A dull or chipped tub in Mitchellville 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.
You can transform your outdated tub today. Our specialized local team brings dull, chipped, and discolored surfaces back to life in just a few hours. Professional surface restoration saves you thousands of dollars compared to a messy, time-consuming replacement project.
If you are tired of looking at that ugly, stained basin every time you walk into your bathroom, you are not alone. Many homeowners dread the thought of tearing out their old cast iron or steel fixtures because of the insane mess it creates. Fortunately, we offer a smart, budget-friendly alternative that makes your existing setup look shiny and brand new without any heavy construction.
This unique process involves applying a high-performance liquid acrylic coating over your existing fixture. First, we meticulously clean the area using industrial-strength agents to strip away decades of soap scum, mineral deposits, and body oils. After that, we repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or unsightly chips with a specialized polyester filler so the foundation is completely flush.
Once the prep work is finished, we spray a molecular bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new finish. Next, our technicians apply multiple coats of a premium topcoat using a professional spray system. This creates a gorgeous, high-gloss barrier that resists impact and looks identical to a brand new factory installation. To help you understand the differences between your options, we compiled this quick comparison table:
| Factor | Our Refinishing Service | Full Replacement | Acrylic Liners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable | Extremely expensive | Moderate to high |
| Time to Complete | 4 to 6 hours | 3 to 5 days | 1 to 2 days |
| Mess & Demolition | None | Severe dust and noise | Minimal |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 years | 20+ years | 5 to 10 years |
Which means you get to keep your heavy, high-quality vintage tub while avoiding the headache of hiring plumbers, drywallers, and tile installers. On top of that, our advanced coatings cure incredibly fast. This lets you use your upgraded shower again in a matter of twenty-four to forty-eight hours.

Our friendly crew arrives fully equipped to handle any residential or rental property challenge with absolute precision.
Actually, many people do not realize that older fixtures are often built way better than modern plastic ones. Keeping your original cast iron piece preserves the character of your home while keeping heavy waste out of our local Arkansas landfills. It is a win-win situation for your wallet and the environment...
To begin, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheeting and tape to safeguard your walls, floors, and vanity. Then, we install a high-powered exhaust fan in the window to pull any paint fumes and overspray safely out of your home. This step ensures that your indoor air remains clean and breathable during the application.
After safety measures are set, we acid-etch the porcelain or ceramic tile surface to create microscopic pores. This step is crucial because it allows our specialized primer to lock deep into the old material. Without this chemical bond, any new paint would simply peel off like a bad sunburn within a few months.
Finally, we apply the glossy acrylic polyurethane topcoat in several thin, even layers. This meticulous method prevents runs, drips, and orange peel textures from ruining the final look. The result is a smooth, glass-like finish that feels wonderful to the touch and brings back that lost sense of luxury to your daily bath routine.
Caring for your upgraded surface is incredibly easy if you follow a few simple rules. You must avoid abrasive scouring powders, bleach, and scratchy green scrub pads at all costs. These harsh chemicals will dull the beautiful shine over time and shorten the lifespan of the protective coating.
Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or a gentle foaming bathroom cleaner with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple routine keeps the surface sparkling bright and prevents soap scum buildup without breaking a sweat. It is truly that simple to keep your bathroom looking like a million bucks for years to come.
Many homeowners call us because their fiberglass units have developed ugly cracks or soft, flexing bottoms. We can inject structural foam beneath the floor to reinforce those weak spots before we apply the new coating. This saves you from having to rip out the entire surround just because of a small localized failure.
Other times, we deal with severe rust stains around the drain area caused by leaky faucets and standing water. Our team grinds away the corroded metal, treats the area with a rust inhibitor, and fills it with waterproof compound. Once we apply our shiny topcoat, those rusty eyesores disappear completely.
Are you ready to stop hiding your bathroom behind a closed door? We are here to help you achieve the beautiful home you deserve without the ridiculous price tag. Our estimates are completely free, with absolutely no obligation or pushy sales tactics involved.
We will visit your home, inspect your current setup, and give you an honest, upfront price. This means you will know exactly what to expect before we ever turn on a machine or open a can of paint. Contact our friendly team today to schedule your convenient appointment and take the first step toward a brighter, cleaner bathroom!
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 Mitchellville, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
