A dull or chipped tub in Malvern 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.
You probably look at that faded, scratched tub every single morning and sigh. Replacing those bulky old fixtures costs a fortune and tears your home apart for weeks. Fortunately, our local team brings those dull, worn-out surfaces back to life in just a few hours.
This budget-friendly process saves you thousands of dollars while delivering a gorgeous, glossy finish. Let us take a closer look at how this smart home improvement works for you.
Many homeowners assume that a chipped or stained surface means they need to buy a brand new unit. However, the actual structure of your old cast iron or steel tub is usually in perfect shape under those ugly stains. By applying a fresh, high-performance liquid acrylic coating directly over the existing surface, we make the entire piece gleam like new.
This method completely eliminates the need for messy demolition work that disrupts your daily life. You avoid the nightmare of hiring plumbers, tearing out drywall, and paying for expensive disposal fees. Our specialized process seals up dangerous, porous areas where mold and bacteria love to hide from your scrub brush. You get a hygienic, ultra-smooth surface that cleans up with a simple wipe of a damp cloth.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick guide on how this smart update stacks up against a traditional bathroom tear-out.
| Project Details | Full Replacement | Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Average Duration | One to two weeks of loud construction | Finished in just four to eight hours |
| Mess and Dust | Extremely high with drywall and tile debris | Virtually none with careful area masking |
| Total Cost | Thousands of dollars for labor and parts | A tiny fraction of replacement expenses |
Choosing to renew your existing fixture keeps sturdy materials out of our local landfills. Which means you protect the environment while keeping your hard-earned money in your wallet. On top of that, the finished result looks so flawless that your guests will swear you bought a brand new fixture.
First, we carefully prep the workspace by masking off your floors, walls, and vanity to keep everything pristine. This ensures that no overspray or dust lands on your favorite bathroom fixtures or clean towels. Next, we use specialized cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits.
After the surface is chemically clean, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots with a heavy-duty waterproof filler. This step creates a perfectly level foundation so the final coat looks absolutely uniform and smooth. Then, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a super-glue between the old material and the new finish.
Once the bonding agent cures, we spray several layers of a high-tech acrylic urethane coating using professional HVLP equipment. This advanced material creates a deep, rich luster that resists impact and chemical wear for many years. Finally, we clean up our workspace and leave your bathroom looking incredibly bright, clean, and refreshed.
We take pride in serving our wonderful community here in Hot Spring County, which is home to about 10,853 friendly residents. Many hard-working families here, where the median household income sits around $32,756, want to maximize their home improvement budgets. Our services offer the perfect way to get a high-end look without stretching your finances thin.
Whether you live near the beautiful state parks or right in the heart of the 72104 ZIP code, we travel directly to your doorstep. This means you do not have to worry about transport logistics or dealing with out-of-town companies that charge extra for travel. We treat your home with the utmost respect, just like we would treat our own grandmother's house.
If you are ready to transform your bathroom, we offer a completely free, no-obligation estimate right at your convenience. This allows you to plan your budget easily without any high-pressure sales tactics or hidden fees. We simply walk you through the process, evaluate your fixture, and give you an honest price on the spot.
To maintain that brilliant, glass-like shine, you must avoid abrasive scrubbing powders and harsh bleach products. These rough cleaners can create microscopic scratches that dull the glossy finish over time. Instead, we highly recommend using mild, non-abrasive liquid soaps or gentle dish soap with a soft microfiber cloth.
Another great trick is to avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting directly on the surface for weeks. Standing water trapped under bottles can eventually weaken the bond of even the strongest professional coatings. By taking these simple, easy steps, you ensure your beautiful bathroom remains a source of pride for a very long time.
Do not spend another day staring at an ugly, stained bathroom fixture that makes you feel embarrassed. Our friendly, skilled team is ready to restore your peace of mind and give you a beautiful space you love showing off.

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 Malvern, 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.
