A dull or chipped tub in Powell 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.
Maybe you are sick of looking at that ugly, chipped tub every single day. Fortunately, our team of local specialists can make your old fixture look brand new in just a few hours. This affordable process saves you thousands of dollars compared to a messy demolition.
Naturally, we understand how frustrating a stained, outdated wash basin can be. Since you deserve a beautiful place to relax, we offer a completely free estimate to help you plan your project. Our local team visits your home to inspect the surface and explain how we restore that high-gloss shine.
You might wonder how we turn a dull, scratched basin into a sparkling masterpiece. First, we chemically clean the old surface to remove decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. This critical step ensures our premium bonding agents adhere perfectly to the underlying material.
After preparing the area, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks using specialized fillers. Then, we apply a high-tech primer coat followed by multiple layers of a durable acrylic coating. This advanced liquid glaze cures into a rock-hard, glossy shell that mimics genuine porcelain.
To help you compare your options, we compiled a quick guide to show how our local refinishing service stacks up against traditional bathroom remodeling.
| Factor | Our Refinishing Process | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable | Extremely expensive |
| Project Duration | 4 to 6 hours | 3 to 5 days |
| Mess & Demolition | None | Major dust and debris |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 years | 20+ years |
Homeowners often assume they must replace a worn-out washing basin to get a clean look. However, demolition costs quickly skyrocket because plumbers must tear out walls and modify old pipes. By choosing to coat the existing structure instead, you keep your hard-earned money in your bank account.
This budget-friendly option is especially popular in our quiet community of 1,089 residents. Since the median household income in this lovely corner of Lauderdale County is around $33,750, saving money on home repairs is a top priority for most families. Our affordable service lets you upgrade your home without stress.
On top of saving money, you also save precious time. While a full bathroom remodel can render your home a dusty construction zone for a week, our process takes less than a day. Which means you can take a relaxing bath in your newly coated tub the very next evening.
Before we even open a bottle of glaze, we meticulously mask off your entire bathroom to protect your floors, walls, and vanity. Then, we use a specialized acid etch on cast iron or steel tubs to create microscopic pores in the surface. This mechanical bond is what keeps the new coating from peeling over time.
If you have a fiberglass or acrylic unit, we use a different, non-acidic bonding agent specifically designed for synthetic materials. Either way, we guarantee the new finish will stick like glue. We never cut corners on prep work because we know it represents the foundation of a long-lasting finish.
Once the surface is primed, we use professional HVLP spray equipment to apply the topcoats. This high-volume, low-pressure system allows us to lay down a perfectly smooth layer without any brush marks or roller textures. You get a factory-grade finish that looks incredibly sleek.
We apply several coats of this specialized polyurethane acrylic polymer to ensure maximum durability. This material resists impact, staining, and hot water, giving you peace of mind for years to come. Finally, we remove all masking tape and clean up our work area so your bathroom looks spotless.
Once our team finishes the job, you must treat the new surface with a little bit of care. Although the cured finish is incredibly tough, abrasive cleaners like bleach or scouring powder can dull the glossy shine over time. Instead, you should use mild dish soap or non-abrasive liquid cleaners to keep it sparkling.
Avoid leaving wet washcloths or shampoo bottles sitting on the ledge for extended periods. These items can trap water underneath them, which eventually weakens the bond of the coating. By following these simple guidelines, your restored basin will retain its gorgeous luster for up to fifteen years.
Additionally, we highly recommend upgrading your drain and overflow faceplate at the same time. Installing shiny new metal fixtures alongside your freshly coated basin creates a truly stunning contrast. We can easily install these new parts for you during our visit to complete the transformation.
We take immense pride in helping our neighbors throughout the local area, including those living in the 35653 ZIP code. Our small-town values mean we treat your home with the utmost respect and care. You never have to worry about messy technicians or hidden fees when you work with us.
Because we live and work in this beautiful Southern region, our reputation is everything to us. We arrive on time, work efficiently, and always clean up after ourselves. This dedication to quality is why so many local homeowners recommend our restoration services to their friends and family.
If you are ready to say goodbye to that ugly, stained wash basin, we are here to help. Contact us today to request your completely free, no-obligation estimate. Let us show you how easy and affordable it is to fall in love with your bathroom all over again!
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 Powell, 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.
