Buying a brand-new tub sounds easy until you start tearing down the walls.
First, you have to pay a plumber to disconnect the old drains and pipes.
Then, you realize the new unit does not even fit the old space, which leads to expensive drywall repairs.
Instead of dealing with that nightmare, we apply a fresh, durable acrylic coating directly over your existing fixture.
This clever process saves you a mountain of cash and hours of clean-up time.
We carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly scratches before we apply our bonding agents.
Consequently, your old cast iron or fiberglass piece gets a glossy, glass-like finish that lasts for years.
You get a beautiful, clean space to soak in without the massive headache of a construction zone.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple guide to show the differences.
| Feature | Our Restoration Service | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in a single afternoon | Can take several days or even weeks |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal, we protect your whole bathroom | Tons of drywall dust and debris |
First, we clean the old surface with specialized industrial cleaners to remove decades of soap scum and mineral deposits.
This step is crucial because even a tiny bit of leftover body oil can ruin the bond.
After that, we patch up any cracks or imperfections with a heavy-duty marine filler.
We want the foundation to be completely smooth before we do anything else.
Next, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old surface and the new topcoat.
Once that cures, we spray several layers of high-gloss polyurethane resin using professional spray equipment.
This creates a seamless, non-porous barrier that resists mold, mildew, and tough water stains.
Finally, we clean up our workspace and leave your bathroom looking sparkling clean and fresh.
Now, you might wonder if this process smells really strong while we work.
To keep your family safe, we use powerful exhaust fans to send any fumes right out the window.
This keeps the air inside your home clean and breathable while we work our magic.
You only have to wait about twenty-four hours before you can jump in and enjoy a hot bath.
Most homeowners choose a classic, bright white finish to make their small space look bigger and cleaner.
However, we also offer modern almond, biscuit, or custom stone-look finishes to match your unique style.
This lets you customize your bathroom design without buying a single piece of new tile.
Our durable coatings protect your investment and keep your bathroom looking modern for a very long time.
Remember that cheap DIY kits from the local hardware store simply cannot match our professional results.
Those store-bought roll-on paints often peel, yellow, or bubble after just a few months of use.
We use commercial-grade materials that fuse directly to your tub on a molecular level.
This ensures you get a beautiful, long-lasting shine that will not flake off when you clean it.
We feel proud to serve our small community of 2,211 residents who appreciate hard work and honest prices.

This means you will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals.
A simple wipe with a soft sponge and mild soap is all it takes to keep it shiny.

We treat your home just like we would treat our own mother's house.
Which means you can relax knowing your property is in safe, experienced hands.
To enjoy your gorgeous bathroom for decades, you just need to follow a few simple care rules.
Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh bleaching powders that can scratch the glossy topcoat.
Instead, use gentle liquid dish soaps or natural vinegar solutions to wash away any daily grime.
This simple routine keeps the protective barrier intact and preserves that beautiful, deep shine.
Also, make sure you fix any leaky faucets quickly so water does not drip constantly in one spot.
Over time, a steady drip can wear down even the strongest protective coatings.
Using a soft bath mat without suction cups also helps protect the bottom of the tub from peeling.
These small habits ensure your bathroom looks amazing 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 North Corbin, 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.
