A dull or chipped tub in Andersonville 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You wake up every single morning and stare at that stained, outdated tub in your home. Honestly, it probably makes you feel a bit discouraged before your day even starts. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to fix this eyesore. Our dedicated team specializes in restoring that beautiful, glossy shine to your existing fixtures right where they sit. This means you get a fresh, sparkling bathroom surface without the massive headache of traditional remodeling.
Indeed, many homeowners feel trapped by the high costs of complete bathroom remodeling. Happily, our specialized surface restoration service offers a brilliant loophole that saves you heaps of cash. By applying a high-performance liquid coating directly over your old cast iron or acrylic basin, we make it look brand new. Which means you can finally enjoy a bright, clean bathing space without dealing with dusty construction crews.
Now is the perfect time to take action and reclaim the beauty of your home. You can easily request a completely free estimate from us to see how affordable this transformation actually is. We love traveling out to local properties to inspect these surfaces and give honest, upfront pricing. Trust us, your wallet will thank you for choosing this smart, cost-effective shortcut.
Perhaps you are wondering how this wizardry actually works in real life. First, we meticulously clean the old surface using specialized acid-free cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This crucial step ensures that the new materials we apply will bond permanently to the original substrate. After that, we patch any unsightly chips, deep scratches, or rusty spots that have been bothering you for years.
Next, we spray a high-tech bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new finish. We then apply multiple layers of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat using professional spray equipment. This creates a non-porous, highly durable barrier that resists future staining and looks incredibly sleek. Consequently, your old fixture gains a magnificent luster that mimics the look of brand-new ceramic.
To help you understand the differences between your options, we created a handy comparison table. This breakdown shows why our specialized restoration process is the preferred choice for smart homeowners.

Living in this lovely part of Oakland County means you appreciate quality craftsmanship and honest local service. Our quiet neighborhood of Andersonville, Michigan, is known for its cozy charm and beautiful homes. With a local population of around 13,940 residents, we treat every single client like our next-door neighbor. We understand the unique plumbing quirks of homes in this beautiful area, especially around local ZIP codes like 48346 and 48350.
On top of that, local families here enjoy a comfortable median household income of about $92,000. This means you want high-quality results that protect your valuable real estate investment without blowing your entire budget. Our specialized restoration service delivers exactly that, blending premium durability with an affordable price tag. You get to keep your hard-earned money for other fun local activities while still upgrading your home.
As a bonus, our process is incredibly environmentally friendly compared to throwing an entire heavy tub into a landfill. We take great pride in helping our community stay green while improving one bathroom at a time. By choosing to restore rather than replace, you actively reduce construction waste in our beautiful state. It is a true win-win situation for both your home and our local environment.
To be completely honest with you, we believe in sharing the full picture so you can make an informed decision. The absolute biggest benefit of this process is the incredible speed and affordability it offers. You can use your newly coated basin just twenty-four hours after we pack up our tools. This quick turnaround is a lifesaver for busy households with only one main bathroom.
However, you must know that this specialized coating requires a little bit of gentle care to last for the long haul. You cannot use abrasive bleach powders or harsh scrubbing pads on your newly restored surface. Doing so will dull the beautiful, shiny finish over time and shorten its overall lifespan. Instead, we recommend using mild, non-abrasive liquid cleaners to keep everything looking pristine.
Another minor drawback is the temporary odor that occurs during the actual spraying process. Although we use powerful exhaust fans to vent the fumes outside, a slight paint-like smell can linger for a few hours. Fortunately, this scent dissipates quickly once the material cures completely. We always advise our clients to keep a window cracked or run a house fan for a little while after we finish.
Whether you have an old cast iron clawfoot model or a modern fiberglass unit, we have the skills to fix it. We work on standard recessed tubs, corner units, and even complete shower stalls that have seen better days. Our materials bond beautifully to porcelain, ceramic tile, acrylic, and gelcoat surfaces alike. This versatility allows us to tackle almost any outdated bathroom fixture you throw our way.
Additionally, we can even update the color of your old ceramic wall tiles to match your newly restored basin. Imagine transforming that dated 1970s pink or green bathroom into a clean, modern oasis of bright white. This comprehensive service saves you from having to hire separate contractors for different parts of your bathroom. We handle it all in one smooth, efficient visit.
Getting your hands on a free, no-obligation estimate from us is incredibly simple and stress-free. All you need to do is clear out your personal items, like shampoos and soaps, from the bathing area before we arrive. This allows us to inspect the surface closely and identify any hidden cracks or water damage. We will then walk you through the entire process and give you a written price that we stand by.
During our visit, feel free to ask us any questions you might have about color options or care instructions. We love educating our neighbors so they feel completely confident in their home improvement choices. There is absolutely no pressure or pushy sales tactics when you work with our friendly team. We simply want to help you find the best solution for your beautiful home.
Ultimately, you deserve to have a bathroom that feels clean, bright, and incredibly inviting. No one should have to bathe in a stained, chipped basin that feels impossible to scrub clean. Our specialized restoration process offers the ultimate shortcut to a gorgeous, sparkling washroom. You will be amazed at how much bigger and brighter your entire bathroom feels once we finish our work.
Which brings us to the most exciting part of your home improvement journey. You are just one quick step away from scheduling your free, personalized consultation with 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 Andersonville, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
