A dull or chipped tub in The Hills 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.
Thinking about updating your tired old bathroom fixture without spending a absolute fortune? You can get a fresh glossy finish right away without smashing any tiles!
Naturally, nobody wants to spend weeks with contractors tearing up their house. Actually, opting for a professional chemical bonding recoating process saves you thousands of dollars while keeping your daily routine completely normal.
Fortunately, this specialized process works wonders on chipped porcelain and worn acrylic surfaces. Consequently, your heavy old tub gets a slick leak-proof seal that repels nasty soap scum effortlessly.
Additionally, saving your original fixture keeps solid cast iron out of local landfills forever. Truthfully, older heavy tubs retain water heat way better than cheap modern plastic tubs off the shelf!
First, we scuff down the damaged factory glaze using strong acid etching liquids. Next, this vital prep step creates millions of microscopic grooves so our liquid polymer sticks tight.
Subsequently, we apply heavy duty resin coatings using professional high volume air sprayers. As a result, the deep rich sheen makes your whole room look instantly upgraded and super clean.
Furthermore, our multi-stage procedure seals tiny invisible cracks before they cause giant water leaks downstairs. Truly, you get a bright waterproof barrier that cleans up with basic mild liquid soap.
| Stage | What We Do | Your Concrete Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Prep & Etch | Deep clean and acid etch glaze | Stops future peeling before it starts |
| Repair | Fill all chips with epoxy filler | Restores a completely smooth touch |
| Topcoat | Spray commercial acrylic resin | Delivers a sparkling long lasting shine |
Clearly, doing this whole job takes just a few short hours from start to finish. Therefore, you can literally take a relaxing bath in your transformed room the very next evening!
Undoubtedly, full bathroom tearing out creates massive messy stress for weeks on end. Plus, hiring plumbers and tile installers burns through thousands of extra dollars real fast.
Surprisingly, simple chemical resurfacing costs a tiny fraction of a full construction remodel. Thus, you keep your hard-earned money right in your pocket while still getting stunning high end results!
Besides, local homes around Travis County often feature solid original architecture worth preserving forever. Indeed, keeping original cast iron maintains high property value without adding unnecessary scrap waste.
Honestly, dirty rusty drain rings drive most homeowners totally insane after a while. Happily, our thick polymer barrier buries ugly rust spots permanently under multiple tough modern synthetic layers.
Lately, maybe you noticed terrible spiderweb cracks spreading along your slick bottom basin floor? Thankfully, flexible liquid epoxy compounds weld those deep dangerous cracks solid before major leaks ruin your subfloor drywall.
Remember, trying cheap DIY store paint kits almost always ends up in a huge peeling disaster... In fact, retail paints simply lack the structural chemical bonds required to withstand constant boiling hot bathwater.
Ultimately, fixing these annoying visual flaws restores total peace of mind every time you walk inside. Consequently, your worn bathing spot feels luxurious and brand new again without high replacement costs!
Interestingly, local water properties near ZIP code 78738 carry unique mineral profiles that test household coatings constantly. Specifically, heavy calcium deposits quickly scrub away factory slickness over several years of frequent usage.
Luckily, high grade synthetic urethanes resist mineral buildup much better than older porcelain factory glazes. Specifically, water drops roll right off the slippery top seal without leaving those hard white ring marks!
Furthermore, families living near local greenbelts inside this wealthy enclave with a high $160,000 median income appreciate fast neat home upgrades. Naturally, clean quick dustless work respects your tight schedule and keeps your private sanctuary spotless throughout the project.
Obviously, purchasing a new tub sounds easy until you start measuring tight door frames! Inevitably, big demolition crews end up smashing door jambs and ripping out expensive custom tile borders.
Conversely, our neat on-site technique leaves every surrounding wall tile and floor edge totally untouched! Hence, you completely avoid paying expensive tile masons to patch up smashed walls afterward.
| Project Factor | Full Tub Replacement | Our Advanced Recoating |
|---|---|---|
| Time Required | 3 to 7 days of chaos | About 4 to 5 hours total |
| Mess Factor | Plaster dust everywhere | Zero structural dust or debris |
| Total Cost | Extremely high budget | Super affordable rates |
| Usability | Off limits for weeks | Ready in just 24 hours |
Clearly, resurfacing offers the most practical path forward for busy working households today. Indeed, saving time and avoiding construction mess makes this choice an easy win for every homeowner!
Naturally, looking after your newly coated slick basin requires zero complicated maintenance routines at all. Specifically, you just wipe down the smooth glossy walls using soft sponges and non-abrasive liquid soap.
However, never use harsh bleach powders or rough green scrubbing pads on synthetic resins! Because, abrasive cleaners scratch microscopic grooves into the shiny glaze and reduce its brilliant wet gloss finish.
On top of that, dropping sharp metal items or heavy iron pots can chip any coated surface... Therefore, placing a soft silicone mat down when washing pets protects your smooth floor basin against pet claws.
Granted, spraying high solid urethanes demands specialized ventilation equipment and heavy safety gear. Specifically, expert technicians know exactly how to pull chemical vapors safely outside your windows during application.
Additionally, proper surface etching demands careful handling of toxic professional prep chemicals. Because, missing a tiny grease spot during prep causes huge peeling bubbles to form later on!
Furthermore, local contractors understand regional plumbing quirks found across this tight-knit community of 2,559 residents. Therefore, hiring a true local tradesman guarantees reliable punctuality and respectful clean service from start to finish.
Initially, you just snap a couple quick pictures of your current damaged bathing basin on your phone. Next, send those photos over to us so we can inspect the overall chip damage and surface wear.
Then, we calculate an exact flat quote without any annoying hidden surprise charges later on! Thus, you know precisely what the full restoration costs long before we touch a single tool.
Finally, we pick a convenient installation day that fits your busy schedule seamlessly without disruption. Which means, you are just one short phone call away from a clean drop dead gorgeous bathroom!
So, stop staring at that tired rusty basin and let us make it look brand new today... Contact us right now to book your free estimate and transform your home for cheap!
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 The Hills, 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.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
