A dull or chipped tub in Mountainboro 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.

Many homeowners confuse this specialized resurfacing process with simple painting, but the two methods could not be more different. We use industrial-grade bonding agents and durable topcoats that fuse chemically with your original cast iron, steel, or fiberglass basin. This creates an incredibly tough barrier that resists chipping, peeling, and daily wear for many years to come.
First, we meticulously clean the area with specialized solutions to strip away old soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. After repairing any deep chips or rust spots, we apply a proprietary primer that ensures the new finish sticks permanently. Finally, we spray multiple layers of a high-gloss acrylic coating to deliver a factory-like sheen.
This advanced method works wonderfully on various materials, including classic clawfoot tubs, standard recessed basins, and even surrounding wall tiles. Because we do not rip out the old unit, you avoid damaging your floors, drywall, and plumbing connections. It is the ultimate shortcut to a pristine bathroom without the typical renovation chaos.
If you have ever priced out a full bathroom remodel, you know how quickly the labor costs can spiral out of control. Getting a brand-new fixture through narrow doorways often requires tearing down walls and replacing perfectly good tile work. Our on-site restoration service bypasses all of those extra expenses while delivering the exact same aesthetic result.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick look at how these two paths stack up:
| Factor | Our Refinishing Service | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | 3 to 5 hours | 3 to 7 days |
| Mess and Dust Level | Very low and contained | Extremely high dust and debris |
| Plumbing Modifications | None required | Often requires new pipes and drains |
| Total Cost Comparison | Highly affordable | Can easily run into thousands |
On top of the financial savings, you also save a massive amount of time and personal sanity. You do not have to live in a construction zone or invite a rotating crew of strangers into your home for weeks on end. We slip in, work our magic, clean up after ourselves, and leave you with a sparkling surface.
We love serving our tight-knit community here in Mountainboro, Alabama, where homeowners appreciate honest work and real value. This lovely area in Etowah County, with its cozy population of just 338 residents, has a unique charm that we are proud to support. Our neighbors work hard for their median household income, which is why we keep our prices fair and transparent.
Whether you live near the main highway or tucked away in the local 35954 ZIP code area, we come right to your doorstep. We understand the specific mineral content of the local water supply and how it can slowly dull your bathroom fixtures over time. Our coatings are specifically formulated to withstand these local conditions, ensuring your shine lasts for the long haul.
By working with a nearby crew, you get personalized service from people who treat your home like their own. We do not believe in high-pressure sales tactics or hidden fees that pop up at the last second. We simply offer top-tier craftsmanship that helps you enjoy your home to the absolute fullest.
Once we finish our work, keeping that brilliant shine alive is surprisingly simple if you follow a few basic rules. You must avoid abrasive cleaners, bleaching agents, and steel wool pads, which can dull the protective topcoat over time. Instead, a gentle wipe-down with mild dish soap and a soft sponge keeps the surface looking immaculate.
Another great tip is to fix any leaky faucets quickly to prevent standing water from constantly dripping on the same spot. This simple habit protects the bond between the old material and the new coating, extending its lifespan significantly. With just a tiny bit of care, your restored basin will look gorgeous for up to a decade or more.
We always walk you through these easy maintenance steps before we pack up our tools and leave your home. Our goal is to ensure you feel completely confident in caring for your beautiful, updated space. If you ever have questions down the road, our friendly local team is always just a quick call away.

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 Mountainboro, 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.
