A dull or chipped tub in Unionville 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.
Do you stare at your old, stained bathing basin and wish for a fresh start? Revamping your worn-out fixtures is a smart way to get a brand new look without spending a fortune on a total gut renovation.
Getting a pristine, glossy finish on your tub is surprisingly simple when you hire the right local help. Since you live in a place where folks appreciate a job well done, you deserve a space that feels fresh and inviting every single morning.
Most people think that ripping out an old tub is the only way to fix chips or dull colors. However, replacing a heavy iron tub involves massive demolition, expensive plumbing changes, and weeks of dust everywhere. That kind of headache is completely unnecessary when you consider that a trained professional can spray a high-tech coating right over your existing surface.
This process essentially saves you thousands of dollars while keeping your bathroom tile and walls perfectly intact. Think of it like giving your tub a permanent, hard-wearing facelift that keeps water and soap scum from sticking to the surface. Which means your cleaning routine becomes so much faster since you just wipe it down with a soft cloth.
First, a skilled worker comes to your home in the 37180 area to assess the condition of your porcelain or fiberglass unit. They will sand away the old, peeling layers and fill in any deep cracks that have appeared over time. This preparation stage is the most critical part of the entire operation.
Once the surface is smooth as glass, they apply a specialized primer that bonds the new material directly to the old tub. After that, they spray multiple coats of a tough, industrial-grade finish that cures until it is rock solid. You get a result that looks just like new porcelain but at a tiny fraction of the cost.
The population of our small town is just over two thousand people, which means we all value local craftsmanship. When you keep your home in good shape, you boost your property value and make your daily life much more pleasant. Nobody wants to soak in a tub that looks yellow, rough, or downright dirty.
Besides saving money, you are helping the environment by keeping old materials out of the local landfill. It is a win for your wallet and a win for our beautiful Tennessee surroundings. On top of that, the process takes only a single day, letting you get back to your normal routine without delay.
| Feature | Replacement | Surface Renewal | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | High | Very Low | |
| Time | Weeks | One Day | |
| Mess | Extreme | None | |
| Durability | Same | Excellent |
As you can see from this table, the choice is pretty obvious when you want to avoid a massive mess. Replacing a unit requires permits, contractors, and expensive plumbing work that can easily lead to hidden leaks. Our local method stays focused on the existing shell, which keeps your plumbing system secure and undisturbed.
Many people fear that a new coating will peel off after a few months of use. This only happens if someone tries to do a DIY kit they bought at a big box store. Those kits are usually weak and do not bond well with the original material.
Our professional grade materials are specifically designed to handle high moisture and temperature swings inside your bathroom. They become part of the structure rather than just a layer of paint sitting on top. This level of quality creates a sense of total ease every time you step into your tub.
Before the technician arrives, please clear out all your personal items like soaps, shampoos, and washcloths. It helps if you can keep the bathroom window open or turn on the exhaust fan to help with ventilation. A clean workspace allows the professional to focus entirely on the delicate task of spraying the finish.
You should also ensure that no water drips into the tub while the work is happening. A single stray drop could ruin the smoothness of the final coat, and we want your finish to be absolutely perfect. Once the job is done, you just need to wait for the curing time before you enjoy your beautiful, refreshed space.
Even if your household income is around the average for our area, you might feel hesitant about home improvement costs. That is why we provide a free estimate for every single job we take on. You get to see the exact numbers before any work starts so you can plan your finances with total confidence.
Having a clear price allows you to decide if this is the right moment to upgrade your home. We believe in being honest and direct about what you can expect, including the time it takes to finish the project. This transparency is why so many neighbors trust us with their bathroom projects year after year.
Once your tub looks like it was just installed yesterday, you want to keep it that way. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool pads that could scratch the new finish. A simple mix of mild liquid soap and water is all you really need to keep the tub sparkling.
If you take care of the surface properly, it can stay beautiful for a decade or more. That is a long time to enjoy a bathroom that finally feels like a place of comfort and relaxation. You deserve to feel proud of your home, and we are here to make that happen for you.

Our team brings all the equipment right to your door, so you never have to worry about picking up supplies. We take pride in our work and ensure that every single corner of your tub is perfectly covered. This focus on detail gives you a result that is both functional and nice to look at.
When you contact us, we work to find a time that fits your busy life perfectly. Most jobs are done in just a few hours, leaving your home clean and your bathroom ready for use shortly after. This speed is a huge advantage over the long, drawn-out process of a full renovation.

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 Unionville, 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.
