A dull or chipped tub in North Andrews Gardens 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.
Your old tub looks pretty rough these days. Between the ugly stains and that weird 1970s color, taking a bath feels more like a chore than a relaxing break.
Fortunately, you do not have to tear out your entire bathroom just to get a clean, modern look. Our local crew specializing in surface refinishing can make your existing setup look brand new in just a few hours.
By choosing this smart update, you will save thousands of dollars compared to a messy remodel. We come right to your home in Broward County to handle the whole process from start to finish.
Actually, this process is a highly specialized chemical bonding method. We apply a durable new coating directly over your worn-out cast iron or fiberglass fixture.
This means we do not touch your plumbing or break your precious tiles. Instead, we prep the area, repair any deep scratches, and spray on a high-gloss polyurethane acrylic finish.
Which means you get a shiny, bright surface that looks identical to a brand new installation. The entire job wraps up fast, usually within a single afternoon.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to a full replacement, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Feature | Our Refinishing Method | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable, budget-friendly | Extremely expensive |
| Time to Complete | Usually 4 to 6 hours | Several days or weeks of mess |
| Permits Needed | None required at all | Often requires city approval |
| Expected Lifespan | 10 to 15 years with proper care | Decades, but at a massive upfront cost |
Living in this beautiful part of the Sunshine State means enjoying your weekends instead of dealing with contractors throwing drywall dust everywhere. Our neighborhood has about 9,600 residents who appreciate smart, cost-effective home improvements that keep their properties looking sharp.
Since the median household income here is around sixty-five thousand dollars, saving money on home repairs is always a top priority. Why waste your hard-earned cash on a full demolition when you can get the same sparkling result for a fraction of the price?
On top of that, local homes in the 33309 and 33334 ZIP codes often feature classic layouts where replacing a tub means destroying vintage wall tile. Our specialized protective coating preserves your original bathroom character while removing the ugly, faded surfaces.
First of all, you avoid the massive headache of hiring plumbers, tile setters, and trash haulers. We act as a one-stop shop, arriving with all the professional equipment needed to complete the task safely.
This lets you use your shower again in just twenty-four hours. You will love how easy the new non-porous finish is to wipe clean, requiring no harsh chemicals or intense scrubbing.
Additionally, keeping your old cast iron unit is great for the environment because it prevents heavy waste from piling up in our local Florida landfills. It is a win-win situation for both your wallet and the planet.
First, we clean the surface with industrial strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This step is crucial because the new layer will not stick to a dirty foundation.
Next, we repair any chips, cracks, or rust spots using a waterproof polyester filler. We sand these spots completely flat so the final result feels perfectly smooth to the touch.
After that, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent that acts like a super-strong glue between the old porcelain and the new topcoat. This chemical bond ensures the surface will not peel or bubble over time.
Initially, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to protect your vanity, floors, and walls. We also set up a heavy-duty exhaust fan with a flexible window duct to pull all fumes out of your home.
Then, we spray several thin, even layers of our high-tech synthetic porcelain coating using professional HVLP spray equipment. This careful spraying technique prevents runs and drips, leaving a factory-like gloss.
Finally, we remove all our masking tape, clean up our workspace, and leave you with care instructions to keep your tub looking pristine. You simply need to let the material cure before enjoying your first warm soak.
Some people think this is just a fancy paint job you can do yourself with a cheap kit from a big-box store. However, DIY kits use weak epoxy paint that quickly turns yellow, brittle, and starts peeling within a few months.
Our commercial-grade compounds require professional ventilation masks and precise mixing ratios to cure properly. We use industrial materials designed to withstand hot water and daily wear for over a decade.
Another myth is that refinished surfaces look fake or cheap. In reality, guests will not be able to tell the difference between your restored tub and a brand-new acrylic model.
To keep the shine bright, you should avoid abrasive cleaners like bleach, Comet, or steel wool. Instead, use mild dish soap or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners along with a soft sponge.
This simple habit prevents micro-scratches that can dull the surface over time. Also, remember to fix leaky faucets quickly because constant dripping can eventually wear down any finish.
Moreover, try not to leave wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting on the ledge for weeks. Letting the area dry out between uses ensures your beautiful finish lasts as long as possible.

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 North Andrews Gardens, 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.
