All over Putnam 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.
Do you look at your old stained tub and feel completely grossed out every morning? Well, replacing that fixture costs a fortune and tears your entire bathroom apart. Fortunately, our local trade pros can spray a fresh coating right over your existing unit.
Now, finding out how to fix your peeling basin can seem super overwhelming at first glance. This means you need a trustworthy contractor who arrives directly at your home to inspect the damage. Furthermore, getting a clear picture of the project helps you plan your budget without any nasty surprises later on.
This lets you avoid months of messy construction work and endless plumbing bills. Consequently, you save a ton of hard-earned cash while still getting that shiny new look you crave. By choosing local contractors who specialize in resurfacing, you get honest work done right the first time.
What exactly happens when someone restores your battered bathroom centerpiece? Basically, the technician strips away soap scum, etches the old surface, and applies a high-grade bonding agent. This creates a solid foundation for the brand new glossy finish.
First off, the crew scrubs every single inch of your tub until it sparkles. Then, they tape off surrounding tiles and floors to protect your house from stray overspray. This meticulous prep work ensures the fresh finish sticks around for a very long time.
Next up, specialized spray guns lay down multiple layers of acrylic resin or polyurethane. Such advanced chemical mixtures fill in minor scratches and chips seamlessly. Therefore, your tired old basin transforms into a mirror-like masterpiece before your very eyes.
Have you ever checked the price tag on a complete bathroom gut job lately? Tearing out cast iron or fiberglass units creates massive amounts of heavy debris. Instead, our surface renewal service leaves your walls and plumbing totally untouched.
On top of that, you bypass weeks of waiting for permits and contractors to show up. This lets you enjoy your newly updated bathing space in just twenty four hours. Plus, you keep heavy construction waste out of local landfills by recycling what you already own.
Which means you do something great for the planet while upgrading your interior style. Meanwhile, your friends will assume you dropped thousands on a massive high-end renovation. Truly, nobody has to know you chose the smart and affordable route.
Many folks worry that sprayed finishes peel off after just a few months of normal use. However, modern bonding agents and professional application techniques create a rock-solid chemical weld. This means your new coating withstands daily showers and scrubbing without chipping away.
Another big concern involves the strong chemical smells during the actual spraying session. Yet, our local crews use heavy-duty ventilation systems to suck fumes right out the window. Because of this smart setup, your indoor air stays clean and safe for your family.
Naturally, some homeowners think the shiny new look fades quickly under harsh cleaning products. Still, wiping down the surface with mild soap keeps the gloss looking brand new for years. Ultimately, proper daily care guarantees your investment pays off over the long haul.
Living down here in Florida brings intense humidity and heavy mineral water deposits into your bathroom. These harsh elements quickly dull original porcelain and cause stubborn rust stains around drains. Fortunately, our protective topcoats repel hard water minerals much better than worn out original factory finishes.
Now, our region features scattered communities across lush green landscapes and winding waterways. This vast coverage area means our mobile service vehicles drive straight to your driveway no matter where you reside. Whether you live near the St Johns River or closer to Crescent City, we bring the tools to you.
Although our local ZIP codes range from rural stretches to cozy neighborhoods, our pricing remains completely fair. Because we operate right here in your backyard, you never pay extra travel fees for distant crews. This local advantage guarantees prompt arrival times and personalized customer care.
Do you prefer a classic bright white or something with a bit more warm color tone? Well, modern coating palettes give you endless choices to match your existing tiles and vanity. This lets you customize your bathroom aesthetic down to the tiniest visual detail.
Furthermore, you can select between high-gloss mirrors finishes or subtle satin textures depending on your taste. Such flexibility ensures your newly sprayed basin blends right in with your home decor. By tailoring every single project to your specific wishes, we guarantee total satisfaction.
On top of all that, slip-resistant textures can be sprayed directly onto the bottom of the basin. This practical addition protects your family from accidental slips and dangerous falls while stepping in and out. Safety features like this give you true peace of mind every single day.
Taking care of a freshly coated tub requires just a few basic habits to maintain maximum shine. For instance, you should always avoid abrasive scouring pads or bleach-heavy scrubbing powders. Instead, soft sponges and gentle dish soap keep the glossy layer completely unharmed.
In addition, drying the surface after your final shower of the day prevents soap scum buildup. This simple routine stops mineral deposits from sticking to the fresh acrylic coating. Consequently, your bathroom centerpiece stays radiant and clean with very little elbow grease.
Whenever minor scuffs happen, specialized polishing compounds buff them right out without professional help. Such resilience makes this upgrade one of the best investments for busy households. You get luxury appeal without the exhausting maintenance schedule.

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.
