All over Starr County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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You can completely transform your outdated bathroom without spending thousands of dollars on a messy demolition. Many homeowners think they need to rip out their entire washing basin when the surface gets stained or scratched. Instead of paying for an expensive replacement, you can choose a smart, budget-friendly alternative that makes your fixtures look brand new again.
Our skilled team specializes in restoring the original shine of your worn-out tubs and surrounding tiles right in your home. By applying a durable, high-gloss coating over your existing setup, we eliminate the need for noisy construction. This clever process saves you tons of time and keeps hard earned cash in your wallet.
To get started on your home upgrade, you can request a free estimate from our local team today. We love helping folks breathe new life into their homes without the typical headaches of remodeling. Let us show you how simple and affordable it is to refresh your bathing space.
So, how does this whole process actually work when we arrive at your house? First, we thoroughly clean the area to remove years of soap scum, mineral deposits, and old oils. After that, we repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots that might ruin the final look. This preparation step is super important because it ensures the new finish sticks perfectly to the old material.
Next, we apply a special bonding agent that acts like a super-strong glue for the new coat. We then spray several layers of a premium acrylic resin coating over the entire surface. This advanced liquid compound cures into a rock-hard, glossy shell that looks just like pristine porcelain. The final result is a beautiful, smooth basin that feels incredibly clean and fresh.
This whole project usually takes just a few hours from start to finish. Once we pack up our tools, you only have to wait a day or two before you can enjoy a relaxing soak. It is a fast, clean, and highly effective way to modernize your bathroom on a budget.
If you have ever tried to remove an old cast iron tub, you know it is a complete nightmare. You often have to break the old fixture into pieces with a sledgehammer just to get it out the door. On top of that, you usually end up damaging the surrounding walls, plumbing, and floor tiles during the process.
When you choose our professional recoating service, you avoid all that unnecessary destruction. We do all the work right where the fixture sits, meaning your plumbing stays completely untouched. You do not have to hire expensive plumbers or tile contractors to patch up the aftermath of a demolition. This keeps your home clean and prevents unexpected repair bills from popping up.
To help you compare your options, we put together this handy table showing the differences between the two methods:
| Factor | Our Refinishing Service | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually done in 4 to 6 hours | Can take several days or weeks |
| Mess & Dust | Minimal, we mask off the area | Heavy dust, debris, and noise |
| Plumbing Work | No changes needed to existing pipes | Often requires costly pipe relocation |
As you can see, opting for a professional face-lift for your fixture is the obvious choice for smart homeowners. You get a gorgeous, clean look without the stress of a major construction zone in your home.

Did you know this vibrant border area is home to over sixty thousand residents who value honest, quality work? With a median household income of around thirty-one thousand dollars, finding ways to save money on home maintenance is crucial. We work hard to keep our prices fair so everyone in ZIP codes like 78582, 78584, and 78548 can afford a beautiful home. You do not have to live with an ugly, stained washing basin just because times are tough.
Because we live and work in this community, we treat your home with the utmost respect. We arrive on time, protect your floors, and clean up every bit of trash before we leave. Supporting local families with top-tier craftsmanship is what keeps our business thriving year after year.
Once we finish our work, we want your beautiful new surface to last for many years to come. The secret to longevity lies in how you clean the glossy finish. You must avoid abrasive scrubbing powders, steel wool, or harsh bleach solutions because they can scratch the shiny topcoat. Over time, those tiny scratches will trap dirt and make the surface look dull and dirty again.
Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap, a damp sponge, or non-abrasive liquid bathroom cleaners. These gentle cleaners easily wipe away soap scum without hurting the protective acrylic layer. Taking care of your restored fixture is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous porcelain tub. A quick wipe down after your shower will keep it shining like a diamond.
If you follow these simple guidelines, your renewed basin can easily last for a decade or more. It is an investment that truly pays off by adding instant value to your property. You will feel proud to show off your clean, sparkling bathroom to guests and family members alike.
Are you ready to say goodbye to that ugly, stained bathing area once and for all? Our friendly team is standing by to help you plan your budget-friendly bathroom upgrade. We make the entire process easy, from the very first phone call to the final inspection of our work. You do not have to put up with an embarrassing bathroom for another single day.

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