A dull or chipped tub in Piney 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.

Most people do not realize that the secret to a long-lasting finish lies entirely in the preparation work. Our skilled technicians begin by meticulously cleaning the existing basin with industrial-strength agents to strip away decades of soap scum, mineral deposits, and body oils. After that, we repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or unsightly chips using specialized polyester fillers that bond permanently to the original structure. This careful attention to detail ensures that the new coating adheres flawlessly without any risk of peeling or bubbling later on.
Once the surface is completely smooth and primed, we apply a high-tech acrylic urethane coating using a professional spray system. This advanced material fuses chemically with the old surface, creating a non-porous barrier that resists stains and impact damage. You will love how easy it is to clean the new glossy surface because dirt simply has nowhere to hide. Plus, this method works beautifully on cast iron, steel, fiberglass, and even acrylic units, making it incredibly versatile for any home style.
To help you understand how this process compares to traditional remodeling, we compiled a quick comparison table below:
| Restoration Feature | Our Professional Coating Method | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in 4 to 6 hours | Typically takes several days to a week |
| Construction Mess | Virtually none, with zero demolition | High amount of dust, noise, and debris |
| Expected Lifespan | Up to 10 to 15 years with proper care | Decades, but at a massive upfront cost |
Living in Garland County means enjoying a peaceful, close-knit community where neighbors truly care about maintaining their homes. With a local population of 4,699 residents, our beautiful area in the state of Arkansas is filled with charming houses that often feature classic, well-built bathrooms from previous decades. Many of these older homes boast heavy cast iron tubs that are structurally superior to modern plastic ones but suffer from worn, dull finishes. Our professional restoration service allows you to keep that high-quality, heavy-duty vintage tub while giving it a bright, modern look that matches any contemporary design trend.
Because the median household income in this region of AR is balanced, finding cost-effective ways to improve property value is always a top priority. Whether your home sits in the 71913 ZIP code or nearby areas, investing in a professional surface renewal delivers an incredible return on investment. You instantly boost the aesthetic appeal of your entire bathroom, which is a major selling point if you ever decide to put your property on the market. On top of that, the quick turnaround time means you do not have to disrupt your family's daily routine or share a single bathroom for weeks on end.
You might see cheap epoxy kits at your local home improvement store and wonder if you can tackle this project yourself over the weekend. However, those retail products lack the chemical bonding agents and professional spray equipment required to achieve a smooth, durable finish. Most DIY attempts end up looking streaky, brush-marked, and eventually start peeling off in sheets within just a few months. When that happens, removing the failed DIY coating actually costs more because of the extra labor required to strip the old mess before we can apply our commercial-grade materials.
By hiring a seasoned local contractor, you get peace of mind knowing the job is done right the first time with commercial-grade safety ventilation. We use specialized exhaust systems to pull fumes out of your home during the application process, keeping your indoor air clean and safe. Our team also backs our work with a solid warranty, ensuring that your newly coated fixture remains beautiful and durable for many years to come.
Caring for your restored basin is incredibly simple and requires far less effort than scrubbing a worn, porous surface. You should completely avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh bleaching agents, as these can dull the beautiful high-gloss shine over time. Instead, we recommend using mild liquid dish soaps or non-abrasive bathroom sprays paired with a soft sponge or microfiber cloth. This gentle cleaning routine keeps the protective barrier intact and prevents soap scum from building up on the smooth surface.
Another excellent tip is to avoid leaving wet washcloths or bottles of shampoo sitting directly on the rim for extended periods. Standing water trapped under items can slowly weaken the bond over several years, leading to premature wear. If you have dripping faucets, getting them repaired promptly will also protect your investment from mineral staining and water erosion. By following these basic guidelines, you will enjoy a sparkling, clean bathroom that looks pristine for a decade or longer.

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 Piney, 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.
