All over Lumpkin 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.
You can completely transform your dingy bathroom tub today without spending thousands of dollars on messy demolition. This smart alternative saves your sanity, your time, and your hard-earned cash while delivering a gorgeous, glossy finish. Let us take care of the hard work and give you a beautiful space you will love showing off to guests.
Now, let us look at how this process actually works. Many homeowners think they have to tear out their entire bathroom just to get rid of an ugly, stained, or outdated tub. That is a huge mistake because it ends up costing a fortune and creates weeks of dusty chaos in your home. Instead, our specialized local service applies a durable, high-gloss liquid coating directly over your existing fixture to make it look brand new.
This means you get a fresh, clean surface that feels incredibly smooth. On top of that, you do not have to deal with leaky plumbing hookups or broken wall tiles that usually happen during a full replacement. You simply get a sparkling, renewed basin in a matter of hours, which lets you enjoy a relaxing soak by the very next day.
Think about the last time you tried a DIY home project. It probably took twice as long as you planned, and you likely had to run to the home improvement store three different times. Removing an old cast iron or steel basin is ten times worse because those things are incredibly heavy and locked behind your drywall.
Because of this difficulty, contractors have to smash your old unit into pieces or rip out your door frames just to get it out. Then you have to pay tile setters, plumbers, and drywall patchers to fix the path of destruction. Which means your quick weekend update suddenly morphs into a giant money pit that leaves you showering at the local gym for two weeks.
Fortunately, our on-site surface restoration method bypasses every single one of those headaches. We do all the preparation, cleaning, and spraying right where the fixture sits. This keeps your bathroom intact, saves your budget, and prevents unnecessary waste from piling up in our local landfills.
You might wonder how a sprayed-on finish can actually hold up to daily baths and scrubbing. The secret lies in the meticulous preparation work and the industrial-grade bonding agents we use. We do not just paint over your problems; we chemically fuse a new layer to your old fixture.
To start, we thoroughly clean the area using specialized solutions to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. After that, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or scratches with a tough polyester filler. This creates a perfectly flat, uniform canvas for the next step.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like microscopic velcro. This chemical link ensures that our premium acrylic polyurethane topcoat sticks permanently to the old porcelain, fiberglass, or acrylic. Once we spray the final layers, they cure into an incredibly hard, glossy shell that looks exactly like brand new ceramic.
To help you see the real value, we put together a quick comparison table. This shows how our specialized surface renewal stacks up against traditional replacement and cheap plastic liners.
| Factor | Surface Renewal | Full Replacement | Plastic Liners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very Affordable | Extremely Expensive | Moderately High |
| Time to Complete | 3 to 5 Hours | 1 to 2 Weeks | Several Weeks (Custom Order) |
| Demolition Needed | None | Extensive | None |
| Water Trap Risk | Zero Risk | Zero Risk | High Risk of Mold Growth |
As you can see, plastic liners might seem easy, but they often trap moisture underneath. This leads to nasty mold smells and squishy bottoms when you step into the shower. Our seamless spray-on coating completely eliminates that risk because it bonds directly to the original structure.
We love working throughout this beautiful mountain region, from the historic square in Dahlonega to the quiet rural roads winding through the Chattahoochee National Forest. Our local team understands the specific water quality issues in our county, where well water can sometimes leave stubborn orange iron stains on your porcelain. We use top-tier materials designed to resist this discoloration, keeping your washroom looking brighter for longer.
Whether you live in a cozy cabin near the local wineries or a modern family home close to the university, we treat your property with the utmost respect. We know that the local population of over twenty-six thousand residents appreciates honest, down-to-earth service without any hidden fees. That is why we always provide clear, straightforward advice and a completely free written estimate before we start any work.
Our service area covers all local neighborhoods within the county, including ZIP codes like 30533, ensuring you get prompt, reliable service right at your doorstep. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your busy schedule, allowing you to get back to your routine quickly. You do not have to worry about out-of-town crews charging you extra for travel because we are already right here in the community.
Once we finish our magic, you will want to keep that shine looking beautiful for a very long time. The good news is that caring for your restored surface is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous tub. Because the new finish is completely non-porous, dirt and soap scum wash away with minimal effort.
However, you must avoid abrasive cleaners like Ajax, Comet, or harsh scrubbing pads. These gritty products will scratch the glossy topcoat over time, making it look dull and allowing dirt to stick. Instead, you should use mild, non-abrasive liquid cleaners like Dawn dish soap or Lysol Basin Tub & Tile cleaner.
This simple care routine ensures your fixture stays bright and glossy for up to ten to fifteen years. Which means you spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees and more time enjoying your weekends. It is a simple shift that protects your investment and keeps your bathroom looking like a high-end retreat.
You do not have to live with a stained, ugly, or outdated bathroom any longer. Our friendly team of skilled technicians is ready to bring your tired old fixture back to life with our premium restoration process. We make the entire experience smooth, clean, and completely stress-free from start to finish.
By choosing our local service, you support a business that cares about our community and delivers top-notch craftsmanship. We take immense pride in our work, and we love seeing the amazed looks on our clients' faces when they see their finished bathroom. We guarantee you will be thrilled with the speedy turnaround and the incredible savings.

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.
