A dull or chipped tub in Shelby 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.
Are you tired of looking at that ugly worn out porcelain tub in your home? Fixing up your bathing basin without replacing it saves you a ton of cash right here in Oceana County.
Therefore you can easily transform your wash area without spending a fortune on a total bathroom gut job. This smart choice lets you enjoy a fresh glossy surface while keeping your hard earned money in your pocket.
Now you might wonder how professionals make an old scarred tub look brand new again. They start by cleaning the surface very thoroughly to remove soap scum and mineral deposits. Next they apply a strong bonding agent that makes the new topcoat stick tightly.
This careful preparation ensures your restored basin will not peel or chip anytime soon. Consequently you get a durable finish that withstands daily scrubbing and hot water without losing its shine.
Pulling out an old bathtub creates a huge mess and damages your surrounding tile walls. Because of that traditional remodeling projects drag on for weeks and disrupt your daily routine. Hiring local contractors to tear things out also adds massive labor fees to your final bill.
Meanwhile spraying a fresh coat right over your existing fixture takes just one day. This lets you avoid all the construction dust and headache while getting amazing results instantly.
Do you notice rough patches or stubborn stains that refuse to come clean no matter what you try? Such damage means the original protective glaze has worn down completely. When this happens water starts sinking into the porous material underneath.
Fortunately our crew knows exactly how to fix these exact problems on site. This means your bathroom keeps functioning normally while we work our magic.
First our technicians arrive at your property with all the specialized tools required for the job. They seal off the work area carefully to protect your floors and cabinets from overspray. After that they strip away the old worn finish using professional grade chemical strippers.
This meticulous attention to detail guarantees a smooth foundation for the fresh layers to follow. Which means your newly coated bathing unit feels silky and looks stunning from every angle.
Do you have unsightly chips around the drain or deep cracks along the bottom ledge? Ignoring these flaws lets moisture cause hidden structural rot underneath your flooring. Repairing them properly requires expert patching compounds that cure into a rock hard surface.
Our specialists fill every single imperfection before applying the final colorful coating. This prevents future leaks and gives you a completely waterproof basin once again.
| Traditional Remodeling | Surface Restoration |
|---|---|
| Takes several weeks | Finished in one day |
| Costs thousands of dollars | Saves up to seventy percent |
| Creates heavy debris | Zero demolition mess |
Once the repairs are done the spraying phase begins with precision and care. Multiple coats of high performance aliphatic urethane go onto the fixture using specialized equipment. This creates a brilliant gloss that mimics brand new cast iron or fiberglass perfectly.
Selecting your favorite color lets you match your exact interior design preferences effortlessly. On top of that the low maintenance surface resists mold growth and cleans up with mild soap.
Do you know how to care for your freshly sprayed bathing basin properly after we finish? Avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners keeps the glossy topcoat looking pristine for many years. Using soft sponges and gentle dish soap prevents unnecessary scratching on the delicate material.
Following these simple guidelines lets you enjoy your upgraded bathroom without any premature wear. That means your investment keeps paying off through years of daily family use.

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 Shelby, 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.
