A dull or chipped tub in Slayden 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.

Which is why we offer a completely free quote to help you plan this simple upgrade.
Let us take a look at how this process works and why it makes so much sense for your wallet.
Many homeowners confuse this specialized deep-coat process with simple painting.
Actually, we use high-grade industrial bonding agents and acrylic coatings that fuse directly with your existing cast iron or steel setup.
This creates a incredibly durable, non-porous barrier that looks identical to brand new porcelain.
First, we meticulously clean the area using specialized acid-based cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum.
Then, we repair any unsightly chips, rust spots, or deep scratches with waterproof polyester fillers.
After that, we spray multiple layers of topcoat to ensure a glossy, smooth finish that lasts for years.
This entire transformation takes only a few hours of careful onsite labor.
Which means you can start using your rejuvenated shower space again in just about twenty-four hours.
You get to enjoy the luxurious feel of a pristine wash basin without the typical remodel headaches.
You might feel tempted to buy a cheap roller kit from the local hardware store.
However, those retail products lack the strong chemical bonding agents that professional-grade systems rely on.
They usually start peeling off in giant sheets after just a few hot showers.
Our team utilizes commercial exhaust fans to safely vent all the strong fumes outside your house.
On top of that, we wear professional respirators to ensure the highest safety standards during the application.
Choosing our service guarantees a flawless finish that will not bubble or crack when you run hot water.
| Feature | Professional Service | Store-Bought DIY Kit |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Often peels within 6 to 12 months |
| Finish Quality | High-gloss, smooth porcelain-like surface | Visible brush strokes and uneven texture |
| Safety Equipment | Industrial ventilation and full respirators | Standard dust mask with high fume exposure |

Because of this, we never cut corners on prep work or material quality.
We want you to feel proud of your home when friends and family come over to visit.
Maintaining your shiny new finish is actually much easier than scrubbing old, porous porcelain.
You simply need to wipe it down with a mild liquid soap and a soft microfiber cloth.
This prevents the buildup of grime without scratching the protective top layer.
Never use abrasive scrubbing powders or harsh bleach products on the restored area.
Those abrasive chemicals will eventually dull the beautiful shine and shorten the lifespan of the coating.
Treating your tub with gentle care ensures it remains a bright highlight of your home for over a decade.
To begin, our technician carefully masks off your bathroom walls, floor, and vanity with protective paper.
This careful preparation protects your surrounding fixtures from any accidental overspray or dust.
We take pride in leaving your home just as clean as we found it.
Next, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent directly onto the freshly etched original surface.
This chemical bridge is the secret key that prevents peeling and lifting over time.
Without this step, the new finish would quickly fail due to the constant moisture of daily bathing.
Finally, we apply several coats of our premium aliphatic polyurethane finish using a precision spray gun.
This specific material offers incredible impact resistance and a gorgeous depth of gloss.
Once cured, the surface feels incredibly smooth to the touch, providing amazing ease of cleaning.
Most fiberglass, acrylic, cast iron, and steel models are perfect candidates for this restorative treatment.
Even if your current basin is a dated color like avocado green or dusty rose, we can change it to a modern bright white.
This simple color shift instantly modernizes your entire bathroom space.
If your tub has structural cracks that leak water, we will inspect it thoroughly first.
Sometimes severe damage requires specialized fiberglass reinforcement before we can apply the final cosmetic coats.
We always give you an honest assessment of what can be safely repaired during our initial visit.
Now is the perfect time to stop ignoring that embarrassing, stained bath area.

We look forward to helping you transform your home with our professional surface reglazing expertise!
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 Slayden, 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.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
