A dull or chipped tub in West Fork 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 ugly, stained basin in your bathroom probably makes you want to close the door and pretend it does not exist. Fortunately, our team of local specialists can completely renew that worn-out surface right inside your home. Refinishing your old tub saves you thousands of dollars and avoids the absolute nightmare of tearing out your walls.
When you first think about fixing up a gross bathroom, your brain probably goes straight to demolition. However, ripping out a heavy cast iron or steel basin usually means destroying your beautiful tile work. You will also have to pay a plumber a fortune just to hook up the new drain pipe.
This means a simple project quickly turns into a massive financial headache. On top of that, cheap modern replacements often feel flimsy and lose their warmth fast. Keeping your original, sturdy fixture is almost always the smartest move for your wallet.
Our specialized surface restoration process breathes brand new life into your existing setup in just a few hours. Since we apply a high-tech bonding agent directly to the prepped area, the new finish sticks like glue. You get a gorgeous, glossy wash basin that looks like it came straight from the showroom floor.
Many folks assume we just slap a fresh coat of hardware store paint over the dirt and call it a day. Actually, doing that would cause the whole thing to peel off the very first time you take a hot shower. Our actual process is highly detailed and requires serious safety gear and patience.
First, we meticulously clean the area with specialized industrial acid cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum. Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks with a heavy-duty waterproof filler. This step ensures the final coat lays down perfectly flat without any weird bumps or dips.
After the prep work is complete, we spray on a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses with the old porcelain. Then, we apply several layers of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat using professional spray equipment. This creates a non-porous barrier that resists stains and looks incredibly shiny for years to come.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time to Complete | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | 3 to 7 Days | Extremely Dusty |
| Acrylic Liner Insert | Medium-High | 1 Day | Low but traps moisture |
| Professional Resurfacing | Very Affordable | 4 to 6 Hours | Very Low |
Choosing this smart update method means you can use your bathroom again in a day or two. Since we do not tear down any drywall, your home stays completely free of toxic plaster dust. This is a massive relief for anyone with asthma or pets running around the house.
Another major plus is how incredibly easy the new non-porous surface is to wipe clean. You can finally throw away those harsh abrasive scrubbing powders that scratch up your finish. A simple wipe down with a mild liquid soap keeps it looking brand new.
To top it all off, this process is way better for the environment than buying new. By restoring what you already own, you keep heavy cast iron and fiberglass out of our local landfills. It is a rare win-win situation where you save money while also doing a little good for the planet.
You might see those little box kits at the local home improvement shop and think about trying it yourself. Honestly, those cheap epoxy paints usually turn yellow and start peeling within six months of application. They lack the professional bonding agents and spray tools needed for a truly smooth, durable finish.
Our crew uses commercial-grade ventilation systems to pull the strong chemical fumes completely out of your home while we work. This keeps your family safe from breathing in nasty vapors during the curing process. We also offer a solid warranty on our work, which is something a cardboard box kit definitely cannot give you.
We love helping folks upgrade their homes in this beautiful corner of the Ozarks. Whether you live in a cozy spot near the middle of town or out in the quiet countryside, we come straight to your door. Our neighbors deserve high-quality home services without having to pay big-city prices.
If you live around the 72774 ZIP code, you already know how fast our local area is growing. With a median household income of $49,583, finding smart ways to stretch your home renovation dollar is incredibly important. Our affordable services help the 2,581 residents of West Fork, Arkansas keep their historic homes looking fresh without breaking the bank.
Whether your property is a classic older home near the high school or a newer build closer to the river, we have you covered. We treat every single home with the utmost respect, cleaning up after ourselves so you do not have to. You get premium results from friendly people who actually care about our local community.
Once our team finishes the job, you will want to protect your investment for the long haul. The absolute best way to do this is by avoiding suction-cup bath mats, which can pull at the new coating. Instead, we can apply a built-in slip-resistant texture to the bottom of the basin during the spraying process.
Always remember to skip the bleach and abrasive scrubbing pads when it is time to clean up. Simple dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner will easily slide any dirt right down the drain. If you treat the new surface with just a little bit of care, it will stay bright and beautiful for over a decade.

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 West Fork, 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.
