All over Terrebonne Parish, 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.

Many folks do not realize that you can actually coat an existing porcelain or fiberglass basin with a high-tech protective layer. This specialized method involves deep cleaning, repairing deep chips, and applying a bonding agent before spraying on an acrylic coating. As a result, you get a ultra-smooth surface that resists stains and looks incredibly bright.
Because we use commercial-grade bonding agents, the new finish fuses directly to the old substrate on a molecular level. Which means your newly coated basin will not peel or crack under normal use. You will enjoy a gorgeous, high-gloss shine that mimics brand new porcelain perfectly.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick breakdown of how our process stacks up against a traditional replacement:
| Factor | Professional Surface Resurfacing | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, usually saving up to 70% | Highly expensive due to plumbing and tile work |
| Time to Complete | Done in about 4 to 6 hours | Can take several days or even weeks |
| Mess & Dust | Minimal, we mask off the whole room | Extreme demolition dust and debris |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 years with proper care | Decades, but at a massive upfront cost |
Now, you can see why so many local homeowners prefer this smart shortcut. It simply makes sense for your wallet and your sanity. We love seeing the shocked looks on our clients' faces when they see the final transformation.
Living down here in Terrebonne Parish means dealing with unique humidity levels that can affect how coatings cure. Our crew understands the local climate perfectly, adjusting our ventilation and drying times to ensure a flawless finish every single time. This attention to detail ensures your new finish bonds tightly and lasts for years to come.
Whether you reside in a cozy bungalow or a spacious family home in Houma or surrounding bayou communities, we treat your property with absolute respect. Since this southern Louisiana region boasts a rich history and beautiful older homes, we often save vintage cast iron tubs that are simply irreplaceable. You get to preserve that classic charm while enjoying a pristine, easy-to-clean surface.
Our local clients appreciate that we do not cut corners during the prep phase. We thoroughly etch the old enamel so the new coating has a rough surface to grip onto. After that, we apply multiple layers of premium topcoat for maximum durability.
Once we complete the job, maintaining that brilliant luster is actually incredibly easy if you follow a few simple rules. You must avoid abrasive cleaners like bleach powder or harsh scrubbing pads because they can dull the shiny finish over time. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or specialized spray cleaners with a soft sponge.
This simple care routine keeps the surface looking slick and prevents soap scum from building up. Consequently, you will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees. It is all about enjoying a low-maintenance lifestyle while keeping your home looking beautiful.
You might see cheap paint-on kits at your local home improvement store and wonder if you should try it yourself. However, those retail products usually consist of cheap epoxy paint that rolls on with a brush, leaving ugly brush marks and bubbles. On top of that, they lack the professional bonding agents needed to prevent peeling after just a few months of hot baths.
When you hire our team, we use professional spray equipment that creates a factory-smooth finish without any streaks. This ensures you do not end up with a peeling mess that costs even more money to strip and fix later. Doing it right the first time saves you a ton of stress and cash.
First, we carefully mask off your floors, walls, and fixtures with protective paper and plastic sheets to prevent any overspray. After that, we set up a heavy-duty exhaust fan in the window to pull all the fumes and dust out of your home. This keeps your indoor air clean and ensures your family stays comfortable throughout the quick process.
Next, we tackle any physical damage like rusty spots, deep scratches, or chipped areas using a specialized waterproof filler. We sand these spots completely flat so they disappear under the new topcoat. This meticulous preparation is the real secret behind our beautiful, seamless results.
Finally, we spray on the chemical bonding agent followed by several coats of our premium acrylic urethane. The entire process takes less than a day, and you can usually use your beautiful, refreshed tub within 24 to 48 hours. It is truly the fastest way to upgrade your bathroom without living in a construction zone.
Are you ready to say goodbye to that ugly, stained, or outdated color scheme in your bathroom? Our friendly team is standing by to help you plan your project and answer any questions you might have about the process. We will gladly visit your home to inspect your fixture and provide a detailed, no-obligation written quote.

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.
