All over Martin 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.
Are you tired of staring at that stained bathtub in your home? Maybe you want to request a free quote right now to fix it up.
Have you ever wondered how people make old tubs look brand new without tearing them out? This magic process involves spraying a fresh coating over your existing porcelain or fiberglass basin. Which means you save thousands of dollars on messy demolition work.
Now, nobody wants to deal with weeks of noisy construction contractors blocking hallways. Instead, trained technicians arrive at your property to spray specialized bonding agents and topcoats directly onto the surface. This lets you enjoy a glossy finish in just one single afternoon.
Years of scrubbing with harsh chemicals leave tiny scratches that trap dirt and stubborn mold. Fortunately, professional spraying seals those microscopic pores to give you an easy-to-clean haven of luxury. On top of that, your morning routine becomes much nicer when you step into a bright and shining basin.
Do you know that ripping out a heavy cast iron tub ruins your surrounding tile walls? Removing old fixtures triggers unexpected plumbing expenses and structural headaches that drag on for weeks. By comparison, surface restoration keeps your original plumbing completely intact and undisturbed.
Furthermore, traditional remodeling creates massive piles of heavy debris destined for local landfills. Opting for a spray renewal keeps tons of waste out of the ground while preserving vintage fixtures. That choice protects the environment and saves your hard-earned cash simultaneously.
Are you worried about matching your vintage bathroom decor with modern color palettes? Skilled applicators can tint the new finish to match any custom color scheme you desire. This lets you modernize your guest bath without changing your favorite tiles or vanity.
Have you calculated the massive price gap between a full bathroom gut job and surface renewal? Traditional remodeling often costs five times more than a simple professional coating service. This allows you to redirect those savings toward other important home improvement projects.
Meanwhile, property values tend to jump higher when bathrooms look clean and updated. Prospective buyers instantly notice a sparkling tub and assume the entire house received meticulous care. Consequently, your real estate investment pays off big time if you decide to sell later.
Additionally, downtime is practically nonexistent compared to traditional construction timelines. You can use your restored fixture within twenty-four to forty-eight hours after the technicians finish spraying. That speed ensures your daily life faces zero disruption.
Are you curious about the steps technicians take when they visit your house? First, they scrub the entire surface to remove soap scum, body oils, and mineral buildup. This deep cleaning guarantees that the new layers adhere properly without peeling.
Next, workers carefully tape off your walls, floors, and fixtures to prevent accidental overspray. Ventilation systems are then set up to clear out fumes while the curing process happens. This lets your home stay safe and breathable throughout the entire operation.
Finally, a powerful primer goes down before multiple coats of high-grade acrylic urethane are applied. The resulting shield resists chips, stains, and fading for well over a decade. Which means you get long-lasting beauty without ongoing maintenance worries.
Do you think sprayed finishes peel off easily after a few months of normal use? Modern bonding agents create a chemical weld that fuses the new material to the old substrate. Because of this, peeling only happens when cheap DIY kits are used instead of professional products.
Another myth suggests that painted tubs feel rough or sticky under bare feet. Properly cured coatings feel exceptionally smooth, warm, and comforting against your skin. On top of that, non-slip additives can be safely integrated into the bottom for extra safety.
Some homeowners worry about awful chemical odors lingering inside their living spaces for days. Professional crews utilize heavy-duty exhaust fans that vent all strong smells directly out through a window. This keeps your indoor air fresh and clean right after the crew packs up.
Are you still weighing your options between tearing out your bathroom or updating the surface? Reviewing this helpful comparison table might make your decision much easier.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Required | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | 1 to 3 Weeks | Extreme Debris |
| Surface Renewal | Affordable | 1 Day | Zero Debris |
As you can see, choosing the restoration route saves you both time and major stress. Now you can move forward with total confidence in your home improvement plans.
Do you want to know how to keep your renewed basin looking gorgeous for years? Avoiding abrasive scouring powders is the single most important rule for protecting your investment. Instead, use mild liquid dish soap and a soft sponge to wash away grime.
Furthermore, fixing leaky faucets immediately prevents mineral rings from forming on your fresh coating. Consistent maintenance habits guarantee that your investment continues to shine brightly day after day. Which means your bathroom retains that freshly remodeled look for a very long time.

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.
