A dull or chipped tub in Spencer 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 probably look at your cracked and stained bathroom tub every morning and wish it looked brand new again. Restoring the finish of your existing porcelain or fiberglass basin is a smart way to get that high-end feeling without blowing your whole budget.
This local project in the heart of Roane County lets you transform a dingy space into a sparkling oasis. You do not need to tear out walls or spend weeks living in a construction zone just to upgrade your daily soak.
Replacing a heavy cast iron tub is a nightmare that involves plumbing, tile damage, and a massive bill. Most people in our area realize that stripping out old fixtures creates a mess that takes forever to clean up.
Instead of demolition, you can opt for a chemical bonding process that coats your old tub with a durable polymer. This method provides a smooth finish that looks identical to a brand new installation.
You save thousands of dollars by keeping the tub you already have in place. This makes your bank account happy while giving your home a much needed visual boost.
First, the technician cleans the surface thoroughly to remove any soap scum, mineral deposits, or old caulk residue. They sand down the dull areas to create a profile that helps the new coating stick perfectly.
Next, they apply a specialized primer and a high-strength acrylic coating that cures into a rock-solid shell. This creates a surface that feels amazing to the touch and resists future staining or chips.
After a few hours of drying time, you can return to using your bathroom like normal. It really is that simple to turn an eyesore into a centerpoint of relaxation.
A fresh coat provides a level of ease that feels like true luxury in your bathroom. Because the surface becomes non-porous, you spend way less time scrubbing away dirt and grime during your weekly cleaning sessions.
This upgrade also stops water from seeping into cracks and causing hidden damage behind the wall. Protecting your home structure is just as important as keeping things looking good for your guests.
By sealing the surface, you prevent mold and mildew from taking root in those nasty little fissures. A clean tub keeps your entire bathroom smelling fresh and feeling inviting all year round.

| Feature | Concrete Benefit for You | |
|---|---|---|
| Chemical Bonding | Creates a long-lasting, smooth finish | |
| Non-Porous Coating | Makes scrubbing away grime incredibly simple | |
| No Demolition | Prevents expensive tile and pipe damage | |
| Rapid Curing | Lets you use the shower by the next day |
Many folks worry that the smell of the chemicals will stick around for days after the work finishes. Fortunately, we use high-grade ventilation systems to pull those fumes out of your home while we spray the new finish.
Others ask if the result will peel off after a few months of heavy use. When you hire a professional who knows the right preparation steps, that new coat will stay attached for years to come.
You might wonder if you can change the color of your tub from that outdated harvest gold to a crisp white. This is the perfect time to choose a modern shade that matches your current style and decor.
Once the job is finished, you should avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could scratch the new surface. A soft sponge and a mild, non-abrasive soap are all you need to keep things looking pristine.
Think of it like taking care of a new car finish because the same logic applies to your tub. Treating the surface with care helps it keep that glossy shine for a much longer time.
If you happen to drop something heavy, it might chip the surface just like any other material. However, the good news is that these tiny accidents are easy to patch up without redoing the whole thing.
If you are ready to see a major difference in your bathroom, the first step is getting a clear idea of the cost. You deserve a transparent estimate that explains exactly what you are paying for and why.
You see the number first, then you decide. We come out to your house, inspect the condition of your fixture, and give you an honest assessment.
Once you see how affordable it is to bring your bathroom back to life, you will wonder why you waited this long. Let us handle the messy stuff while you dream about your next relaxing soak in a tub that looks brand new.
You might see kits at the local hardware store that promise a quick fix for a low price. While these look tempting on the box, they often fail to provide the durability you need for a wet area.
Those store-bought rollers and brushes usually leave behind streaks and uneven textures that look messy. Professionals have the spray equipment and chemical knowledge to ensure a flawless, mirror-like finish every single time.
Investing in a pro service means you avoid the frustration of doing it yourself and hating the outcome. You save your weekend for hobbies and family instead of scrubbing chemicals in a cramped room.

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 Spencer, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
