A dull or chipped tub in Mena 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.

First, we must thoroughly clean the old surface to remove decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits.
This critical preparation step ensures that our advanced bonding agents can grip the underlying material with maximum strength.
Without this deep chemical wash, the new finish would peel off like sunburned skin within a few months.
Next, we carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks that ruin the smooth look of your basin.
We fill these damaged areas with specialized waterproof compounds and sand them down until they match the surrounding contours.
This meticulous detail work guarantees a seamless foundation before we even open a single can of our premium topcoat.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of an industrial-grade acrylic urethane over the entire prepped area.
This high-tech material cures into a rock-hard shell that resists impact and retains its brilliant color for years.
You get a non-porous barrier that prevents mold growth and makes your weekly cleaning routine incredibly easy.
Buying a brand-new basin might seem cheap at first glance until you calculate the hidden costs of labor and plumbing.
Demolishing the old unit often damages the surrounding drywall, floor tiles, and delicate water supply lines.
By renewing the existing structure, you keep those extra dollars in your wallet for other home improvement projects.
On top of that, the entire job takes less than a single day to complete from start to finish.
You avoid the hassle of having strangers trampling through your home for weeks on end just to fix one room.
This rapid turnaround time means minimal disruption to your daily schedule and your family's peace of mind.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple breakdown of what to expect:
| Factor to Consider | Complete Basin Replacement | Our Specialized Coating Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | 3 to 7 days of messy work | Only 4 to 6 hours total |
| Demolition Required | Yes, walls and tile must go | No, everything stays in place |
| Overall Cost Level | Very high due to plumbing labor | Extremely budget-friendly |
| Expected Lifespan | 15 to 20 years | 10 to 15 years with proper care |
Living in Polk County means appreciating honest work and smart ways to stretch a hard-earned dollar.
With a local median household income of about $32,580, spending a fortune on a fancy bathroom remodel simply does not make sense.
Our cost-effective resurfacing system delivers the high-end look you want without draining your savings account.
Whether you live in a historic home near the heart of town or a cozy cabin tucked in the hills, we know how to handle older plumbing fixtures.
Many homes built decades ago feature heavy cast iron tubs that are far superior in quality to modern plastic alternatives.
Preserving these durable vintage pieces with a fresh protective layer is much wiser than throwing them into a landfill.
We proudly serve the entire 71953 ZIP code area, bringing our professional mobile setup straight to your driveway.
Our technicians arrive fully equipped with professional ventilation systems to safely draw fumes away from your living spaces.
You can trust us to treat your property with the utmost respect while we perform our magic in your bathroom.
Once we finish our work, caring for your glossy new surface is incredibly straightforward and simple.
You must avoid abrasive scouring powders or harsh bleach products that can scratch and dull the shiny acrylic finish.
Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or gentle foaming cleaners along with a soft microfiber cloth.
Another great tip is to never leave wet bath mats sitting on the bottom of the tub for long periods.
Trapped moisture beneath suction cups can weaken the bond of the coating over time and cause premature peeling.
By simply rinsing the surface and letting it air dry, you ensure your fixture stays bright and beautiful for over a decade.
We understand how embarrassing it can be to invite guests over when your guest bathroom looks yellowed and stained.
You do not have to feel ashamed of an outdated washroom or spend sleepless nights worrying about the high cost of remodeling.
Our friendly team is here to guide you through this affordable transformation with clear communication and no hidden fees.
Naturally, we want to be completely honest about what this process can and cannot do for your home.
This service will not fix active plumbing leaks behind your walls or repair rotten floorboards beneath your heavy iron fixtures.
However, if your plumbing is solid and you simply hate the ugly color or rough texture of your tub, we are your perfect solution.
Now is the perfect time to stop putting off this essential home upgrade and reclaim your peace of mind.
Our hassle-free estimation process is completely free of charge and carries absolutely no obligation to buy.

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 Mena, 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.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
