A dull or chipped tub in Mount Vernon 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 into a landfill. You can actually save thousands of dollars by choosing to restore the glossy surface of your existing fixture instead of ripping it out. Our team of local specialists travels right to your door to provide a completely free estimate for this incredibly smart transformation.
First of all, remodeling projects usually turn into absolute nightmares very quickly. You think you are just buying a cheap new tub, but then the contractor discovers rotten subfloors and rusted pipes behind the wall. This extra work adds up fast and drains your wallet. On top of that, the whole process can take weeks of messy construction.
Fortunately, our specialized restoration process takes only a few hours of active work. We apply a high-performance chemical coating that bonds directly to your old cast iron or fiberglass. This means you get to keep your heavy, durable original fixture. The final result looks just like brand new porcelain from a showroom.
To help you compare the two options, we built a simple breakdown of what to expect:
| Project Factor | Full Replacement process | Surface Restoring Service |
|---|---|---|
| Typical Duration | One to two weeks of mess | Finished in a single day |
| Average Cost | Very expensive demolition fees | Super budget-friendly pricing |
| Plumbing Changes | Requires moving old pipes | No plumbing changes needed |
Which means you keep your hard-earned cash where it belongs. You also avoid having strangers trampling through your home for days on end. Our quick process preserves your sanity while delivering a stunning, shiny finish that lasts for years.
Many homeowners assume we just use a fancy can of spray paint from the local hardware store. Actually, our professional process relies on advanced molecular bonding agents and industrial-strength coatings. We start by stripping away old DIY paint jobs and soap scum using specialized cleaners. This step creates a perfectly clean slate so the new layers stick forever.
Next, we repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots with a waterproof polyester filler. After sanding everything smooth, we spray on a proprietary primer that acts like superglue for the topcoat. We then apply multiple coats of an acrylic urethane resin using professional HVLP spray equipment. This creates a non-porous barrier that resists impact and chemical stains.
Consequently, your fixture becomes incredibly easy to clean with basic mild soap. You will never have to scrub dirty grout lines or stained acrylic again. The non-porous nature of our glaze prevents mold and mildew from taking root. This translates to a much healthier environment for your family to wash up in.
Most old tubs are perfect candidates for our specialized restoration system. Whether you own an antique clawfoot model or a standard alcove unit, we can save it. Even outdated pink, green, or yellow fixtures from the 1970s can be transformed into clean, modern white.
However, we must point out that severely rusted metal with actual holes might be past saving. If the structural integrity of the basin is completely gone, resurfacing will not solve the issue. Luckily, our onsite inspection will determine the exact condition of your fixture before you spend a single dime.
We love working here in this historic community located along the beautiful Ohio River. Our service area covers the entire county seat of Posey County, which boasts a tight-knit population of 6,687 residents.

Many local households, with a median household income of around fifty-six thousand dollars, appreciate smart ways to save money on home maintenance. We are proud to serve everyone living in the 47620 ZIP code and surrounding rural areas. Living in Mount Vernon, Indiana, means dealing with hard water, which can quickly ruin a bathroom finish.
Our durable coatings are specially formulated to withstand the mineral buildup common in local water systems. Which means your new finish will stay bright white despite the tough local water conditions. We treat every home we visit with the utmost respect, as if it belonged to our own family.
Our friendly technician will arrive right on time with all the necessary gear. We start by masking off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheeting to catch any overspray. Then, we set up a powerful exhaust fan system to vent all fumes safely out of the nearest window.
This ventilation step is crucial because the bonding agents emit a very strong chemical odor during application. Once the spraying is complete, we remove all our trash and leave your bathroom completely clean. You only need to wait about twenty-four hours for the coating to cure before you can take a hot bath.
To keep your renewed basin looking spectacular, you must avoid abrasive cleaning powders and scratchy scrubbing pads. These harsh products will dull the glossy shine over time and shorten the lifespan of the finish. Instead, we recommend using a soft sponge and a gentle liquid dish soap.
On top of that, you should never leave wet washcloths or shampoo bottles sitting on the rim. Standing water trapped under bottles can eventually damage the bond of the new glaze. If you follow these simple guidelines, your restored fixture will remain beautiful for up to fifteen years.
This easy maintenance routine saves you hours of grueling weekend cleaning work. You can spend that extra free time enjoying the local parks or relaxing with your family. Investing in professional care today pays off in long-term peace of mind.
Now is the perfect time to finally do something about that embarrassing bathroom fixture. You do not have to live with a stained, scratchy tub that makes you feel dirty just looking at it. Our affordable service brings back the brilliant luster of your bathroom in less than a day.
We make the entire process completely stress-free from start to finish. Our team offers upfront pricing with absolutely no hidden fees or surprise upcharges. Contact us today to schedule your complimentary onsite consultation and take the first step toward a beautiful 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 Mount Vernon, 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.
