All over Perquimans 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.

To start with, many people confuse this specialized process with simple painting, but it is actually a highly technical bonding procedure. First, we meticulously clean the old basin with industrial-grade prep solutions to strip away years of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. After that, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots so the foundation is completely smooth.
Once the prep work is complete, we apply a proprietary chemical bonding agent that fuses the new finish to the original material. Consequently, this creates an incredibly strong molecular bond that prevents peeling or bubbling over time. Then, we spray several coats of a high-tech acrylic urethane topcoat to seal the deal.
This durable layer cures into a hard, glossy shell that looks exactly like brand-new porcelain. For this reason, you get the absolute best of both worlds because you keep your sturdy old fixture while enjoying a fresh, modern aesthetic. Our local crews take immense pride in achieving a mirror-like sheen on every single project we complete.
To help you compare your options, here is a quick look at how our custom restoration service stacks up against a traditional bathroom remodel:
| Feature | Our Custom Refinishing | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, saving up to 70% | High, due to plumbing and tile work |
| Project Time | Completed in just a few hours | Several days or even weeks of mess |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with proper care | Long-lasting but very disruptive to install |
| Mess & Dust | Minimal, with active ventilation used | Extreme, with drywall and tile demolition |
Because we live and work right here in the coastal plains of the Tar Heel State, we understand the unique challenges of local humidity and well water. For example, high iron content in local water systems can leave ugly orange stains on older, porous finishes. By sealing your fixture with our non-porous coating, you stop those stubborn stains from penetrating the surface ever again.
If you live in this lovely rural county of about 13,000 residents, you know how important it is to find reliable, down-to-earth service providers. Whether your home is nestled near the historic shores of the Perquimans River, located in Hertford, or situated in Winfall, we travel directly to your doorstep. We regularly service properties across the 27944 and 27985 ZIP codes, bringing top-tier craftsmanship to our neighbors.
With a local median household income of around $53,000, we know that spending money wisely on home improvements is a top priority for families here. Therefore, we price our services competitively so you do not have to break the bank to get a beautiful bathroom. You get to enjoy premium cosmetic restoration that looks like a million bucks while keeping your hard-earned money in your pocket.
Before we even turn on our spray equipment, we spend a significant amount of time protecting the rest of your bathroom. Specifically, we mask off the surrounding walls, floors, and vanity with heavy-duty paper and plastic sheeting to block any overspray. Furthermore, we set up a powerful exhaust fan system to draw any fumes and dust out of your home through the nearest window.
After protecting your space, we carefully inspect the drain area and overflow plate for any hidden corrosion. Next, we mask these metal parts or remove them entirely to ensure the new coating wraps cleanly around the edges. This meticulous attention to detail is what separates a professional, long-lasting job from a cheap DIY kit that peels in a month.
Once the prep and bonding stages are finished, we spray the topcoat in multiple thin, even passes. As a result of this careful technique, the material flows out perfectly flat without any unsightly runs, sags, or brush marks. Finally, we clean up our workspace, pack up our gear, and leave your bathroom looking incredibly bright and inviting.
To keep your glossy new surface looking spectacular, you simply need to avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh scrubbing pads. On the contrary, using mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner with a soft microfiber cloth is all it takes to wipe away grime. This easy maintenance routine keeps the protective layer intact and preserves that brilliant shine for a decade or more.
Another important tip is to fix leaky faucets promptly because dripping water can eventually wear down even the toughest finishes. Similarly, avoiding the use of suction-cup bath mats will prevent the coating from being pulled or stressed over time. By following these simple guidelines, you protect your investment and keep your bathroom looking pristine.
Indeed, throwing away a perfectly solid cast iron or steel wash basin simply because it is stained or outdated is a massive waste of resources. Since these heavy fixtures are incredibly difficult to carry out of a home, contractors often have to smash them into pieces with sledgehammers. This violent process can easily damage your doorways, walls, and expensive floor tiles.
By choosing our on-site surface glazing service, you completely bypass this destructive phase of home improvement. On top of that, you keep hundreds of pounds of heavy metal and masonry debris out of our local North Carolina landfills. It is a green, sustainable choice that feels good and looks absolutely fantastic.
Ultimately, you get a gorgeous, clean bathroom with zero stress, zero landfill waste, and zero headaches. We make the entire experience incredibly smooth from the moment we arrive to the final reveal. You can count on our friendly team to treat your home with the utmost care and respect.
Perhaps you have been putting off this project because you dread the thought of dealing with pushy salespeople or complicated pricing. Rest assured, we offer a completely free, no-obligation estimate where we look at your fixture and give you an honest, upfront price. We explain exactly what needs to be done and answer any questions you might have about the process.
This means you can make an informed decision without any pressure or hidden fees added to your final bill. Whether you have a clawfoot tub that needs a historic restoration or a standard fiberglass shower unit that needs a color change, we have you covered. Our goal is to make your home improvement journey as pleasant and rewarding as possible.
Do not spend another day staring at a dingy, stained, or outdated bathroom fixture when a beautiful solution is just a phone call away.

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.
