A dull or chipped tub in Luttrell 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.
That old, dingy tub staring back at you every morning probably makes you want to close your eyes while brushing your teeth. Honestly, nobody wants to bathe in a basin that looks like it has lived through several wars and a few sloppy paint jobs. Fortunately, you can get a shiny, smooth surface again without paying thousands of dollars to rip out your entire bathroom wall.
Our local crew specializes in reviving worn-out bathroom fixtures right inside your home. This budget-friendly process breathes new life into tired porcelain, acrylic, and fiberglass surfaces in just a single day. Since we live and work nearby, we are happy to head over to your property to take a look and give you a free estimate on the spot.
Think about the massive mess that comes with a traditional remodel. You have to deal with loud hammering, dust flying into every corner of your house, and contractors tracking dirt through your hallways for a week. By choosing our smart alternative, you avoid the headache and save your hard-earned cash for other home improvements.
To start off, we clean the existing surface with specialized solutions to strip away years of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures that the new materials will bond perfectly to the old substrate. If we skip this part, the new finish might peel off like a bad sunburn within a few months.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using a heavy-duty polyester filler. This acts like auto body filler, creating a flat, seamless foundation before we apply the top coats. You will not even remember where the old damage was once we finish sanding those spots smooth.
After that, we spray a high-tech bonding agent that chemically fuses the old surface with our new premium coatings. We then apply several layers of a specialized acrylic urethane topcoat using professional spray equipment. This creates a hard, glossy shell that looks exactly like brand-new porcelain but at a fraction of the replacement cost.
| Repair Method | Project Duration | Average Cost | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | 3 to 5 Days | Very High | Extreme Dust |
| Our Surface Resurfacing | 4 to 6 Hours | Very Low | Minimal |
Maybe you are wondering if this process actually holds up over the years. Actually, when you care for it properly, this fresh finish can easily last a decade or more. That means you get long-term beauty without the premium price tag of a showroom replacement.
On top of that, cleaning becomes a breeze because the new surface is non-porous. Which means dirt and grime cannot grip onto the material anymore. You can just wipe it down with a mild liquid soap, saving you from scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh abrasive powders.
This process also lets you change the color of your fixture. If you are tired of looking at that outdated 1970s avocado green or mustard yellow, we can easily spray it a bright, modern white. This simple color swap instantly makes your whole bathroom feel larger, brighter, and much cleaner.

Naturally, applying high-performance coatings does create a strong chemical odor during the spraying process. To keep you safe, we bring powerful exhaust fans and long ventilation tubes to pull the fumes out through the nearest window. This keeps the air inside your home clean while we work our magic.
Once we pack up our tools and leave, the smell will quickly fade away over the next few hours. We recommend keeping the bathroom door closed and the window cracked for a little while just to be sure. By the next day, you can step into your bathroom and enjoy the fresh scent of a clean, upgraded space.
To protect your new glossy surface, you must avoid using suction cup bath mats. These mats trap water underneath them, which can weaken the bond of the new coating over time and cause bubbling. Instead, we can apply a permanent, built-in slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your tub during the process.
Additionally, stay away from harsh bleach, scouring pads, or abrasive cleansers. These rough products will scratch the shiny topcoat and make it look dull over time. Just stick to gentle dish soap or a mild spray cleaner, and your fixture will retain its gorgeous luster for years.
Lastly, make sure you fix any leaky faucets as soon as possible. Constant dripping water in the same spot can eventually erode the finish and lead to premature wear. A simple washer replacement on your faucet will protect your newly restored wash basin for the long haul.
Why live with an ugly, stained washing basin when a affordable solution is just a phone call away? Our friendly local team is ready to answer all your questions and help you plan your bathroom upgrade. We never use high-pressure sales tactics, and we always give honest advice.

We take pride in our craftsmanship and love seeing the smiles on our clients' faces when they see the final result.

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 Luttrell, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
