This budget-friendly process is a specialized craft that breathes new life into worn-out cast iron, steel, or fiberglass basins. Instead of tearing apart your plumbing, we apply a high-performance liquid acrylic coating directly over your existing fixture. This means you avoid the costly nightmare of hiring plumbers and drywall contractors just to fix one unsightly spot.
First, our skilled technicians meticulously clean the area using industrial-strength agents to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. After that, we repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or structural chips with a premium waterproof filler. This critical prep work ensures the new layers bond perfectly to the old substrate for maximum durability.
Once the surface is completely smooth and primed, we use a professional spray system to apply several coats of a specialized topcoat. Consequently, you get a thick, non-porous barrier that resists stains, mold, and daily wear. You will love how easy it is to keep clean, plus you can customize the color to match your modern style.

Whether you live near the local high school or closer to the riverfront, our team is just a quick drive away. We understand the specific plumbing quirks of homes in this region, which allows us to tackle every job with absolute confidence. Let us show you how we can elevate your space with a simple, hassle-free upgrade.
| Project Factor | Our Professional Resurfacing | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable, usually a fraction of replacement | Extremely high due to labor and plumbing fees |
| Time to Complete | Finished in just a few hours | Can take several days or even weeks |
| Mess and Disruption | No demolition, minimal dust, very clean | Heavy drywall dust, broken tile, major mess |
| Fixture Quality | Keeps your heavy, durable original tub | Often replaces it with thin, cheap acrylic |
As you can see, opting for a professional recoating is the smartest choice for both your wallet and your sanity. You get to keep your heavy-duty original fixture while enjoying a sparkling clean surface that feels incredibly smooth. On top of that, you will not have to deal with dusty drywall sand or loud hammering echoing through your hallways.
We begin every project by carefully masking off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheeting and heavy-duty tape. This step ensures that no overspray or dust lands on your vanity, toilet, floor, or freshly painted walls. We also set up a specialized ventilation fan to draw any fumes directly out of the window while we work.
Next, we use a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor between the old porcelain and the new coating. This molecular bond is the secret to preventing peeling, cracking, or bubbling down the road. Our attention to detail during this phase is why our finishes remain beautiful and shiny for a very long time.
Finally, we apply the topcoats in thin, even layers using a professional HVLP spray gun for a flawless finish. After a short curing period, we remove all our masking materials and clean up the workspace so it looks spotless. You will be amazed when you step inside and see your old, dingy basin looking like a million bucks...
Caring for your upgraded fixture is actually much easier than dealing with old, porous porcelain that holds onto grime. Because the new acrylic topcoat is completely non-porous, dirt and soap residue wipe away with minimal effort. This lets you spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees and more time relaxing in your beautiful home.
To keep the shine bright, you should avoid abrasive cleaners like steel wool or harsh bleaching powders. Instead, simply use a mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner along with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple routine protects the glossy coat and ensures your bathroom stays sparkling for many years to come.
Investing in your home does not have to mean draining your savings account or living through a chaotic construction zone. Our specialized restoration service delivers the high-end look of a brand new bathroom at a price that fits your budget. We take care of all the hard work, leaving you with a clean, inviting space you can be proud of.
Our friendly team is always ready to answer your questions, explain our process, and help you choose the perfect shade for your project.

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 Springdale, 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.
