All over Pamlico 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.
Over time your tired bathroom basin starts looking pretty nasty with ugly stains and rough chips. Fortunately our local crew completely restores that dull finish fast without replacing the whole unit. Right now you can get a quick estimate for zero dollars to save huge money on your home remodel!
Honestly everybody hates dealing with massive mess during a big home project. Fortunately refinishing your old heavy washbasin brings back that dazzling shine without ripping out your walls. Consequently you save tons of cash while avoiding terrible construction dust all over your house.
Likewise those old cast iron tubs hold heat way better than new cheap plastic ones. Plus our specialized coating locks in a smooth glossy top layer that feels totally luxurious. Therefore you get a sparkling clean space to soak without paying thousands to some pushy retail supplier.
Surprisingly most folks think they gotta throw away a scratched basin when the color looks gross. In reality our step by step coating technique fills every deep scratch and covers stubborn yellow stains completely. As a result your entire room looks modern again in just one single day of work.
Upgrading your house shouldn't mean taking out a second mortgage or waiting weeks for contractors. Since our friendly team lives right here around this beautiful coastal region near the Pamlico River, we always treat your home like our own. Also local folks appreciate honest hard work without any crazy hidden fees on the bill.
Actually doing this job right takes serious practice and steady hands. First we scrub away old soap scum using strong industrial cleaners. Then we apply high tech bonding agents so the fresh porcelain like finish sticks forever.
Besides looking awesome, this fresh layer makes cleaning your room ridiculously easy. Furthermore you won't have to scrub on your knees with harsh bleaching powders anymore. Because the new topcoat is super slick, dirt just slides right down the drain with plain water.
| Project Option | Total Cost | Completion Time | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Demolition | Very High | 1 to 2 Weeks | Extreme Dust and Noise |
| Professional Refinishing | Super Low | Single Day | Zero Heavy Mess |
To be fair, ripping out an old fixture sounds easy on those fancy TV shows. But actually you end up breaking floor tiles, smashing drywall, and hiring expensive plumbers to move rusty pipes. On the other hand surface renewal leaves all your existing plumbing perfectly untouched.
Additionally the financial difference is absolutely massive for any family budget. While a total bathroom tear out drains your bank account real quick, our topcoat service costs a tiny fraction of that price. So you keep your hard earned savings for fun stuff like family vacations or tasty dinners.
Naturally you might wonder if a sprayed finish actually lasts long enough to be worth it. Happily our heavy duty acrylic polymers are engineered to handle daily hot showers without peeling or blistering. Thus your shiny basin stays pretty and tough for many years down the road.
Initially we protect your entire room by laying down heavy drop cloths everywhere. Next we fix all those annoying tiny cracks and deep chipped spots using specialized structural fillers. Eventually the entire surface becomes completely flat and ready for the main coating spray.
Thereafter we set up strong exhaust fans to blow any weird chemical smells right out your window. After that we apply multiple thin layers of high grade liquid synthetic resin with high pressure tools. Finally a durable clear gloss coat goes on top to lock in that gorgeous shine.
Basically the whole detailed job takes about four to six hours from start to finish. Then you just let the fresh chemical bonds cure up tight for a short day or two. Pretty soon you are hopping into a stunning white basin that looks like it came straight off a showroom floor...
Understandably those cheap boxed store repair kits look pretty tempting when you want to save a quick buck. Sadly those DIY paints usually peel off in gross sticky strips after just a couple hot baths. Because consumer kits lack strong etching acids, the new paint simply cannot grab onto slippery old enamel properly.
Furthermore rolling paint on by hand leaves ugly brush marks and thick bumpy drips all over your tub. Instead our commercial grade sprayers apply an ultra smooth mist that cures into a seamless factory fresh shell. Therefore calling our trained crew saves you from a massive headache and extra cleanup costs later.
Obviously you want a reliable job that stands up to kids tossing plastic toys around during bath time. Thankfully our thick commercial compound cures way harder than any store bought paint ever could. Which means you won't see annoying flaking or bubbled spots after a few months of normal use.
Living down here in eastern North Carolina means dealing with salty air and tough well water stains that wreck plumbing fixtures fast. With a population near thirteen thousand people spread across historic towns like Bayboro, Oriental, and Alliance, local folks value practical home solutions. Whether your house sits in ZIP codes like 28515, 28571, or 28509, keeping your place looking nice boosts your total property value significantly.
Even though the local median household income sits right around fifty two thousand dollars, nobody wants to waste money on overpriced remodeling crews. By choosing our smart renewal method, you protect your wallet while upgrading your home's resale appeal instantly. Indeed a clean bright bathroom impresses buyers much more than an outdated pink or avocado green basin from fifty years ago.
Likewise coastal humidity can make old worn enamel extra chalky and hard to keep clean. Happily our non porous glossy barrier stops mildew and mold from taking root in rough microscopic pores. Consequently your whole family enjoys a much cleaner space without constantly inhaling nasty chemicals while scrubbing.
Naturally caring for your fresh glossy finish requires just a few tiny changes to your normal cleaning routine. Mainly you just ditch those abrasive scouring pads and gritty bleaching pastes that scratch soft glazes. Instead a quick wipe down with a mild liquid dish soap keeps the shine looking brand new.
Similarly avoid dropping heavy metal tools or sharp objects directly onto the fresh shiny resin. If you happen to use a bath mat, simply grab one without harsh suction cups that dig into top layers. Consequently your smooth bright basin stays completely free of dull spots or deep scratches.
All in all spending two minutes rinsing your tub after a bath keeps soap scum from building up. Thus you enjoy a spotless, glossy washbasin without spending hours on your hands and knees scrubbing away. Truly it is the easiest low maintenance upgrade you can make to your entire house this year.
Frequently folks ask us if we can change the ugly color of their old sixties fixture. Absolutely we can turn those weird outdated mustard yellow or peach tubs into bright sparkling white! So your entire room instantly feels twice as big and much more modern without buying new hardware.
Another common question is whether the fresh chemical smell lingers in your home for days afterward. Thanks to our industrial ventilation fans, almost all the fumes get blown outside during the actual spraying process. Therefore any faint residual odor disappears completely within just a few short hours after we pack up our tools.
Lastly people always want to know how soon they can jump in and take a warm relaxing bath. Usually the advanced high tech resin cures totally hard within twenty four to thirty six hours maximum. Afterwards you are free to enjoy your gorgeous, smooth tub without worrying about damaging the fresh seal.
Now is definitely the absolute best time to fix up that dynamic home space you use every single day. Why keep looking at embarrassing rust rings, nasty chipped edges, or weird discolored patches on your basin?

Soon enough you will be relaxing in a gorgeous, factory shiny tub that looks absolutely brand new!
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.
