A dull or chipped tub in Westway 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.
You wake up every single morning only to stare at that ugly, stained tub in your bathroom. Honestly, those stubborn rust spots and tiny hairline cracks can easily ruin your mood before you even brush your teeth. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to fix this annoying eyesore.
Instead, a professional local surface restoration specialist can visit your home to spray a shiny, durable new coating over your existing fixture. This clever process makes your old, chipped tub look brand new again in just a few hours. Plus, you will save a mountain of cash compared to the high cost of buying a brand new replacement unit.
By choosing this smart option, you avoid the giant headache of hiring plumbers to rip out your drywall and subflooring. Our team of skilled technicians specializes in reviving these worn surfaces right inside your home. To make things even better, we will gladly provide a completely free estimate so you know the exact price beforehand.
Many homeowners confuse this specialized process with cheap DIY painting kits that you buy at the local hardware store. However, those retail brush-on paints almost always peel off within a few months because they lack professional-grade bonding agents. Our multi-step procedure involves applying a high-tech synthetic porcelain coating that fuses directly to your old cast iron or fiberglass.
To start, we thoroughly clean the area using industrial strength acid-free cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and body oils. After that, we repair any deep gouges, chips, or cracks with a heavy-duty waterproof filler. This meticulous preparation ensures that the new topcoat adheres flawlessly to the original substrate for a long-lasting finish.
Next, we spray a specialized molecular bonding agent which acts like a super-strong glue between the old surface and the new glaze. Finally, we apply multiple layers of an advanced acrylic urethane resin using a professional HVLP spray gun. This leaves you with a gorgeous, high-gloss shine that feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
Choosing to restore your current setup offers several huge advantages that go way beyond just saving a quick buck. For starters, the entire project takes less than a single day to complete from start to finish. This means you can actually use your upgraded bathroom again after just twenty-four to forty-eight hours of curing time.
On the other hand, a full remodel often drags on for weeks while you wait for permits, plumbers, and inspectors. During that chaotic time, your home becomes a noisy dusty construction zone filled with strangers. By opting for our service, you keep your daily routine completely intact while achieving the exact same visual result.
To help you compare your options, let us look at how these two paths stack up against each other:
| Feature to Consider | Professional Surface Restoration | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually done in 4 to 6 hours | Can take anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks |
| Mess and Dust Level | Minimal mess, fully contained area | Massive amount of drywall dust and debris |
| Plumbing Changes | No plumbing modifications needed | Requires costly pipe relocation and permits |
As you can see, keeping your original fixture saves you time, money, and a massive amount of unnecessary stress. Which means you can spend your hard-earned dollars on other important home improvement projects instead. On top of that, you keep heavy construction waste out of our local Texas landfills.
Whether you have an antique clawfoot relic or a modern alcove setup, this process works beautifully on almost any material. For example, old heavy cast iron tubs are incredibly durable but their outer porcelain layer eventually wears thin and stains. Our premium coatings restore that classic, heavy-duty luster without requiring you to haul a three-hundred-pound beast down your stairs.
If you have a newer home, you likely have a lightweight fiberglass or acrylic shower unit installed. Over time, these flexible materials tend to flex, crack, and develop unsightly yellow stains that bleach simply cannot remove. Our team can easily patch those weak spots, reinforce the bottom floor, and spray a fresh protective coating over the whole unit.
Even if you have a tiled wall surround surrounding your tub, we can coat the tiles at the same time. This handy option lets you completely update your outdated tile color scheme without the mess of ripping out old grout. Consequently, your entire bathroom looks brighter, cleaner, and much more modern without a single tile being broken.
Once our skilled technicians finish spraying your new coating, you will want to keep it looking shiny for many years. Thankfully, maintaining this fresh finish is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous surface. Because the new non-porous barrier resists dirt, you do not need to use abrasive scouring powders or harsh scrub sponges anymore.
Actually, using abrasive chemicals like bleach or gritty cleansers will dull the beautiful high-gloss shine over time. Instead, you simply wipe down the surface with a mild liquid dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth. This gentle cleaning routine keeps the protective barrier intact and ensures your gloss stays bright for up to a decade.
Additionally, we highly recommend avoiding the use of cheap suction-cup bath mats on your newly refinished floor. The constant pulling action from those little suction cups can slowly weaken the bond of the coating over time. If you need extra traction, we can easily apply a permanent slip-resistant texture directly into the glaze during our application process.
We are proud to serve the hardworking residents of our local community, which sits right along the scenic border region. With a population of about 3,552 people and a modest median household income of $32,091, we know the value of a dollar. Our affordable services are designed to help local families upgrade their homes without breaking the bank.

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 Westway, 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.
