CountBricks: Bathtub Refinishing Memphis Residential Pros

James Miller
Head of Sales

Why Bathtub Refinishing Matters for Memphis Homes

Memphis neighborhoods—from Cooper-Young bungalows to East Memphis ranches—contain thousands of bathrooms that were built decades ago. Dated colors, chipped enamel, and soap-scummed grout make a space feel tired even when the rest of the house has been modernized. Bathtub refinishing offers a smart, budget-friendly alternative to full replacement, and CountBricks brings industry-leading accuracy and speed to every project.

The CountBricks Difference in Bathtub Refinishing Memphis

AI-Powered Estimates
Our voice-driven platform captures on-site measurements in minutes, then instantly builds a line-item estimate that includes:

• Labor hours broken down by task (cleaning, etching, bonding, spraying, curing)
• Current Memphis material pricing sourced in real time
• Optional add-ons like slip-resistant texture, caulk replacement, and hardware swaps

Blueprint Takeoffs Without the Paper Cuts
Upload a bathroom plan or snap photos with your phone. CountBricks AI detects tub dimensions, wall surrounds, and plumbing points, then generates a complete takeoff you can trust.

Cost Breakdown: Refinishing vs. Replacement

1. Demo & Disposal: $0 with refinishing, $200–$400 with replacement
2. New Tub Purchase: $0 vs. $300–$1,200
3. Plumbing Reset: $0 vs. $250–$600
4. Average Total: $450–$650 refinishing vs. $1,500–$3,000 replacement

When you multiply those savings across dozens of units in a multifamily renovation—or even across two bathrooms in a single family home—the budget impact is enormous.

Step-by-Step CountBricks Refinishing Process

1. Voice-guided site walk-through captures tub size, material, and damage level.
2. AI produces a same-day digital quote. Approve online or request revisions.
3. Technician arrives, masks surfaces, and sets up a local exhaust fan to protect indoor air quality.
4. The old finish is stripped and etched to ensure primer adhesion.
5. High-bond epoxy primer is sprayed, followed by two coats of acrylic urethane.
6. Curing fans run for 24 hours. Your bathroom is usable the next morning.

Common Memphis Tub Materials We Refinish

• Porcelain-over-steel classics from mid-century homes
• Cast iron claw-foot tubs found in Midtown renovations
• Fiberglass one-piece units installed during 90s tract-home booms
• Acrylic soaking tubs in modern East Memphis builds

How Long Does a Refinished Tub Last?

With proper ventilation and non-abrasive cleaners, a CountBricks finish can look pristine for 10–15 years. Our residential warranty covers peeling or flaking for five years—double the local industry standard.

Pre-Project Checklist for Homeowners

• Clear toiletries and shower curtains
• Ensure pets are out of the work zone
• Verify bathroom outlet functionality for curing fans
• Plan for 24-hour downtime after spraying

Environmental Benefits

Every refinished tub keeps about 300 lbs of cast iron and porcelain out of Shelby County landfills. CountBricks’ low-VOC coatings meet or exceed EPA recommendations, protecting both your family and the planet.

Case Study: Historic Cooper-Young Revival

A 1920s bungalow in Cooper-Young had a beloved cast iron tub with deep chips and rust rings. The homeowners wanted to preserve its vintage charm without replacing it.

• CountBricks voice assessment captured dimensions and damage within five minutes.
• AI estimate: $575, including a slip-resistant finish and new brushed-nickel drain kit.
• Work completed in one afternoon; bathroom back in service by the next evening.
• Homeowner testimonial: “CountBricks saved our original tub—and our renovation budget.”

Pro Tips for Long-Lasting Results

• Clean with mild dish soap; avoid bleach powders that can dull the coating.
• Maintain ventilation: a 20-minute post-shower fan run prevents moisture build-up.
• Reseal caulk every two years to stop water from undermining the new finish.

When Replacement Still Makes Sense

1. Structural cracks through fiberglass shells
2. Severe plumbing misalignment requiring tub removal
3. Layout changes where a larger or deeper tub is desired

CountBricks can supply AI-exact estimates for both refinishing and replacement, letting you compare costs with hard numbers instead of guesswork.
