All over Runnels 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.
Your old tub probably looks like it survived a small war... right?
Between the ugly stains that refuse to budge and that weird dated color from forty years ago, taking a bath feels more like a chore than a relaxing escape. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to get that sparkling clean finish you deserve. Our local team specializes in restoring the slick luster of your existing bathing fixture right in your home. By choosing this smart alternative to replacement, you save a mountain of cash while avoiding the headache of weeks of construction dust. If you want to transform your space today, click below to request your free estimate and let us bring that shine back.
First, let us talk about how this process actually works because a lot of folks think we just paint over the dirt.
Actually, our specialized technicians use a multi-step chemical bonding process that fuses a high-performance acrylic coating directly onto your worn-out porcelain or fiberglass shell. This creates a completely non-porous barrier that resists mildew, chips, and daily wear. You get a thick, ultra-glossy surface that looks identical to a brand-new installation. Since we do not rip out your plumbing or tear up your tile surround, the entire process takes only a few hours instead of days. That means you can get back to your normal routine almost immediately without living in a construction zone.
To give you a better idea of how this stacks up against a traditional remodel, we put together a handy comparison table.
| Feature | Our Resurfacing Method | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, budget-friendly | Extremely high with plumbing costs |
| Time to Complete | usually 4 to 6 hours | Up to a week or more |
| Mess & Dust | Minimal, contained to the room | Heavy demolition and debris |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 years with proper care | Long-term but high initial investment |
Now, you can see why so many homeowners prefer this modern refinishing route.
This clever upgrade gives you the exact same visual upgrade at a fraction of the price. Which means you can spend your hard-earned money on other fun home projects instead.

Living out in this beautiful part of the Lone Star State means appreciating hard work and sensible solutions.
Our service area covers every corner of this historic region, where the local community of about ten thousand residents values reliable, down-to-earth craftsmanship. Whether you reside in a classic ranch home or a modern property near the county seat, we know how hard water can wreak havoc on your plumbing fixtures. Mineral buildup often leaves unsightly orange and brown rings that seem impossible to scrub away. Luckily, our heavy-duty bonding agents are specifically designed to withstand these tough local water conditions. We proudly serve homeowners across the local ZIP codes, including 76821, 76866, and 79567, bringing professional restoration straight to your doorstep.
This allows you to preserve the character of your older home while enjoying modern cleanliness.
Many houses in the area feature gorgeous vintage cast iron models that are far better quality than the cheap plastic ones sold in stores today. Instead of throwing away a heavy, durable piece of history, we give it a stunning facelift. This preserves the heat-retention properties of cast iron while making the surface look pristine. You get to keep the heavy-duty quality of yesteryear with the bright, clean look of today.
First, we clean the surface with specialized industrial prep agents to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using a waterproof polyester filler to ensure the foundation is completely smooth. This step is crucial because any imperfection left behind would show through the final glossy coat. After making the repairs, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like microscopic anchors, locking the new finish to the old substrate. Finally, we spray several coats of our premium acrylic urethane, creating a seamless, high-gloss shield. We use advanced ventilation systems during the application, which keeps odors to an absolute minimum while we work.
To keep your renewed surface looking incredible for the next decade, you just need to follow a few simple rules.
Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like bleach, steel wool, or gritty scrubbing powders that can dull the shiny finish over time. Instead, stick to mild dish soap or non-abrasive foam cleaners and a soft sponge. This gentle routine keeps the acrylic layer smooth and prevents dirt from getting trapped. Also, make sure to fix any leaky faucets promptly, as constant dripping can wear down even the toughest materials over several years. By taking these easy steps, you protect your investment and ensure your bathroom stays gorgeous.
We know that welcoming a contractor into your home requires trust, and we do not take that lightly.
Our friendly technicians treat your property with the utmost respect, masking off your walls and floors to ensure we leave no mess behind. We understand that a clogged, dirty-looking bathroom can feel embarrassing when guests visit. That is why we work quickly and efficiently to restore your peace of mind along with your fixture. You do not have to live with a stained, peeling tub anymore. Let our family-friendly team handle the hard work so you can finally enjoy a relaxing soak in a clean, beautiful space.

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.
