A dull or chipped tub in Medulla 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 ugly, chipped tub in your home does not need to go in the trash. You can actually get a gorgeous, shiny surface again without spending thousands of dollars on a messy demolition. Our local team comes right to your house to restore that worn-out fixture so it looks incredibly clean and fresh.
Which means you save a pile of money while getting a sparkling finish. If you want to see how affordable this quick transformation is, you can grab a free estimate from us today.
First of all, ripping out an old cast iron or steel tub is a absolute nightmare. You often have to break tiles, mess up the drywall, and sometimes even widen the bathroom door just to get the old heavy beast out of the house. This whole messy process can take days or even weeks to finish up.
On top of that, plumbers charge an absolute fortune to hook up new pipes to a different drain setup. You might start out thinking you are spending a few hundred bucks on a cheap replacement shell at the big box store. Then you end up with a massive bill that makes you want to cry. Our smart restoration method completely bypasses that stress by keeping your existing fixture right where it belongs.
This lets you avoid the dust, the noise, and the endless parade of contractors walking through your home. We simply fix what you already have, saving you time and keeping your sanity intact.
| The Big Decision | Full Replacement | Our Professional Surface Coating |
|---|---|---|
| Total Time | 3 to 7 days of loud construction | Just a few hours of quiet work |
| Mess Level | High dust, broken tile, drywall debris | Virtually none, everything is masked off |
| Average Cost | Very expensive due to plumbing and labor | Extremely budget-friendly for any household |
Now, you might be wondering how we actually make an old, stained basin look like brand new porcelain. We do not just paint over the dirt and hope for the best because that would peel off in a week. Instead, we use a highly detailed multi-step bonding system that locks onto the original material.
To start, our crew cleans the entire area with specialized solutions to strip away years of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. After that, we repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or chips with a heavy-duty filler. Once the surface is completely smooth, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent that acts like superglue for our topcoat.
Finally, we spray on multiple layers of a high-tech, high-gloss acrylic polymer coating. This chemical bond creates a durable, glossy shield that resists water, heat, and daily wear. You get a thick, smooth barrier that looks exactly like a brand new factory finish.
Because we use professional-grade bonding agents, these materials can have a very strong chemical odor during the application. For this reason, we bring powerful exhaust fans and setup temporary ventilation systems to pull the fumes directly outside your home. This setup keeps your indoor air clean and ensures your family does not have to breathe in any harsh vapors.
Which means you can relax in the other room while we do all the hard work. Once we pack up our gear and the finish cures, the smell completely vanishes, leaving behind only a beautiful shine.
To keep your glossy new finish looking pristine for years, you have to ditch those abrasive bleach scrubs. Harsh scrubbing powders and rough green pads will slowly dull the shiny protective topcoat over time. All you really need is a mild, non-abrasive liquid soap and a soft microfiber cloth to wipe it down.
This simple cleaning routine saves you from doing heavy scrubbing on your hands and knees. Plus, it extends the lifespan of the material, keeping that bright luster alive for a decade or more.
Living in this beautiful part of the Sunshine State means dealing with hard water that can easily stain bathroom fixtures. Many homeowners in Medulla, Florida, struggle with stubborn orange and brown ring stains caused by local mineral deposits. Our special restoration process seals up the porous areas of your tub, making it much harder for these tough minerals to cling to the surface.
Whether you live in a cozy classic home or a newer property near the local airport, we can help you update your space. With a local median household income of $49,356, we know that finding affordable, high-quality home improvement options is incredibly important to families here. We love helping our neighbors in the 33813 ZIP code and surrounding areas upgrade their homes without draining their savings accounts.
Since our community has a population of 9,679 people, we treat every single client like a close neighbor. You will not get lost in a corporate phone system or deal with pushy sales tactics when you call us. We offer honest, upfront pricing and hard work that speaks for itself.
However, we believe in being completely honest about what this service can and cannot do for your bathroom. The biggest benefit is obviously the massive savings, as you get a gorgeous surface for a fraction of the cost of a remodel. It is also incredibly fast, meaning you can take a relaxing bath in your newly coated tub just twenty-four hours after we finish.
On the downside, this process is not a permanent solution that will last fifty years like brand new cast iron. If you drop heavy metal tools or harsh chemicals onto the surface, it can chip or peel just like any other coating. But if you treat it with a little bit of care, it will look absolutely stellar for a very long time.
Another thing to consider is that we cannot fix major structural damage, like a tub that is completely cracked in half. For typical wear, surface rust, chips, and ugly outdated colors, though, our system is the absolute perfect remedy.
Are you ready to finally get rid of that ugly, dated bathroom look without spending a fortune? Our friendly local team is standing by to help you transform your space in just one afternoon. We will come right to your home, look over your fixture, and give you a detailed, honest quote with zero obligation.
This lets you plan your budget easily without worrying about any hidden fees or surprise costs down the road. Contact us today to schedule your free estimate and take the first step toward a brighter, cleaner home!
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 Medulla, 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.
