A dull or chipped tub in Rose Hill 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.

Many homeowners assume that a dull tub is a total loss. However, the durable core of your old fixture is likely in excellent shape under those surface scratches. Our process bonds a fresh, high-gloss protective layer directly to the original porcelain or fiberglass structure.
To start, we meticulously clean the area with specialized compounds to strip away soap scum and old oils. This crucial step ensures the new coating grabs hold of the base material. After repairing any deep gouges, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that fuses the materials together.
Next, we spray several coats of our high-tech acrylic polymer across the entire basin. This creates a thick, seamless shield that resists impact and chemical cleaners. Finally, we cure the surface to deliver a sleek finish that mimics the look of brand-new porcelain.
| Project Phase | Key Actions Taken | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Prep | Acid etching and deep cleaning | Guarantees the new finish will never peel |
| Damage Repair | Filling chips and fixing cracks | Restores structural integrity and prevents leaks |
| Topcoat Application | Multi-layer polymer spray | Delivers a brilliant shine that is easy to clean |

You might see cheap rolled-on coating kits at your local big-box hardware store. Honestly, those retail products lack the industrial bonding agents required for a lasting finish. They usually start peeling and bubbling within a few months of normal use.
Because those DIY paints dry slowly, they trap dust and pet hair right in your finish. This leaves you with a rough, sandpaper-like texture that feels terrible against your skin. Our professional spray equipment ensures a perfectly flat, glass-smooth surface every single time.
On top of that, fixing a failed DIY job costs much more than doing it right the first time. We have to spend extra hours stripping away the gummy paint before we can start our process. Save yourself the headache and let our experienced hands handle the chemicals safely.
Maybe your old basin has a nasty rust ring around the drain from a leaky faucet. We grind away that corrosion entirely and apply a rust-inhibiting primer to stop it from returning. This keeps the weak spots from eating through the metal core of your fixture.
Sometimes, fiberglass tubs develop soft spots on the bottom that flex when you stand on them. We inject heavy-duty structural foam underneath the floor to create a rock-solid foundation. This stops the flexing motion so our new coating will not crack under your feet.
Once we finish our magic, maintaining that beautiful glow is incredibly simple. You only need to wipe down the surface with a soft sponge and a mild liquid dish soap. This simple routine keeps the non-porous barrier clean without scratching the glossy finish.
However, you must avoid abrasive scrubbing powders and harsh bleach products. Those gritty cleaners act like sandpaper and will slowly dull the shine over time. Giving up the hard scrubbing is actually a major perk that our clients absolutely love.
We arrive right on time with all the specialized ventilation equipment needed to keep your indoor air clean. Our technicians mask off your vanity, toilet, and floor tiles with protective paper and plastic sheets. This careful preparation guarantees that no overspray lands on your expensive bathroom fixtures.
Then, we set up a powerful exhaust fan to vent all fumes safely out the nearest window. This keeps chemical odors from drifting into your kitchen or living room while we work. We focus on keeping your living space comfortable and safe from start to finish.
After the final coat cures, we carefully remove all our masking tape and clean up our workspace. We leave your bathroom looking spotless, except for that gorgeous, gleaming tub that looks like a million bucks. You get to enjoy a premium upgrade without any of the cleanup chores.
Are you ready to transform your dingy bathroom into a bright oasis of cleanliness? We are standing by to answer your questions and schedule a convenient time to inspect your fixtures. Our friendly team will walk you through the options and provide a detailed price quote on the spot.

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 Rose Hill, 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.
