local team makes the entire surface look bright, glossy, and brand new in just one day.
So, how does this miracle makeover actually work when we show up at your door?
First, we thoroughly clean the existing porcelain or fiberglass to strip away decades of soap scum.
This step is super important because any leftover residue will ruin the final bond.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, ugly chips, or rust spots that ruin the look.
This patching process ensures the final finish looks completely flat and smooth.
After that, we apply a special bonding agent that acts like superglue for the new coating.
Finally, we spray on several coats of a high-tech, high-gloss acrylic polymer finish.
This liquid coating cures into a rock-hard shell that looks exactly like brand-new factory porcelain.
You get a gorgeous, shiny fixture without the headache of buying a new one.
| Project Phase | Key Actions | Main Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Acid cleaning and etching | Ensures the new surface sticks forever |
| Repair Work | Filling chips and cracks | Creates a perfectly smooth surface |
| Topcoat Application | Spraying high-gloss acrylic | Delivers a beautiful, shiny finish |
Think about the sheer nightmare of ripping a cast iron tub out of your wall.
You usually have to break tiles, cut drywall, and hire an expensive plumber to move pipes.
That simple replacement project quickly morphs into a giant money pit.
Fortunately, our specialized restoration service bypasses all of that stressful construction work.
We complete the entire job inside a single afternoon, leaving zero mess behind.
This means you can go back to using your beautiful bathroom in just about twenty-four hours.
On top of that, the savings you enjoy can be spent on other home improvements.
Most folks find that renewing the surface costs a tiny fraction of a full replacement.
It is easily the most cost-effective way to modernize a dated bathroom.
Many people worry that the new surface might just peel off after a few months.
Indeed, cheap DIY kits from the big box stores will definitely do exactly that.
We use professional-grade materials that form a chemical bond at the molecular level.
This industrial-strength adhesion prevents water from getting underneath the new layer.
Which means you do not have to worry about bubbles or peeling when you take a hot shower.
Our meticulous prep work guarantees the finish stays beautiful for many years down the road.
Maybe you are wondering if your specific fixture is too far gone for this process.
Honestly, we can save almost any cast iron, steel, or fiberglass unit out there.
Even those crazy retro colors from the seventies can be transformed into a classic, clean white.
However, we do need the structural integrity of the fixture to be mostly intact.
If your steel tub has rusted completely through with giant holes, restoration might not work.
But simple surface rust, ugly stains, and cosmetic chips are incredibly easy for us to fix.
We also work on built-in shower stalls and tiled surrounds to match your newly shiny tub.
This complete makeover creates a cohesive look that makes the whole room feel larger.
You will actually enjoy taking baths again instead of cringing at the stains.
Naturally, the high-performance coatings we use do have a very strong odor during application.
Because of this, we set up professional exhaust fans to vent the fumes outside.
This ventilation system keeps your indoor air clean while we spray the new finish.
Once the chemical curing process finishes, the odor completely disappears.
The final hardened surface is totally non-toxic and safe for your entire family.
We take safety very seriously to protect your home and our hardworking crew.

Supporting our local community with honest, high-quality craftsmanship is what we do best.
After we pack up our tools, you want to keep that gorgeous shine lasting forever.
Thankfully, taking care of your restored fixture is actually much easier than cleaning an old, porous one.
The new non-porous finish naturally resists dirt, grime, and stubborn mildew growth.
However, you must avoid using abrasive scrubbing powders or harsh bleach products.
These rough chemicals will slowly dull the beautiful shine over time.
Instead, simply wipe the surface down with a mild liquid soap and a soft sponge.
This gentle cleaning routine keeps the protective topcoat looking brand new.
You also want to fix leaky faucets quickly so dripping water does not wear down the drain area.
A little bit of basic care ensures your investment stays beautiful for a decade or more.
You might see cheap paint-on kits at your local hardware store and feel tempted to try them.
But those consumer-grade products lack the chemical bonding agents that professionals use.
They usually look streaky, show brush marks, and start peeling off within a few weeks.
Dealing with a failed DIY attempt actually costs more because we have to strip that paint off first.
Save yourself the immense frustration and get it done right the first time by calling us.
Our commercial spray equipment delivers a flawless, mirror-like finish that no brush or roller can match.
Why spend another day looking at that ugly, stained, or outdated bathing area?

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 around Lillie, 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.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
