A dull or chipped tub in Montgomery 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.
Maybe you look at your bathroom every single morning and just sigh at those ugly, outdated colors from decades ago. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars tearing out your entire tub and walls just to get a fresh, clean look. Our specialized local service restores the bright shine of your existing tub right in place, saving you time and a massive headache.
Actually, we can make those chipped, stained, or simply depressing surfaces look brand new again in just a few hours. This means you can keep your original heavy-duty fixture while completely transforming the vibe of your daily routine. By choosing this smart update, you avoid the noisy chaos of a full-scale remodel while still achieving a gorgeous, glossy finish that lasts.
Why spend your hard-earned money on expensive contractors who will leave your home in a dusty mess for weeks? Instead, you can contact us today for a free estimate and discover how affordable a beautiful bathroom transformation can really be.
First, let us talk about what this specialized process actually involves because many people confuse it with simple painting. We do not just slap a coat of retail paint over your old fixture and hope for the best. Indeed, the secret lies in a meticulous chemical bonding process that fuses a durable, high-gloss liquid acrylic coating onto your worn-out basin.
Initially, our technicians clean the old surface with specialized industrial prep solutions to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. After that, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using high-grade structural fillers. Once the foundation is perfectly smooth, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor for the new topcoat.
Finally, we spray several layers of advanced acrylic polyurethane coating using high-tech, low-pressure equipment to ensure an incredibly smooth, mirror-like finish. This creates a non-porous barrier that resists future stains and makes cleaning an absolute breeze for you. The result is a sparkling, brilliant surface that feels premium and looks completely identical to a brand new factory installation.
First of all, the financial savings are absolutely massive when you choose to renew your current setup instead of ripping it out. If you decide to replace a built-in tub, you often have to destroy the surrounding tiles, move plumbing lines, and pay disposal fees. Consequently, a simple replacement job can easily snowball into a major construction project costing thousands of dollars.
On top of that, older tubs are often made of incredibly sturdy cast iron or high-quality steel that is much better than modern plastic replacements. By preserving your heavy-duty original fixture, you retain that solid, premium feel underfoot while updating its look to match modern design trends. Furthermore, our process takes less than a day, meaning you can start using your refreshed space almost immediately.
Did you know that thousands of heavy, non-biodegradable bathroom fixtures end up in local landfills every single year? By choosing to restore your existing setup, you actively reduce construction waste and keep your home much greener. This eco-friendly decision prevents unnecessary manufacturing, transport, and disposal of heavy materials while giving you the exact same visual upgrade.
To help you see the bigger picture, we have put together a quick comparison of what you can expect from different approach paths. This table clearly outlines why our specialized surface renewal is the smart choice for most homeowners.
| Project Factor | Complete Replacement | Plastic Tub Liners | Our Professional Restoration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High ($3,000 - $8,000+) | Moderate ($1,500 - $3,500) | Highly Affordable (Fraction of replacement) |
| Time to Complete | 1 to 2 weeks of messy construction | Several weeks for custom fitting | Just 4 to 8 hours on-site |
| Durability | High, but depends on material | Risk of water trapping and mold | Excellent with proper basic care |
| Mess & Dust | Extreme drywall and tile dust | Minimal, but requires adhesive | Very low, fully contained work area |
As you can see, our process offers the absolute best balance of speed, affordability, and beautiful results. This lets you enjoy a premium look without the financial stress or the weeks of waiting around for plumbers to finish their work.
Naturally, you might wonder about the smell and the overall setup when we come to do the work. We take your home comfort very seriously, which is why we always set up professional exhaust ventilation systems during the process. These high-powered fans draw any fumes directly out of your window, keeping the rest of your living space smelling clean and safe.
Additionally, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom using protective plastic sheeting and painter's tape to protect your floors, vanity, and walls from any overspray. Our technicians treat your property with the utmost respect, ensuring we leave the workspace even cleaner than we found it. Once we pack up our gear, the only thing left behind is a gleaming, gorgeous fixture that looks like it was just delivered from the showroom.
After we finish, you simply need to let the new surface cure for a short period before turning on the tap. We will walk you through the simple care guidelines, which mostly involve avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners that scratch the finish. By using gentle dish soaps or mild spray cleaners, you will keep that incredible shine looking pristine for many years to come.

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 Montgomery, 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.
