A dull or chipped tub in Royal Center 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.

This budget friendly alternative saves you thousands of dollars compared to buying brand new replacements. By choosing this smart route, you avoid the absolute nightmare of tearing out old plumbing and walls. We make the entire process incredibly simple and fast for you.
When you want to transform your bathroom without the stress, our local crew is ready to help you. We offer a completely free estimate so you can plan your budget with total confidence. Getting your space back in order has never felt this easy or rewarding.
Many homeowners confuse this specialized process with simple painting, but the actual method is much more advanced. First, we chemically clean the old porcelain or fiberglass to remove decades of soap scum and mineral deposits. This critical step ensures the new materials bond perfectly to the original structure.
Next, we repair any ugly chips, deep scratches, or rust spots that ruin the look of your basin. After prepping the area, we apply a high tech bonding agent that acts like superglue for the new finish. We then spray several coats of a specialized acrylic coating that cures into a rock hard shell.
This fresh layer gives you a glossy surface that feels incredibly smooth to the touch. You will love how easy it is to clean this new material compared to the old, porous surface. On top of that, your tub will resist future stains and scratches for many years to come.
To give you a better idea of how this process stacks up against a full remodel, we put together a quick comparison table below:
| Project Factor | Professional Surface Restoration | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Highly affordable, saving up to 70% | Very expensive with high labor fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually done in just a single day | Can take several days or even weeks |
| Mess and Disruption | Minimal dust, no wall damage | Major dust, noise, and plumbing risks |
| Surface Durability | Lasts for years with basic care | Excellent, but rarely worth the extra cost |

Choosing to revitalize your current basin keeps heavy, bulky waste out of our local landfills. Which means you are making an eco friendly choice that helps protect our beautiful natural surroundings. You also save the energy and resources required to manufacture and ship a brand new heavy fixture.
Another major plus is that you preserve the charm of older, cast iron models that have unique shapes. Modern replacements often feel cheap and thin compared to the heavy duty craftsmanship of the past. By keeping the original piece, you maintain the structural integrity and character of your home.
The entire process takes less than a day, meaning your bathroom is not out of commission for weeks. This lets you get back to your normal daily routine without any annoying disruptions. Your family will appreciate having full access to the home facilities again in no time.
Maintaining your shiny new surface is actually much easier than dealing with the old, worn out one. You must avoid abrasive cleaners like bleach or gritty scrubbing powders because they can dull the glossy finish. Instead, use mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner along with a soft sponge.
This simple cleaning routine keeps the protective barrier intact and prevents soap scum from building up. If you take care of it properly, your restored fixture will look brand new for over a decade. We always share these helpful tips with you on site to ensure your investment lasts.
You might see cheap repair kits at the local hardware store and feel tempted to try it yourself. However, those retail products use cheap paints that quickly peel, bubble, and crack after just a few hot showers. They lack the industrial strength bonding agents that our professional crew utilizes daily.
Without professional ventilation gear, the fumes from those DIY kits can also be quite hazardous to breathe. Our team uses specialized exhaust systems to safely pipe the smell out of your house during the application. We save you the headache, the mess, and the inevitable cost of fixing a failed DIY attempt.
Now is the perfect time to stop staring at that ugly, stained bathroom fixture and finally do something about it. We make the entire estimation process completely stress free by coming directly to your home. This allows us to inspect your specific setup and give you an honest, accurate price quote.
Our friendly technician will answer all your questions and explain the process step by step without any pushy sales tactics. We believe in transparent pricing, so the figure we give you is the exact price you will pay. You have absolutely nothing to lose by inviting us over for a quick look.
Do not let a dingy bathroom ruin the pride you feel for your home any longer. Simply reach out to us today to schedule your free, no obligation estimate. We look forward to helping you 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 Royal Center, 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.
