A dull or chipped tub in Vinton 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 probably looks like a horror movie prop right now. Maybe it has some ugly stains that just will not scrub off no matter how much elbow grease you use. This means you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to fix it.
Fortunately, our local team can completely renew that worn-out finish right inside your home. We apply a durable, glossy liquid coating that bonds to your existing cast iron or steel fixture. Consequently, you get a beautiful, clean basin that looks brand new without the headache of hiring a team of plumbers.
Our specialized process saves you tons of cash and hours of cleanup time. Since we work right in your neighborhood, we can pop over to look at your setup today. Simply ask us for a free estimate to get your project moving forward without any stress.
Many folks confuse our process with those cheap plastic liners you see on TV. Those plastic shells actually trap water underneath and cause nasty mold to grow in your home. Instead, our method uses a liquid acrylic polyurethane that chemically bonds directly to your old enamel.
This advanced bonding process creates a completely seamless barrier against moisture and soap scum. First, we carefully clean the old porcelain with special acid cleaners to etch the surface. After that, we repair any deep chips or rust spots so the foundation is totally flat.
| Project Aspect | Full Replacement | Our Resurfacing Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High ($3,000 - $8,000) | Very Budget-Friendly |
| Time to Complete | 3 to 7 Days of Mess | Only 4 to 6 Hours |
| Demolition Needed | Yes, tears out walls | No demo required |
Once the prep work is complete, we spray multiple layers of primer and topcoat using high-tech spray guns. This meticulous application leaves you with a deep shine that feels incredibly smooth to the touch. Honestly, your guests will think you bought a brand new fixture from the home improvement store.
Living in this lovely corner of Roanoke County means enjoying a quiet, comfortable lifestyle. With a local population of about 8,074 residents, we really value our tight-knit community connections. We understand that local families, living on a median household income of $48,186, want affordable ways to improve their properties.
Replacing a whole bathing unit can drain your bank account faster than a broken pipe. Between paying plumbers, tile guys, and trash haulers, the costs quickly spiral out of control. Our affordable restoration option keeps your hard-earned dollars in your pocket while still giving you a gorgeous washroom.
Whether you live in the historic heart of town or near the outer edges of ZIP code 24179, we are ready to help. We travel directly to your doorstep with all our professional gear packed in our trucks. You do not have to lift a finger except to show us where the bathroom is.
Our chemical refinishing process seals up porous old surfaces where bacteria love to hide. This means your weekly bathroom cleaning routine becomes ten times easier because dirt just slides away. You will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals.
On top of that, you can change the outdated color of your old fixture to a bright, modern white. Maybe you currently have a dusty pink or avocado green tub from the nineteen-seventies. We can easily coat over those vintage colors with a fresh, crisp shade of white or almond.
This simple aesthetic upgrade instantly boosts the overall value of your entire home. If you plan to sell your house soon, a clean, bright bathroom attracts buyers like crazy. They will appreciate the clean look without realizing how little you actually spent to achieve it.
First, we protect your floors, walls, and vanity with heavy-duty drop cloths and plastic sheeting. This careful setup ensures that no overspray or dust lands on your personal belongings. We also install a powerful exhaust fan in the window to pull all the fumes outside.
Next, we use specialized compounds to fill in any deep scratches, pits, or gouges in the old metal. This step is super important because the final finish will only look as good as the prep work underneath. We take our time to make sure the surface is as flat as a sheet of glass.
Finally, we spray our industrial-grade coating in several thin, even layers to prevent any runs or drips. After we pack up our tools, you just need to let the new finish cure for a day or two. Soon after, you can peel off the tape and enjoy a long, relaxing soak in your beautiful tub.
To protect your new glossy finish, you must avoid using abrasive cleaners like Comet or Ajax. Those gritty powders will scratch the protective topcoat and dull the shine over time. Instead, use mild liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom sprays to keep it clean.
We also advise against using suction-cup bath mats because they can pull the new coating away from the drain. If you need extra traction, we can actually apply a permanent non-slip texture directly into the wet coating during our process. This built-in safety feature protects your family without damaging the beautiful new glaze.
With just a little bit of proper care, your restored surface will stay bright and shiny for over a decade. Our durable materials are designed to withstand daily hot showers without cracking, peeling, or yellowing. It is truly the smartest investment you can make for an aging washroom.
Are you ready to stop embarrassing yourself when guests ask to use your restroom? You do not have to live with a stained, rusty, or outdated wash basin anymore. Let our friendly local crew show you how easy and affordable a complete transformation can be.

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 Vinton, 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.
