| The Hard Way (Full Replacement) | The Smart Way (Surface Resurfacing) |

| Days of loud, dusty demolition work | Completed in just a few quiet hours |

| Weeks of waiting to use your bathroom | Ready for action the very next day |
First of all, trying to yank a heavy cast iron or steel tub out of a tight bathroom space almost always damages your beautiful drywall and flooring. Which means a simple weekend project quickly spirals into a multi-week construction disaster that costs a fortune. On top of that, you have to hire expensive plumbers to hook up the new drain lines.
Instead of dealing with that massive headache, our specialized coating process bonds directly to your old porcelain or fiberglass. This lets you keep your sturdy, original fixture while completely erasing decades of ugly stains, chips, and hard water deposits. Believe it or not, the finished result looks identical to a brand new factory installation.
Actually, many homeowners do not realize how thin and flimsy modern replacement tubs really are compared to older models. By keeping your original heavy-duty basin, you retain that solid, high-quality feel underfoot while enjoying a pristine, easy-to-clean exterior. It is truly the ultimate win-win situation for your wallet and your peace of mind.
To start off, we scrub the entire area with specialized cleaners to remove every single trace of soap scum and body oils. After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses the new protective layer to the original substrate. This critical step ensures that the fresh finish will never peel or bubble up when you take hot showers.
Next, we carefully repair any deep gouges, rust spots, or unsightly chips with a premium waterproof filler. Once we sand everything completely flat, the surface looks as smooth as glass before we even open a single can of protective coating. We take our time with this prep work because we refuse to cut corners on quality.
Now, we use professional spray equipment to apply multiple layers of an incredibly durable, high-tech acrylic polymer finish. This advanced material mimics the deep luster of original fired porcelain while offering superior resistance to daily wear and tear. Furthermore, the non-porous barrier keeps dirt from sinking into the material, making your weekly cleaning chores a breeze.
After the final coat cures, we perform a thorough inspection to ensure every square inch meets our strict standards. Then, you simply let it dry for a short period before stepping into your refreshed sanctuary. You will marvel at how bright and clean your entire bathroom feels once the main fixture shines like new.
Living in our lovely unincorporated community of about 4,630 residents, you know how important it is to support local businesses who treat you like family. Our service area covers the entire 70657 ZIP code, where the median household income is highly valued and spent wisely. We treat every single home we enter with the utmost respect, keeping our work area tidy from start to finish.
Because our humid Southern weather can sometimes make bathroom ventilation a bit tricky, we use high-powered exhaust fans during the application process. This setup safely pulls any fumes out of your home so your family can breathe easily while we work. We always go the extra mile to ensure your absolute safety and satisfaction during our visit.
Whether you own a historic farmhouse near the highway or a modern home tucked away in the pines, we customize our approach for your specific fixtures. Our extensive experience with different materials means we know exactly how to handle stubborn old cast iron, pressed steel, or modern acrylic. You can trust our hands-on knowledge to get the job done right the first time.
To protect your investment, you must avoid using harsh abrasive cleansers or scratchy green scrubbing pads on the fresh surface. Instead, simply wipe down the area with a mild liquid dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth after each use. This simple routine prevents soap scum buildup and keeps that brilliant, glossy shine looking brand new for many years.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy metal cans of shaving cream sitting directly on the ledge. Over time, trapped water beneath these items can dull the finish or cause dark rust rings that are tough to clean. By using a hanging shower caddy, you keep your surfaces clear and looking absolutely pristine.
Lastly, make sure your shower head and faucets do not have any constant, annoying drips that pool water in one spot. Over several years, a steady drip can wear down even the toughest industrial coatings, leading to premature dullness. Fixing a leaky tap is a cheap way to ensure your gorgeous basin stays perfect for a decade or more.
If you are ready to stop squinting at those ugly stains, we are standing by to help you plan your budget-friendly bathroom transformation.

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 Ragley, 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.
