All over Oconee County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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.
Actually, taking a look at your worn out tub every morning can really ruin your day. Fortunately, getting a smooth factory finish again does not mean you gotta tear out your walls. Instead, our specialized surface restoration gives your bathroom a massive upgrade fast.
Honestly, taking out an old fixture creates an absolute mess inside your home. Suddenly, you are dealing with broken tiles, dust everywhere, and huge bills. Plus, local homeowners in Oconee County, Georgia, GA, USA know how fast demo costs add up.
Furthermore, fixing up what you already have saves tons of cash. Basically, our process applies a fresh resin coating over your existing basin. Which means you get a bright shine for a tiny fraction of replacement costs.
First, we come in and clean off all old soap scum and grime. Naturally, standard household cleaners just will not prep the surface right. So, we use industrial chemical strippers to get down to the bare material.
Next, any tiny cracks or annoying chips get filled in real tight. To be fair, I once dropped a heavy wrench into my own cast iron tub years ago. Fortunately, specialized filler compounds make those ugly dents vanish completely... just like magic!
Then, we put down a sticky bonding agent so the topcoat stays put. Without this step, your shiny new coat would peel right off like a bad sunburn. Therefore, proper prep work guarantees long lasting durability for your family home.
Now, we spray multiple layers of advanced aliphatic polyurethane finish. Indeed, this high tech material cures into an rock hard shield against future stains. Consequently, your washing space looks totally sleek and surprisingly easy to clean.
Additionally, this top layer resists harsh chemicals and water damage amazingly well. Besides, you will not have to scrub on your knees for hours anymore. By the way, a quick wipe with mild soap keeps it sparkling like new.
Let us compare what actually happens during a standard bathroom overhaul. To start, demolition takes days and leaves your main washroom totally useless. On top of that, hiring plumbers and tile installers drains your bank account fast.
| Project Type | Average Time Needed | Mess Level | Overall Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Tub Replacement | 3 to 7 Days | Very High | Minimal |
| Surface Spray Renewal | 4 to 6 Hours | Zero Mess | Up to 75 Percent |
Clearly, opting for a spray restoration saves you time and headache.
By contrast, our complete job takes less than a single day to finish up.
Which means you can take a nice soak again by the very next evening.
Remember, original cast iron bases installed decades ago hold heat exceptionally well.
Sadly, cheap modern plastic tubs feel flimsy and cool down way too fast.
So, keeping your heavy solid basin is actually a much smarter long term move.
Granted, fixing up real estate is a top priority for smart property owners around here. Actually, families living near zip code areas like 30677 and 30622 take great pride in their spaces. Which means a clean updated washroom helps a lot if you ever decide to list your house.
Likewise, renters and buyers judge a place instantly by looking at the plumbing fixtures. Indeed, rust rings and chipped enamel instantly give off a dirty impression. Luckily, a quick cosmetic refresh turns that depressing room into a total selling point.
Even better, higher income neighborhoods around area 30606 appreciate fine craftsmanship without wasteful spending. Of course, spending thousands on new construction when refinishing works is just silly. So, saving money while getting top end style makes complete financial sense.
Basically, hard water deposits leach into old enamel and ruin the color over time. However, our topcoat seals off those tiny porous holes for good. Thus, rust spots stop spreading and your basin keeps its pristine shade.
Also, we fix hairline cracks that cause unseen water leaks under your floorboards. Otherwise, hidden leaks lead to nasty rot and expensive subfloor repairs later on. Therefore, sealing the surface protects your entire home structure from bad water damage.
Naturally, plenty of DIY kits sell big promises down at the local hardware store. Although, cheap paint rollers leave terrible streak marks and start peeling in months. Truly, getting a smooth glossy finish requires expensive airless spray equipment and expert hands.
Furthermore, toxic fumes require real safety gear and proper exhaust ventilation fans. Because of this, trying to do it yourself can expose your whole home to bad odors. Instead, let trained technicians handle the heavy lifting safely and correctly.
In fact, proper ventilation setup keeps your home smelling fresh throughout the whole process. Besides, our custom equipment pulls fumes out through the nearest window cleanly. So, your kids and pets stay safe while we work inside your home.
Surprisingly, you do not have to stick with basic plain white if you want something different. Instead, choose warm biscuit shades, soft gray tones, or classic bright white finishes. Which means matching your current wall tiles or vanity tops becomes super simple.
On top of that, we can change outdated 1970s pink or avocado green fixtures completely. Finally, throw away those ugly bath mats that hide original colored tubs underneath. Suddenly, your old room looks like a modern luxury spa retreat.
Now, caring for your renewed surface requires very little effort from you. First off, stop using abrasive bleaching powders or scratchy wire scrub pads. Because those harsh items dull the shiny clear coat over time.
Rather, use gentle liquid dish soap or non abrasive foam bathroom spray. Actually, wiping the bottom dry after use prevents hard water spots from building up. Which means your basin stays shiny without any hard labor required.
In addition, fix any leaky faucets promptly so water does not drip constantly. Although the finish is super durable, standing water for months can cause unnecessary wear. Consequently, quick plumbing fixes protect your newly coated surface for years to come.
To start, our technician arrives right on time with all necessary equipment ready. Then, we lay down heavy drop cloths to keep your floors totally clean. After that, the deep cleaning and etching process begins immediately.
Next, we tape off surrounding walls, fixtures, and floor trim carefully. This step prevents any overspray from getting on your prized vanity or tiles. Eventually, the actual spray spraying takes about an hour or two max.
Finally, we pack up our gear and leave your bathroom completely clean. Actually, we double check every inch to make sure the surface looks totally flawless. So, you are left with zero mess to deal with after we walk out the door.
Ultimately, taking action now stops minor surface rust from turning into major ruined metal. Besides, enjoying a clean pristine basin every single day improves your mood instantly. Why keep staring at ugly stains when an affordable solution is right here?

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, 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.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
