A dull or chipped tub in Waggaman 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.
That dingy, stained basin in your bathroom probably makes you cringe every single time you walk past it. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to get a sparkling clean look. Our local crew specializing in surface refinishing can make your old fixture look brand new in just a few hours.
This budget-friendly process breathes fresh life into worn-out porcelain and fiberglass. Which means you can finally enjoy a relaxing soak without staring at ugly rust stains. We want to help you achieve that clean feeling today by offering a free estimate on your project.
Replacing a whole bathing unit often turns into a total nightmare because plumbers have to tear out walls and tile. Meanwhile, our smart alternative keeps your existing setup intact while completely transforming the outer layer. You save tons of money this way because you avoid costly disposal fees and long labor hours.
On top of that, the entire process takes less than a single day to finish. This lets you get back to your normal routine without enduring weeks of loud construction noise. Actually, most homeowners cannot even tell the difference between a brand new model and our finished work.
However, you must remember that this is not a simple DIY job you can tackle with a cheap kit from a big box store. Professional bonding agents and specialized spray equipment ensure the new coating sticks permanently without peeling. Our team brings years of hands-on experience to make sure the job gets done right the first time.
First, we meticulously clean the surface using industrial-strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step guarantees that the new materials will bond perfectly to the original substrate. After that, we repair any deep chips, scratches, or cracks with a heavy-duty polyester filler.
Next, we apply a specialized etching agent to create a microscopic texture on the old porcelain or acrylic. This process works like liquid sandpaper to make the new coating stick forever. Then, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic to keep your home safe from overspray.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of a high-tech aliphatic acrylic polyurethane gloss using specialized ventilation equipment. This premium topcoat cures into a rock-hard finish that looks incredibly shiny and feels completely smooth. As a result, your fixture gains a beautiful, durable shield that resists future staining and scratching.

Living near the Mississippi River means dealing with high humidity, which can sometimes make old bathroom fixtures wear down faster. Fortunately, our moisture-resistant coatings are specifically designed to withstand these tough local conditions. You can trust our crew to deliver a durable finish that stands up to daily wear and tear.
Once our technicians finish their work, caring for your shiny basin is actually incredibly easy. You should always avoid abrasive cleaners like Ajax or Comet because they will dull the shiny gloss over time. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner along with a soft sponge.
By following these simple guidelines, you can keep that brilliant shine looking fresh for up to fifteen years. Which means you will not have to worry about replacing your fixture anytime soon. Plus, keeping the surface clean becomes a total breeze because dirt cannot stick to the non-porous finish.
Occasionally, you might want to wipe down the edges with a dry towel after a hot shower. This simple habit prevents mineral deposits from building up and keeps the gloss looking pristine. Ultimately, a little bit of basic care goes a very long way in protecting your investment.

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 Waggaman, 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.
