A dull or chipped tub in Westminster 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.

Most homeowners assume that replacing a damaged basin is a simple weekend chore. However, once you start ripping out the old unit, you inevitably damage the surrounding tiles, drywall, and subfloor. This chain reaction of destruction forces you to hire tile installers and drywall pros, which balloons your budget instantly. Our specialized surface restoration process bypasses this financial headache entirely by working with what you already have in place.
By choosing this refinishing route, you keep your original heavy-duty fixture while updating its color to a clean, modern white. This clever choice keeps tons of heavy debris out of our local landfills. On top of that, you get to use your upgraded shower again in a matter of days, not weeks. It is the ultimate shortcut to a beautiful washroom that feels incredibly fresh and clean.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick look at how our process stacks up against a full replacement:
| Factor | Full Replacement | Our Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | Typically 1 to 2 weeks of construction | Finished in less than 24 hours |
| Mess and Demolition | High dust, broken tiles, heavy noise | Virtually none, fully contained work area |
| Total Cost | Extremely high due to plumbing and tile repairs | Very affordable, saving you up to 70% |
First, we meticulously clean the entire surface using industrial-strength agents to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures the new materials bond permanently to the original substrate. If we find any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks, we patch them up with specialized fillers. After everything is completely smooth, we mask off your walls and vanity to protect them from any overspray.
Next, we apply a high-tech bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old surface and the new coating. We then spray multiple layers of an advanced acrylic polymer finish using specialized high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This precise technique creates a deep, rich luster that looks just like expensive fired porcelain. Finally, we clean up our workspace thoroughly, leaving your home looking better than we found it.
Which means you get a gorgeous, uniform shine that resists stains and handles daily scrubbings with ease. You do not have to worry about peeling or bubbling because our bonding agents are top-grade. Our local crew takes pride in doing things right the first time, ensuring your peace of mind.
We only use premium aliphatic acrylic urethanes because they offer the absolute best impact resistance and color retention on the market. These commercial-grade coatings are vastly superior to the cheap DIY kits you find at big-box home improvement stores. Our materials cure to a rock-hard finish that shrugs off moisture and household cleaners effortlessly.
This professional-grade durability translates directly to a longer lifespan for your fixture, saving you money down the road. You get a non-porous surface that is much easier to wipe clean, reducing your weekly chore time. It is a win-win for busy homeowners who want maximum beauty with minimal maintenance.
Those cheap box kits use simple epoxy paints that roll on with a brush, leaving ugly streak marks all over your tub. Without professional etching acids and mechanical ventilation, the paint cannot stick properly and will peel off within a few months. Our specialized spray system guarantees a smooth, factory-like glaze that DIY methods simply cannot replicate.
Save yourself the double expense of buying a cheap kit and then paying us to strip it off later. We have the safety gear, the high-end sprayers, and the years of hands-on experience to deliver a flawless result. Let us handle the sticky, smelly work while you sit back and relax.
We love working in our charming corner of Oconee County, where many homes feature beautiful character but outdated bathrooms. Whether you live in a classic bungalow near the historic train depot or a newer home, we understand the local plumbing quirks of this region. With a modest local median household income of around $34,000, saving money on home renovations is incredibly important for our neighbors.
Our cost-effective services help property owners protect their investments without draining their savings accounts. We proudly serve the entire 29693 ZIP code, bringing our mobile restoration workshop right to your driveway. Since our population of 2,512 residents values hard work and honesty, we treat every single home with the utmost respect.
This commitment to our local community means we never cut corners or use sub-par materials on your project. We want you to tell your friends and family about your beautiful bathroom transformation. Supporting local homeowners is the heartbeat of our business, and we are always just a quick drive away.
Now that your fixture looks incredibly bright and clean, you want to keep it that way for the next decade. The golden rule of maintenance is to avoid abrasive cleaning powders and scratchy scrubbing pads at all costs. Instead, use mild liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners with a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple care routine prevents micro-scratches that can trap dirt and dull the beautiful gloss over time. You should also fix any leaky faucets promptly, as constant dripping can wear down even the toughest finishes. By showing your newly coated surface a little love, it will reward you with lasting beauty for years.
On top of that, we recommend removing suction-cup bathmats, which can trap water underneath and damage the bond. Use a safety mat designed specifically for refinished surfaces instead to keep your family safe. These quick, easy adjustments ensure your bathroom remains a highlight of your home.
Do not spend another day shivering in a dingy, stained shower that makes you feel uncomfortable in your own home. Our friendly team is ready to answer all your questions and provide a clear, honest assessment of your fixture. We offer completely free, no-obligation quotes so you can make the best decision for your budget.
Whether your basin is made of cast iron, pressed steel, or fiberglass, we have the skills to make it look brand new. We work quickly and cleanly, ensuring your daily routine faces minimal disruption. Take the first step toward a beautiful, stain-free washroom right now by reaching out to our local team.
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 Westminster, 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.
