A dull or chipped tub in Surfside Beach 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 can completely transform your old bathroom today. This smart update saves you thousands of dollars instantly. Our local team offers a free estimate to make your home shine again.
Let us face the truth about home renovations. Pulling out an old cast iron or acrylic tub is a complete nightmare. It is loud, dusty, and takes forever. Surface restoration offers a brilliant alternative that saves your sanity. You avoid the high cost of plumbing work and messy drywall repairs. Instead, we apply a fresh, glossy finish right over your existing fixture.
This budget-friendly method works miracles on outdated colors. Maybe you are staring at a hideous avocado green or a faded beige from decades ago. Our process coats that ugly surface with a durable, sparkling layer. Your family gets a clean, bright space that looks brand new. The entire job takes only a single day of work.
Local homeowners love how fast we complete these projects. You do not have to wait weeks for contractors to finish the job. We arrive on time, seal off the room, and get to work. By the next day, you can step into a beautiful oasis. It feels amazing to get such a massive upgrade with zero hassle.
First, we clean the old fixture with specialized solutions to remove soap scum. This step is critical because any leftover oils will ruin the bond. We scrape away old caulk and fix any deep chips or rust spots. Our crew makes sure the foundation is completely smooth before we proceed.
Next, we apply a high-tech bonding agent to the prepped surface. This chemical primer acts like superglue for the new topcoat. After that, we spray multiple layers of an advanced acrylic polymer. This material cures into an incredibly hard, glossy shell. The final result looks just like premium porcelain.
Finally, we clean up our workspace and leave your home spotless. We explain how to care for your brand new surface so it lasts. You just need to avoid abrasive cleaners to keep it shiny. Our team loves seeing the shocked look on clients' faces when they see the transformation. It is like magic, but it is just smart craftsmanship.
| Project Phase | What We Do | Your Concrete Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Acid etching and chip repair | A perfectly flat, smooth surface |
| Bonding | Apply molecular primer | No peeling or bubbling later on |
| Finishing | Spray acrylic polymer coat | A gorgeous, high-gloss shine |
Think about what you could do with an extra three thousand dollars. Replacing a tub usually requires hiring expensive tile layers and plumbers. Our affordable refinishing service keeps those dollars in your pocket. You get the exact same look for a fraction of the cost.
This smart choice also protects your busy schedule. A full bathroom remodel can drag on for weeks and disrupt your daily routine. We complete our process in just a few hours. That means your family can get back to normal life almost immediately. We value your time and work efficiently to minimize any disruption.
Additionally, keeping your old fixture is great for the environment. Landfills are already packed with heavy cast iron tubs and fiberglass surrounds. Giving your current setup a beautiful face-lift prevents unnecessary waste. You can feel good about making an eco-friendly choice for your property. It is a win-win situation for your wallet and the planet.

Whether you live in a cozy cottage or a modern condo, we can help. Our local technicians understand the specific needs of homes in this region.

Small cracks in your tub can lead to major water damage over time. Moisture seeps through the cracks and rots the subfloor underneath. Our process seals those dangerous entry points completely. You protect your home from costly structural repairs down the road.
Rusty spots are not just ugly, they are also unsanitary. They scrape your skin and harbor nasty bacteria that are hard to clean. We grind away all the rust and treat the metal underneath. This stops the corrosion process in its tracks and keeps your family safe.
After we apply our protective barrier, cleaning becomes an absolute breeze. Mold and mildew have a hard time sticking to the non-porous surface. You can clean the whole thing with a simple wipe of a damp cloth. No more painful scrubbing on your hands and knees every weekend.

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 Surfside Beach, 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.
