Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about refinishing costs, process, durability, and service area
Pricing & Cost
A standard bathtub refinishing in Austin costs between $300 and $500. Factors include the bathtub size, material, and any repair work needed. This is 75–80% less than replacing a bathtub, which typically runs $2,000–$5,000 including labor and materials. Call us at (512) 788-0025 for a free estimate.
Yes, in most cases. If your bathtub is structurally sound but looks dated, stained, or chipped, reglazing restores it to like-new condition for a fraction of replacement cost. The professional coating lasts 15–20 years with proper care, and most customers save $2,000–$10,000 compared to replacement.
Tile refinishing typically costs $400–$800 depending on the square footage and condition. This covers wall and floor tile in bathrooms and kitchens. Compare this to tile replacement, which often runs $3,000–$8,000 for a full bathroom.

Process & Timing
Most refinishing jobs are completed in 4–6 hours on-site. The surface then cures for 24 hours before use. Compare that to full replacement, which takes 1–3 weeks with contractors in and out of your home.
You can use the bathroom for other purposes immediately, but the refinished surface needs 24 hours before any water contact. For best long-term results, we recommend waiting 48–72 hours before the first full use.
Very little. Just remove personal items like shampoos, soaps, and towels from the area. Our technician handles all surface preparation, masking, repairs, and cleanup.
Our technician cleans the surface, removes old caulk, repairs chips and cracks, masks all surrounding areas, applies a professional bonding primer, then spray-applies 2–3 coats of high-gloss topcoat. The whole process takes 4–6 hours on-site.
Results & Durability
With proper care — using non-abrasive cleaners and avoiding suction-cup bath mats left on the surface — a professionally refinished surface lasts 15–20 years. We provide a detailed care guide after every job.
Yes. We can refinish your bathtub in white, biscuit, almond, bone, and other colors. Color-matching to existing fixtures is also available. Changing a dated yellow or pink tub to a clean modern white is one of our most popular services.
Yes. Surface repair of chips, cracks, and damage is included in every refinishing job. Our technicians assess and fill the surface before applying the finish coat so the final result is smooth and uniform.
We back every job with a money-back guarantee. If there is any issue with adhesion or workmanship caused by our process, we return and fix it at no charge.
Materials & Safety
We refinish porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic, cast iron, cultured marble, and ceramic tile. This covers bathtubs, shower surrounds, tile walls, floor tile, countertops (laminate, tile, cultured marble), vanity tops, and sinks.
Yes. While coatings are being applied, we use proper ventilation. The smell dissipates within 24 hours. Once fully cured, the surface is completely inert and safe for all family members including children and pets.
Professional refinishing uses commercial-grade bonding primers and two-part polyurethane or acrylic topcoats, spray-applied by trained technicians with proper equipment. DIY brush-on kits typically use basic enamel that peels within 1–2 years. The quality and longevity are not comparable.
Use non-abrasive, mild liquid cleaners — dish soap or shower spray work great. Avoid bleach, abrasive scrubbers (Comet, Brillo pads), and bath mats with suction cups left on the surface long-term. We provide a full care guide with every job.
