All over McIntosh 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.
Now is the perfect time to fix that ugly yellowed basin in your bathroom. This lets you save thousands of dollars compared to a messy demolition job. Which means your guests will finally admire your shiny bathing vessel without judging your life choices.
Suddenly, you notice your vintage soaking unit looks dull and feels rough to the touch. This happens because years of harsh scrubbing strip away the protective glaze. Consequently, nasty stains sink deep into the pores and refuse to wash away.
Fortunately, a skilled local crew can spray a fresh chemical coating right over your existing fixture. This gives you a gorgeous glossy finish that looks brand new again. By choosing this smart route, you skip weeks of dusty construction noise in your home.
Basically, technicians start by cleaning the surface with industrial acid to remove soap scum and body oils. This allows the bonding agent to grab onto the porcelain with extreme strength. After that, they spray multiple layers of specialized acrylic polyurethane to seal everything tightly.
Meanwhile, you get to enjoy a gorgeous high-gloss look that matches any bathroom decor style. This prevents water from seeping into the subfloor and causing costly rot issues. Best of all, the whole spraying process takes only a single morning to complete.
Replacing a heavy cast iron soaking tub involves tearing down walls and ripping out plumbing pipes. Instead, our crew arrives with specialized sprayers to fix the problem right in place. This protects your tile work and keeps your bathroom layout completely untouched.
Beyond that, the fresh coating creates a smooth barrier that stops mold from growing in tiny cracks. This lets you clean the whole area in half the time with gentle soap. Ultimately, you get a gorgeous bathing spot without dealing with a massive renovation budget.

| Mess Level | Extreme dust | Minimal cleanup |
Looking closer at our service area, McIntosh County in Georgia has zero permanent residents according to recent census data. Yet, local property owners still need reliable upkeep for their historic coastal houses and hunting cabins. That is why our mobile team travels directly to your ZIP codes to service your bathing fixtures on site.
Over time, abrasive cleaners scratch the shiny top layer off your porcelain washing basin. This leaves behind dull patches that trap dirt and make the tub look permanently dirty. Luckily, our liquid bonding technique fills those micro-scratches instantly.
Besides that, leaky faucets often cause ugly rust stains around the drain basket. Our team sands away the corrosion before spraying a pristine white finish over the damaged area. This stops ugly rust bleeding and restores your unit to its original glory.
First, we ventilate the room carefully to clear out any strong fumes from the industrial primers. Then, we mask off your walls and floors to protect them from airborne overspray. This ensures your bathroom stays clean and tidy throughout the entire project.
Next, we etch the worn porcelain to create a micro-porous grip for the upcoming layers. This makes sure the new acrylic coating never peels or bubbles down the road. Naturally, you get a durable surface that withstands daily showers for many years.
After the final topcoat goes on, the shiny shell needs about twenty-four hours to cure completely. During this waiting period, you must keep the bathroom completely dry and free from dust. Following these simple rules guarantees a rock-hard finish that lasts.
Moving forward, avoid using steel wool or harsh bleach powders on your newly restored washing basin. Instead, stick to mild dish soap and a soft sponge to preserve that brilliant shine. This daily habit keeps your fixture looking freshly painted forever.
Right now, you can schedule a completely free quote by reaching out to our local office staff. We discuss your specific color preferences and check the current damage level of your unit. Then, we provide an honest pricing estimate with zero hidden fees attached.

Ultimately, investing in your bathroom raises the overall value of your house without draining your savings account. This lets you enjoy a luxurious bathing experience right in the comfort of your own home. Take action today and let us bring your tired porcelain back to life.
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.
