A dull or chipped tub in Pettus 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.
Staring at a dingy, stained tub every single morning can really ruin your mood before the day even starts. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars ripping out your entire plumbing setup just to get that clean, sparkling feeling back again. Our professional team comes right to your home to restore that old, worn-out surface to a brilliant, factory-like shine in just a few hours. This means you get to enjoy a gorgeous, fresh bathroom without the weeks of dust, noise, and crazy contractor bills.
Investing in this smart home upgrade saves you a mountain of cash compared to buying a brand-new replacement unit. On top of that, the entire process is surprisingly quick and leaves absolutely no messy drywall damage behind for you to fix. By choosing to renew what you already own, you also keep bulky old cast iron and fiberglass out of our local landfills. We make the entire experience completely stress-free by offering a totally free onsite evaluation to look over your fixture and explain exactly how we can make it look brand new.
Most folks do not realize that the dull, rough surface on their current tub is actually just worn-down glaze that has absorbed years of soap scum and hard water minerals. Over time, harsh chemical cleaners scratch this protective outer layer, which makes the material underneath porous and highly prone to deep staining. Our specialized process chemically bonds a brand-new, high-gloss protective coating directly onto your existing fixture. This advanced liquid acrylic material cures into an incredibly hard, non-porous barrier that resists future stains and wipes clean with minimal effort.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to traditional remodeling, let us look at the details below:
| Project Factors | Full Replacement | Our Specialty Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High (often $3,000+) | Extremely Affordable |
| Time to Complete | 3 to 7 days of construction | Just 4 to 6 hours |
| Mess & Demolition | Major dust and drywall damage | Virtually none |
| Lifespan | Long-term | 10 to 15 years with proper care |
Now, you might wonder if your specific setup is a good candidate for this specialized treatment. We regularly work on heavy antique cast iron clawfoot models, standard steel recessed tubs, and modern lightweight fiberglass shower surrounds. Even if your current setup has deep chips, ugly rust spots, or outdated 1970s colors, our premium bonding agents can completely transform it. This lets you customize the final look with a modern, bright white or clean almond finish that matches your current vanity and tile perfectly.
First, our skilled technician carefully preps your bathroom by masking off all your floors, walls, and fixtures to protect them from any overspray. After securing the work area, we use specialized ventilation equipment to safely pull any fumes out of your home while we work. Then, we apply a heavy-duty cleaning solution to strip away decades of built-up body oils, soap residue, and old mineral deposits. This critical deep clean ensures that the new glossy finish will adhere perfectly to the original substrate without any peeling later on.
Next, we meticulously repair any physical damage like rust pitting, deep scratches, or porcelain chips using a waterproof polyester filler. Once those repaired areas are sanded completely flat, we apply a proprietary chemical bonding agent that acts like a microscopic double-sided tape. This step is absolutely crucial because it creates a permanent molecular link between the old surface and our new high-tech coatings. After that, we spray multiple coats of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat using professional high-volume, low-pressure equipment for an incredibly smooth, mirror-like finish.
Finally, we carefully remove all the protective masking tape, clean up our workspace, and run a fresh bead of mildew-resistant silicone caulk around the edges. This attention to detail prevents water from seeping behind your newly sealed fixture and causing hidden mold issues down the road. Which means you can step back into your bathroom the very next day and marvel at a surface that looks like it was just delivered from the showroom. You will love how the light bounces off the smooth surface, giving your entire bathroom a bright, spacious feel.
Living in a tight-knit community means we treat every single customer like our neighbor, because you actually are. We proudly serve families throughout Bee County, including the lovely unincorporated area of Pettus, Texas, where hard work and honest prices still mean something. Whether you live near the local schools or along the highway in the 78146 ZIP code area, we bring our fully equipped mobile workshop straight to your driveway. With a local median household income of around $54,688, we know that our neighbors appreciate smart, cost-effective ways to maintain their property values without breaking the bank.
Our small-town population of just 386 residents means that word of mouth is everything, so we never cut corners on our prep work or materials. We use premium, commercial-grade compounds that you simply cannot buy in a standard home improvement store DIY kit. Those cheap retail paint-on kits often peel within a few months, leaving you with an even bigger, stickier mess to clean up. Our professional-grade application is designed to withstand daily use for up to fifteen years, giving you true peace of mind and incredible value.
Once we finish our work, caring for your restored fixture is incredibly easy and requires no heavy scrubbing. You simply need to avoid abrasive powder cleansers, bleach, and rough scrubbing pads that can dull the glossy finish over time. Instead, a quick wipe down with a mild liquid dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth is all it takes to keep it sparkling. This simple routine protects the brilliant shine and ensures your bathroom stays looking pristine with almost zero effort on your part.
Additionally, we always recommend keeping your bath mat dry and avoiding mats with heavy suction cups that can pull on the new glaze. If you prefer a non-slip surface, just let us know before we begin our application process. We can permanently integrate a subtle, slip-resistant texture directly into the bottom of the basin during the spraying phase. This built-in safety feature protects your family from slips while maintaining a clean, cohesive look that is extremely easy to wash.
Are you ready to stop hiding your bathroom behind a closed shower curtain when guests come over? We are standing by to help you breathe new life into your home with our affordable, high-quality restoration services. Our friendly team will visit your home, inspect your current setup, and provide a detailed, written quote with absolutely no obligation or pressure.

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 Pettus, 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.

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