A dull or chipped tub in Shiloh 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.
You stare at that worn out tub every single day and wonder if you can ever make it shine again.

We want to help you fall in love with your home again by offering a free estimate today.
Many homeowners confuse this specialized refinishing process with cheap DIY paint kits that peel off after a few hot showers. Truly, our professional method involves a chemical bonding process that fuses a durable new coating to your old cast iron or fiberglass. First, we clean the area with industrial strength cleaners to remove every speck of soap scum and body oils. After that, we repair any chips or deep scratches so the foundation is completely smooth.
This meticulous preparation ensures that the new glossy topcoat sticks perfectly for a decade or more. Next, we use professional spray equipment to apply several layers of specialized acrylic urethanes. Which means you get a deep, rich shine that resists stains and holds up to daily use. Ultimately, this technique seals up porous areas where mold and bacteria love to hide.
To help you understand your choices, we created a quick comparison table below. This shows how our specialized process stacks up against a full replacement.
| Factor | Professional Resurfacing | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, usually under $600 | High, often $3,000 to $10,000 |
| Time to Complete | 3 to 5 hours | 3 to 7 days of messy construction |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal, we mask off the entire room | Extreme, drywall dust and debris |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 years with proper care | 20+ years but with high upfront cost |
Working with a nearby contractor means you get personal service from someone who knows the local community well. We proudly serve the quiet unincorporated community of Shiloh, which sits peacefully in the heart of Pike County. With a small population of about 321 residents, we treat every single client like our neighbor. Since the median household income here is around $37,321, we know that budget friendly home improvements are incredibly important to you.
Our team travels directly to your home in the local ZIP codes to deliver top tier craftsmanship without the big city price tag. This dedication to our neighbors means we never cut corners or use sub par materials. On top of that, we always clean up after ourselves so your home looks better than we found it. You can trust us to respect your property and your busy schedule.
You might wonder how we achieve such a mirror like finish without removing the heavy basin from your wall. Initially, we mask off all your tiles, walls, and floors to protect them from any overspray. Then, we set up a powerful ventilation system to pull any fumes out of your home through the nearest window. This step keeps your indoor air clean and comfortable while we perform our work.
Following the safety setup, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor. This critical step guarantees that the new glaze will not bubble, crack, or peel away over time. Afterward, we spray multiple coats of high gloss resin, allowing each layer to cure properly. Finally, we remove the masking tape and apply fresh caulk around the edges for a clean seal.
Replacing a tub often requires tearing out the surrounding tile, moving plumbing pipes, and sometimes even widening your bathroom door frame. Consequently, a simple project can quickly spiral into a massive financial headache. Choosing our restoration service bypasses all of those unnecessary hassles entirely. This means you keep your original, high quality vintage cast iron tub while giving it a modern makeover.
Many older tubs are actually made of much better materials than the cheap plastic ones sold in stores today. By restoring the surface, you preserve the heat retaining properties of heavy cast iron. Naturally, this lets you enjoy longer, warmer baths without wasting extra hot water. It is a smart, eco friendly choice that reduces landfill waste too.
Once we finish our work, keeping your restored fixture clean is actually much easier than before. Because the new non porous surface repels dirt, you no longer need to scrub with abrasive powders or harsh bleach. Instead, you can simply wipe it down with a mild liquid dish soap and a soft sponge. This easy routine preserves the beautiful luster and prevents microscratches from dulling the finish.
We also recommend avoiding suction cup bath mats, which can pull at the new coating over time. Instead, we can apply a permanent slip resistant texture to the bottom of your tub during the process. This added safety feature protects your family without risking any damage to the beautiful new glaze. It is just another way we add value to every job we do.

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 Shiloh, 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.
