A dull or chipped tub in Myrtle Beach 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.
Are you tired of staring at that chipped and stained basin every single morning? You can transform your outdated wash area into a bright oasis without breaking the bank or dealing with messy construction work.
Maybe your porcelain unit has seen better days and now shows those nasty yellow stains that never seem to go away. These ugly marks and deep scratches make your whole room feel dirty even after you spend hours scrubbing with harsh chemicals. By choosing to renew the finish, you save a ton of cash compared to pulling everything out and starting from zero. This process gives you the chance to pick a crisp white or a modern color that fits your style perfectly. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface that is way easier to keep clean and sparkling.
Furthermore, consider the headache of ripping out heavy cast iron or fiberglass units. You usually end up damaging your wall tiles and plumbing lines when you try to force a change. By keeping the original structure, you avoid all that drama and keep your home in one piece. This saves you so much time and keeps your stress levels low throughout the whole project. Plus, the materials used today are super durable and can last for many years if you take care of them right.
Initially, the surface gets a deep clean to strip away all the soap scum and old grime. Technicians use special acids and heavy-duty cleaners to make sure the base is perfectly prepped for the new layer. Without this step, the finish would just peel off in a few weeks, which is exactly what we want to avoid. You get a solid foundation that holds the new material tight for a long time. This attention to detail makes sure your investment stays looking sharp and fresh for years to come.
Subsequently, the team repairs any chips, cracks, or rust spots that have developed over the years. They use high-quality fillers to smooth out every single imperfection so the surface feels brand new to the touch. This means you do not have to worry about water seeping into cracks and causing rot underneath your unit. After the patching, they apply a bonding agent that acts like glue for the final coat. Everything is designed to create a strong seal that protects your investment from daily wear and tear.
Living in a place like Myrtle Beach, South Carolina means the air can be pretty humid. This moisture often attacks your bathroom fixtures and makes them prone to mold and rust faster than in dry climates. By having a pro seal your unit, you stop that water from getting into the pores of the material. This keeps your space feeling fresh and prevents those annoying problems that come with aging hardware. It is a really smart way to keep your house in top shape without spending a fortune.
With a population of 31,783, this area sees a lot of vacation rentals and busy family homes. Many people here want to keep their properties looking nice for guests or just for themselves. Since the median household income is around $40,525, spending thousands on a full remodel just does not make sense for most folks. By choosing to refresh your existing fixture, you get that high-end look without the massive price tag. It allows you to put your money toward other improvements around your home.
Usually, trying to do this yourself with a kit from the hardware store ends in disaster. Those cheap sprays often start peeling within a month because they lack the industrial-strength bond needed for a wet environment. Pros use specialized spray equipment that creates a smooth and even coat every single time. This ensures you get a professional finish that looks like it came straight from the factory. You get the peace of mind knowing the work is done right the first time.
| Feature | Full Replacement | Professional Surface Renewal | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Expensive | Affordable | |
| Time | Weeks of work | One or two days | |
| Mess | High amount of debris | Clean and tidy | |
| Result | New unit | Like-new surface |
When you look at this table, the choice becomes pretty clear for most homeowners. Replacement involves plumbing, carpentry, and tile work which adds up fast. You might find yourself living in a construction zone for way too long. Conversely, our method lets you use your bathroom again in just a day or two. This is the ultimate way to get maximum value while keeping your daily routine moving along smoothly.
Basically, if your unit is structurally sound, it is a perfect candidate for this service. Even if it looks terrible right now, the material underneath is often still very strong. We see many cast iron units from decades ago that are much better than the cheap plastic ones sold today. These old units just need a bit of love to look stunning again. A quick inspection lets us see if there are any major structural issues that need fixing before we start the coating process.
On top of that, you can change the color of your entire bathroom just by altering the shade of your tub. Maybe you want to switch from a dated almond color to a clean, bright white that makes the whole room pop. This is a very popular request that instantly adds a sense of modern ease to your home. You will be amazed at how much bigger and brighter your bathroom looks with a fresh coat of quality material. It is like getting a brand new room without the heavy lifting.

You can reach out to request a free quote whenever you are ready to see what we can do. We come out to your property, look at the project, and give you a clear price with no hidden surprises.

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 Myrtle Beach, 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.
