All over McLennan 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 might be tired of looking at that scratched, stained, or peeling basin in your washroom. Replacing it sounds like a nightmare, but I have a secret way to make it look brand new again for a fraction of the cost.
Most folks think the only way to fix a gross, yellowing basin is to rip it right out of the floor. That usually means dealing with plumbers, expensive new parts, and weeks of dust everywhere. Luckily, you can bypass all that chaos by choosing a process that revitalizes the surface instead.
This clever method saves you from heavy demolition while keeping your house clean. It creates a smooth, glossy finish that feels like pure luxury under your fingertips. You will see a total transformation in just a single day or two.
Replacing an old unit is a massive headache that costs way more than you think. You have to pay for the materials, the labor, and the inevitable tile repairs that happen when you pull things apart. It is a messy job that leaves you without a functional washroom for quite a while.
Meanwhile, my preferred approach keeps everything exactly where it belongs. I use high-grade chemical bonding agents to fuse a new, durable layer right onto your existing porcelain or fiberglass. This means you do not have to mess with pipes or deal with any plumbing disasters.
Another major perk is that this work happens right inside your home in McLennan County. You get to keep your current layout while enjoying a surface that looks like it came straight from a magazine. It is the smartest way to get that high-end look without breaking your piggy bank.
First off, I start by cleaning every inch of the area with strong cleaners to remove decades of soap scum and grime. If there are any chips or cracks, I fill those spots with specialized filler to create a perfectly flat base. This ensures that the final result stays strong for years to come.
Next, I apply a special primer that locks onto the material. Once that sets, I spray on several layers of a hardened, shiny material that mimics the feel of fine pottery. You will be amazed when you finally see the finished product shining under the lights.
After that, the curing time is pretty fast so you can get back to your normal routine quickly. Imagine stepping into a bright, clean, and refreshing space every single morning. It changes your whole mood when your personal sanctuary looks tidy and well-maintained.
Working with someone who knows the area makes everything easier. When you pick a local pro, you get faster communication and a person who actually cares about their reputation in the community. You are not just a number on a spreadsheet to me.
Beyond the friendly service, you get the advantage of someone who understands the local water quality and how it affects different finishes. Since the area has its own unique characteristics, knowing exactly what materials hold up best is vital for a lasting result. I always take the time to inspect your specific unit before starting.
Furthermore, I provide a free estimate so you know exactly what you are paying for before any work begins. There are no hidden fees or surprises waiting for you at the end of the project. You stay in control of your budget while getting the high-quality finish you deserve.
Many homeowners worry about the smell during the application. While there is a bit of a scent due to the industrial-grade materials, I always use proper ventilation to keep the air moving. You will hardly notice it after a few hours once everything dries up.
On top of that, the durability of this finish is quite impressive. It resists stains and mold much better than old, porous porcelain that has lost its protective top layer. You will find that cleaning becomes a breeze because dirt simply slides right off the slick surface.
For those who are curious about the technical side, the chemical bond is incredibly strong. It creates a seamless barrier that protects your subfloor from water damage. This prevents leaks that could lead to expensive rot problems down the road for your home.
| Feature | Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| No demolition | Keeps your home dust-free and quiet |
| Fast application | You get your space back in under 24 hours |
| High-gloss finish | Looks like a brand-new, fancy installation |
| Chemical bonding | Provides a long-lasting, durable shield |
Once the work is done, you should only use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners. Harsh chemicals or steel wool can scratch the new finish and ruin that beautiful, glassy shine. Stick to mild soaps and a soft cloth to keep it looking perfect for years.
If you take care of it, this layer can last for a decade or more without needing another touch. It is far more affordable than buying a new tub and hiring a contractor to install it. You save your money for other important things in your life.
Whenever you are ready to stop looking at those ugly stains, just let me know. I can come out to your property, look at the damage, and give you a free quote. There is absolutely no pressure to make a decision on the spot.

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.
