A dull or chipped tub in Watha 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.

Replacing a built-in tub often turns into a remodeling nightmare because you have to tear out surrounding tiles and plumbing fixtures. This chaotic process frequently reveals hidden water damage behind the walls, which skyrockets your final bill. On top of that, hiring plumbers, tilers, and trash haulers adds extra stress and unexpected delays to your week. Our smart restoration method completely bypasses these headaches by keeping your original fixture right where it belongs.
By opting for a professional surface renewal, you save up to seventy percent of the cost of a full replacement. You can pocket those savings or use them for other home improvement projects around your property. Our high-tech coating bonds at a molecular level, creating a thick, glossy shield that looks identical to factory-fresh porcelain. This means you get the same beautiful look without the weeks of construction noise and mess.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple breakdown of how our refinishing service stacks up against a full tear-out:
| Feature | Our Refinishing Service | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Project Duration | Only 4 to 6 hours | Up to 2 weeks of chaos |
| Average Cost | Very affordable | Extremely expensive |
| Mess and Dust | Virtually none | Heavy construction debris |
| Plumbing Changes | No alterations needed | Often requires costly upgrades |
Choosing the smarter route lets you enjoy your updated space in just a couple of days. We take pride in our meticulous preparation, which ensures the new finish sticks perfectly and never peels. Our local team is ready to visit your home and give you a detailed, honest quote without any hidden fees.
First, we clean the surface with specialized solutions to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. This critical step ensures the new materials grip the old surface with maximum strength. Next, we carefully repair any cracks, chips, or rust spots using heavy-duty fillers that dry rock-hard in minutes. We then sand the area flat so the final finish looks incredibly smooth and feels completely seamless under your touch.
After finishing the repairs, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to block any overspray. We also set up a powerful ventilation system to pull odors and dust out of your home while we work. This setup keeps your indoor air clean and ensures your family stays comfortable throughout the quick process. Once the safety prep is complete, we apply a specialized bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of our premium topcoat, using professional equipment to achieve a flawless, mirror-like finish. This advanced compound cures quickly into a tough, non-porous barrier that shrugs off daily wear and tear. You get a beautiful, easy-to-clean washroom feature that stands up to hot water and bubbly scrubs. Our skilled technicians never rush this process, because we know that careful preparation is the secret to a job well done.
Many homeowners try cheap DIY paint kits from local hardware stores, only to regret it a few months later. Those store-bought epoxy kits brush on unevenly, leaving ugly brush marks and bubbles that trap dirt. They also tend to yellow, peel, and flake off when exposed to hot water and household cleaners. We use industrial-strength coatings that you cannot buy at a retail store, ensuring a beautiful result that lasts.
Our commercial-grade compounds maintain their brilliant color and glossy shine even after years of daily use. This high-end material mimics the depth and warmth of real porcelain, giving you a luxurious feel every time you bathe. You won't have to worry about the surface cracking or losing its luster under normal conditions. Investing in professional application saves you from the frustration of fixing a failed DIY attempt down the road.

Taking care of your newly coated fixture is incredibly simple and requires very little effort on your part. You just need to avoid abrasive scrubbing powders and harsh chemicals like bleach or heavy acids. Instead, wipe the surface down with a mild dish soap or a gentle, non-abrasive liquid cleaner. This simple routine keeps the gloss looking brand new and prevents micro-scratches from dulling the beautiful shine.
We also recommend using a soft microfiber cloth or a gentle sponge to wipe away water spots after you bathe. Keeping the surface dry prevents hard water minerals from building up and forming stubborn deposits over time. By following these easy guidelines, you can expect your gorgeous new finish to stay bright and durable for up to a decade. We always share these helpful tips with our customers to ensure they get the absolute most out of their 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 Watha, 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.
