A dull or chipped tub in Reed Creek 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.
That old, dingy tub in your home does not need a sledgehammer to look brand new again. You can actually save thousands of dollars by choosing to restore the glossy surface instead of ripping it out of the wall. Our local team comes right to your house to provide a totally free estimate to make your bathing area shine like the day it was installed.
Buying a brand new fixture sounds easy until you realize you have to pay a plumber to tear up your walls and floor. This smart alternative process involves applying a durable, high-tech liquid acrylic coating directly over your worn-out cast iron or fiberglass basin. You get to keep your sturdy old setup while completely erasing those ugly stains, rust spots, and deep scratches that make your bathroom look dated.
Actually, the whole project takes less than a single day to finish, which means you will not be stuck without a shower for weeks on end. Since we use specialized bonding agents, the new topcoat fuses directly to the original porcelain or acrylic on a molecular level. This translates to a super smooth, ultra-glossy finish that resists mold and stands up to daily scrubbing.
To help you see the difference, we put together a quick comparison of your remodeling options:
| Project Factors | Complete Replacement | Surface Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very expensive (includes plumbing and tile work) | Highly affordable and budget-friendly |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks of messy construction | Finished in just four to eight hours |
| Mess and Debris | Tons of drywall dust and heavy landfill waste | Virtually zero mess left behind in your home |
On top of saving money, you also avoid the headache of dealing with permits and matching old tile patterns. Our skilled technicians handle all the prep work, including stripping away old DIY paint jobs that started peeling off. We make sure the final result looks incredibly sleek, clean, and modern.
First, we scrub the entire basin with industrial-strength cleaners to eliminate years of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. After that, we apply a safe acid paste to etch the old porcelain, which creates microscopic pores for the new coating to grip onto. Without this crucial step, the new finish would just bubble up and peel off after a few hot showers.
Next, we repair any deep chips or cracks using a specialized waterproof polyester filler that cures in minutes. Once we sand those patches perfectly flat, your old fixture will feel completely seamless to the touch. This meticulous preparation ensures your upgraded surface remains durable for up to fifteen years with proper care.
Now, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to shield your walls and vanity from any overspray. Then, we use a high-performance spray gun to apply several layers of our proprietary chemical bonding primer. This works like a super-strong glue that locks the new acrylic polyurethane finish directly onto the prepared base.
To finish the job, we spray multiple thin coats of premium aliphatic acrylic polyurethane glaze to create a deep, rich luster. Which means you get a gorgeous, non-porous finish that looks exactly like brand new ceramic. We even clean up our workspace thoroughly, leaving you with nothing but a beautiful, sparkling bathroom to enjoy.
We know how frustrating it is to look at a stained, outdated tub every single morning when you get ready for work. Our service area covers a beautiful census-designated place in Hart County, which is home to about 2,535 residents who appreciate honest, high-quality craftsmanship. Since the median household income here sits around $43,631, we focus on delivering budget-friendly home improvements that do not drain your savings account.
Whether you live near the scenic shores of Lake Hartwell or closer to the center of town, our local crew is always ready to drive out to your property. We serve the local ZIP codes in this lovely corner of Georgia, bringing all our own professional gear and safety ventilation systems. You can trust us to treat your home with the utmost respect, working quickly and keeping the noise to an absolute minimum.
Indeed, choosing to restore your fixture is also a fantastic way to keep heavy, non-biodegradable waste out of our local landfills. By breathing new life into what you already own, you protect the environment while upgrading your daily living conditions. We love helping our neighbors fall in love with their homes all over again through these simple, high-impact transformations.
Once we pack up our tools, you only need to wait about twenty-four hours before you can turn on the tap and take a relaxing bath. To protect your beautiful new finish, you should avoid using abrasive scrubbing powders, steel wool, or harsh bleach cleaners. Instead, we recommend using mild, liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom sprays along with a soft microfiber cloth.
Another smart tip is to avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy metal cans of shaving cream sitting directly on the ledge. These items can trap moisture underneath them, which might eventually dull the glossy finish over several years. By taking these small precautions, you ensure your restored fixture looks absolutely pristine for a very long time.
Lastly, make sure your bathroom fan runs properly or crack a window to let the damp air out after you bathe. Keeping the humidity down prevents soap scum from building up too fast on your slick new surface. If you ever have questions about caring for your upgraded wash area, our friendly team is always just a quick call away.

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 Reed Creek, 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.
