A dull or chipped tub in Pompano Beach 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.
Got an old, dingy washbasin that's seen better days, making your whole bathroom feel kinda sad? Well, imagine a sparkling, fresh bathing spot without dropping a fortune on a brand-new tub. We're here to spill the beans on how to give that tired fixture a real glow-up for way less than you'd expect.
First off, let's just talk about how much wear and tear our tubs take. Day in and day out, that old fixture faces soap scum, harsh cleaners, and sometimes even clumsy drops that cause chips and dings. So then, it's no wonder that after years of faithful service, your bathing area might start looking a little, shall we say, "experienced." This is exactly where we step in.
Furthermore, nobody wants to soak in a tub that looks like it's been through a war, right? Believe it or not, a worn-out surface can really drag down the whole vibe of your bathroom, making it feel less like a personal retreat and more like a forgotten corner. Consequently, lots of folks end up thinking they need to rip out the whole thing, which is a massive headache and an even bigger hit to your wallet. Therefore, we offer a smarter path.
Actually, lots of people don't even realize there's a fantastic alternative to full-on replacement. Instead of yanking out a perfectly good, sturdy tub just because its finish is toast, you can give it a spectacular second chance. This lets you save a ton of cash while still getting that fresh, clean look you're after. Which means you can skip the demolition dust and all the mess that comes with tearing out a heavy fixture.
Moreover, think about it: tearing out an old tub involves a whole parade of workers, plumbers, tile guys, maybe even drywall folks. Now, that's a lot of schedules to juggle and a mountain of cash to spend. However, when you opt for restoring the surface of your existing washbasin, it's often a much quicker job, cutting down on both time and expense. On top of that, you avoid the hassle of finding a new tub that fits your space just right.
So, you're probably wondering, "what in the world is this wizardry that brings old tubs back to life?" Basically, it's a pretty clever process where we apply a super tough, new coating right over your existing tub's worn-out surface. This essentially gives your tub a brand-new skin, without all the fuss of replacing it. Trust me, it's way more than just painting over it.
Indeed, we're talking about special stuff that really bonds to the original material, creating a smooth, glossy, and incredibly durable finish. Consequently, your once-dull or stained fixture transforms into something that truly sparkles and shines. Furthermore, this fresh surface isn't just about looking good; it also makes your tub way easier to clean, which is a major win for anyone who hates scrubbing. Just imagine trying to scrub away years of grime from a porous, damaged surface compared to wiping down a sleek, non-porous one.
First off, we start with some serious cleaning and prepping of your old bathing spot. Any chipped areas or dings get filled and sanded down so the surface is perfectly smooth. This is crucial because any bumps or rough spots would show right through the new coating. And honestly, nobody wants a lumpy tub.
Next up, we mask off all the surrounding areas like tiles and fixtures to protect them from any overspray. Think of it like a surgeon prepping for an operation, precision is key. Then, we apply several layers of our special bonding agent and topcoat, each one carefully sprayed on for an even, consistent finish. It's kinda like getting a really fancy car paint job for your tub, making it look super slick. Finally, we let it cure properly, and then, voilà, you've got a practically brand-new tub.
Actually, this amazing service isn't just for one type of tub. Believe it or not, most common tub materials are perfect candidates for this kind of renewal. This means if you have an old cast iron beauty, a fiberglass number, or even an acrylic wonder, we can usually give it that much-needed refresh. So then, you don't have to worry too much about what your tub is made of.
More importantly, it's about inspecting the integrity of the tub itself. For example, if your tub is structurally sound, meaning no major cracks going all the way through or huge holes, then there's a really good chance we can work our magic. However, if your tub is literally falling apart, then even our best efforts might not cut it, and we'd be honest about that. Consequently, we always start with a good look to make sure it's a worthwhile project for you.
When it comes to the materials we typically work with, there's quite a range. Many homes, especially older ones, feature cast iron washbasins that are built like tanks but whose surfaces get incredibly dull and stained over time. Furthermore, fiberglass enclosures and tubs are also super common, though they can often develop spiderweb cracks and lose their original sheen. Which means we have plenty of experience making those look spiffy again.
On top of that, acrylic tubs, popular for their lighter weight and modern designs, can also suffer from scratches and discoloration. Consequently, we're adept at bringing these back to their former glory too. Each material requires a slightly different approach and specific bonding agents, but the end goal is always the same: a stunning, refreshed surface that looks amazing. Thus, whatever kind of bathing fixture you've got, chances are good we can help.
Let's be real for a minute: money talks, right? So then, when you're looking at a renovation project, the cost is usually the first thing on your mind. Fortunately, opting to revive your existing tub's surface instead of replacing it can save you an absolute fortune. We're talking hundreds, sometimes even thousands, of dollars.
Just imagine, a full tub replacement can easily run you into the thousands once you factor in the new tub itself, demolition, plumbing work, tile repair, and trash removal. Consequently, all those little costs add up really fast. However, giving your tub a fresh coating is typically a fraction of that price, letting you keep more cash in your pocket for other fun stuff, or maybe even another home improvement project. Moreover, you get the look of a brand-new tub without the brand-new tub price tag, which is pretty awesome if you ask me.
Even better, this isn't just about saving money upfront; it's also about smart long-term value. A well-cared-for renewed surface can last for years, giving you a fresh, clean look without constant worry. Furthermore, it helps extend the life of your entire bathroom, pushing off a full remodel for a good long while. This means you get a lot of mileage out of your investment.
Which means if you're thinking about selling your place down the road, a sparkling bathroom can add significant curb appeal and potentially boost your home's value. Nobody wants to buy a house with a gross-looking bathroom. Consequently, a refreshed bathing area presents a clean, well-maintained image to potential buyers. It's truly a win-win situation all around.
So, you've had your tub rejuvenated, and it looks absolutely fantastic. Now what? Well, the good news is that caring for your newly surfaced tub is actually pretty straightforward. However, there are a few important things you'll need to remember to keep it looking pristine for years to come. This ensures your investment continues to shine.
First off, steer clear of abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes. Believe it or not, these can scratch and dull that beautiful new finish really quickly. Instead, stick to mild, non-abrasive liquid cleaners and soft sponges or cloths. This helps maintain the glossy look without damaging the surface. Plus, it's way less elbow grease than trying to scrub old stains.
On top of that, try to avoid letting soap scum and hard water stains build up too much. A quick wipe-down after each use, or at least regularly, goes a long way in preventing those stubborn marks. Think of it like dusting your furniture; a little bit often is better than a huge job once a month. Consequently, your tub will stay cleaner with less effort.
Moreover, if you have any leaky faucets, get them fixed ASAP. Constant dripping water, especially if it's hard water, can eventually cause discoloration or mineral deposits even on a fresh surface. So then, taking care of small plumbing issues will really protect your renewed tub. Also, avoid using bath mats with suction cups; sometimes these can trap moisture and chemicals, which isn't ideal for the finish.

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 Pompano Beach, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
