A dull or chipped tub in Varnado 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.
Your old tub looks absolutely terrible right now.
Which means you probably hate taking baths or even looking at that stained, chipped surface every single morning.
Fortunately, you can completely renew that worn-out fixture today without paying thousands of dollars for a messy demolition project.
Our professional crew brings back the original shine of your bathing basin right where it sits.
This process saves you a mountain of cash compared to traditional remodeling.
If you want to see how affordable this transformation is, we will gladly give you a free estimate today.
Getting this done takes just a few hours.
Actually, your bathroom remains fully usable again in just a couple of days.
You will love how the smooth surface feels under your feet when you step in for a shower.
Many homeowners assume that a ugly tub requires a sledgehammer to fix.
However, we apply a durable, high-gloss liquid acrylic coating directly over your existing cast iron or fiberglass basin.
This specialized method seals up microscopic pores where mold and grime love to hide away from your scrub brush.
Think about the massive headache of hiring plumbers and tile guys.
Instead, our local technicians handle the entire transformation from start to finish.
We carefully mask off your bathroom walls to keep your home perfectly clean during the process.
Our deep roots in Washington Parish mean we treat your home like our own.
Because our small community of under five hundred residents deserves high-quality work, we never cut corners on prep work.
We understand the local water conditions and how they impact plumbing fixtures over time.
First, we strip away old DIY paint jobs and chemical residues from the basin.
This step is crucial because the new coating will not stick to a dirty surface.
We then repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks using industrial-strength fillers.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that fuses the new finish to the old material.
On top of that, we spray multiple layers of a premium acrylic topcoat.
The result looks identical to a brand new porcelain fixture straight from the factory showroom.
| Step in the Process | What We Do | Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Prep | Acid etching and deep cleaning | Ensures the new finish sticks forever |
| Damage Repair | Filling chips, scratches, and rust spots | Creates a perfectly smooth, level basin |
| Bonding Agent | Applying molecular primer | Prevents peeling and bubbling later on |
| Topcoat Spray | Applying multiple acrylic layers | Delivers a beautiful, high-gloss shine |
Replacing a tub often forces you to rip out surrounding wall tiles and flooring.
Naturally, this turns a simple update into a multi-week construction nightmare.
Our fast process avoids all that chaos while giving you the exact same visual upgrade.
Budgeting for home repairs in Louisiana can be tough when the median household income sits around $25,536.
Which is why we keep our prices highly competitive and affordable for everyone.
You get a gorgeous bathroom upgrade without draining your savings account or taking out loans.
Older tubs are often made of heavy cast iron that retains heat much better than modern plastic replacements.
By restoring the surface, you keep that superior, heavy-duty material in your home.
You get to enjoy warmer baths for much longer periods of time.
Tossing a giant cast iron tub into a landfill is terrible for our environment.
By choosing restoration, you keep bulky waste out of local dump sites.
This eco-friendly choice reduces your carbon footprint while upgrading your living space.
Our process uses modern, low-VOC materials that cure quickly without leaving harsh odors in your hallways.
This means your family can breathe easy while we do the work.
We always set up professional ventilation systems to draw fumes directly out of your windows.
Maintaining your shiny new finish is actually much easier than cleaning an old, worn-out surface.
Since the new acrylic layer is completely non-porous, dirt washes away with simple soap and water.
You can throw away those harsh, abrasive bleaching powders that scratch up your plumbing fixtures.
Using a soft sponge and a mild liquid cleaner will keep the shine bright for years.
This simple routine prevents soap scum build-up without requiring any hard scrubbing.
You save precious time and energy on weekend chores.
We recommend avoiding suction-cup bath mats because they can pull on the new finish over time.
Instead, we can apply a permanent slip-resistant texture to the bottom of the basin during the restoration process.
This safety feature protects your family from slips and falls without damaging the beautiful coating.
Be careful with dripping faucets because constant water drops can eventually wear down any finish.
Fixing minor plumbing leaks before we arrive ensures your new surface stays perfect for a decade.
Our team can inspect your fixtures during our initial visit to make sure everything is ready.
Keep harsh chemicals like nail polish remover or drain cleaners away from the restored area.
These strong solvents can dull the high-gloss shine if spilled.
If you treat the surface with care, it will look fantastic for up to fifteen years.

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 Varnado, 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.
