A dull or chipped tub in Old Jefferson 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.
Maybe your old tub looks pretty rough these days. Between the ugly stains and that weird outdated color from decades ago, taking a shower probably feels less like a spa day and more like a trip back in time. Fortunately, you do not have to spend a fortune on a messy demolition to get a clean, shiny surface again.
Our local crew specializes in reviving those worn-out fixtures right in your home. We bring all the specialized tools to your doorstep to spray on a durable, glossy new finish that looks brand new. This smart choice saves you thousands of dollars compared to tearing out your old cast iron or steel tub.
If you want to transform your bathroom fast, we are ready to help today. You can easily request a free estimate from our team to see how affordable this quick transformation really is. Let us take a closer look at how this process works and why it makes so much sense for your home.
First, we clean the entire area with heavy-duty prep solutions to strip away years of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures that the new bonding agents stick perfectly to the original porcelain or fiberglass. Without this deep preparation, the new finish would just peel off in a matter of months.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks using specialized fillers. We sand these spots completely flat so you can never tell there was ever any damage there. This meticulous attention to detail is what separates a amateur DIY kit from a truly professional finish.
After that, we spray multiple layers of a high-tech primer followed by a beautiful, durable acrylic topcoat. This advanced material cures into a hard, non-porous surface that resists stains and looks incredibly bright. You get a gorgeous finish that feels incredibly smooth to the touch and shines like new glass.
Choosing to update your existing fixture saves you from the nightmare of dealing with dusty drywall dust and noisy plumbing work. Replacing a tub often means ripping out beautiful wall tiles and disturbing old pipes behind the walls. Our clean process avoids all that chaos completely and keeps your daily routine running smoothly.
On top of that, you will save a massive amount of time. A full bathroom remodel can easily drag on for weeks, leaving you without a usable shower. We usually finish our entire application process in just a single day, meaning you can use your beautiful bath again very quickly.
To help you compare your options, we put together this simple guide to show why restoring your current setup is often the smartest move.
| Comparison Factor | Full Tub Replacement | Professional Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | 3 to 7 days of messy construction | Only 4 to 8 hours of clean work |
| Total Project Cost | Very expensive due to plumbing and tile work | Highly affordable and budget-friendly |
| Mess and Dust Level | Extremely high throughout the home | Very minimal with localized ventilation |
| Lifespan of New Surface | 15 to 20 years with proper care | 10 to 15 years with simple maintenance |

When our friendly technician arrives at your home, we start by carefully masking off your floors, walls, and vanity to protect them from any overspray. We set up an industrial exhaust fan with a flexible hose out the nearest window to draw out all fumes and dust. This step keeps your indoor air clean and comfortable while we work.
Then, we perform our multi-step chemical cleaning and etching process to prepare the old surface. We apply our proprietary bonding agents, which act like a super-strong glue between the old tub and the new coating. Finally, we spray on the glossy topcoat using professional-grade HVLP equipment for a flawless, factory-like finish.
Once we finish spraying, we carefully remove all our masking tape and clean up our workspace completely. We leave you with a sparkling bathroom and a set of simple care instructions to keep your new finish looking perfect. You will be amazed at how much brighter and cleaner your entire bathroom feels.
Caring for your newly restored surface is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, worn-out tub. Because the new coating is completely non-porous, dirt and soap scum cannot grip onto it easily. This means you can say goodbye to harsh bleach and abrasive scrubbing powders forever.
Instead, you just need to wipe down the surface with a mild, non-abrasive liquid soap and a soft sponge. This gentle cleaning routine keeps the finish incredibly shiny and prevents any micro-scratches from dulling the surface over time. A quick rinse with warm water after your shower also helps prevent soap buildup.
We also suggest avoiding bath mats with suction cups on the bottom because they can damage the bond of the new finish over time. If you want a non-slip surface, just let us know before we start, and we can easily apply a permanent slip-resistant texture to the floor of your tub during the process.

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 Old Jefferson, 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.
