A dull or chipped tub in Detroit 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.
Looking to fix up your old damaged basin fast without spending thousands on a crazy big bath remodel? Refinishing your tub brings back that smooth shining surface quickly while keeping your hard earned money in your wallet!
First off, age takes a heavy toll on porcelain coatings over the years. Scrubbing hard with mean chemicals strips away the shiny top coat real quick... which leaves tiny little holes behind. Then nasty dirt gets trapped deep down where you just can not scrub it out no matter how hard you try. Honestly, it makes the whole room look pretty dirty even when you just cleaned it top to bottom!
Next, dropping heavy shampoo bottles or metal tools creates nasty sharp chips. Those small spots start rusting almost immediately because oxygen hits the raw iron hiding underneath. Furthermore, rust spreads under the remaining coating like a total sneaky villain! That ugly orange stain bleeds everywhere and ruins your daily morning mood.
Fortunately, you do not have to rip out the entire heavy cast iron beast just to get a fresh look! Tearing out old fixtures usually wrecks your wall tile, breaks the original plumbing, and creates a massive dusty mess all over your house. Save yourself from that insane nightmare by choosing a smart surface restoration project instead!
To begin with, we show up at your home and clean the surface super deep using high grade industrial strippers. This step gets rid of every trace of soap scum, body oils, and old flaky paint. Actually, missing a tiny spot of grease ruins the bond completely, so we scrub it like crazy!
After that step, we repair all those annoying deep cracks and ugly chips using strong waterproof filler compounds. We sand everything totally flat until your hand slides across without feeling a single bump or rough patch anywhere. Consequently, your old dingy surface feels brand new to the touch again!
Finally, we spray multiple thick layers of liquid acrylic resin using specialized high pressure air guns. This chemical bond locks itself directly onto the old prepped base like crazy glue. As a result, you get a super glossy shell that looks just like expensive high end factory enamel!
| Service Phase | What We Do On Site | Direct Benefit For You |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Chemical Wash | Strip old oils, limescale, and soap residue completely. | Prevents new finish from peeling off later. |
| Structural Repair | Fill deep chips, scratches, and rusty metal spots. | Restores total strength and smooth touch. |
| Pro Spray Application | Apply multi-layer modern acrylic synthetic coatings. | Delivers high shine and cozy luxury feel. |
Initially, buying a cheap plastic shell at a big box store seems like a tiny expense. But wait until you see the hidden costs of hiring plumbers, tile setters, and haulers! Suddenly, your tiny weekend quick fix ballooned into a huge three thousand dollar money pit. That hurts your wallet super bad!
Instead, restoring the existing surface cuts those ridiculous costs down by almost eighty percent! You keep your original sturdy cast iron fixture which holds heat way better than cheap modern hollow plastic anyways. So, you get to keep more cash for fun weekend stuff while enjoying a rich modern look!
Additionally, the entire process finishes up in just a couple of easy hours. You do not have to deal with loud workers stomping through your hallway for two straight weeks! That means life gets back to normal almost instantly without any extra stress or annoying noise.
Living out near the water in Oregon brings unique weather challenges like high moisture and mold issues. With a tiny local population of just 79 friendly folks around the 97342 area, people care a lot about keeping their homes looking nice. Plus, with a median household income of $53,125, spending smart money on practical repairs just makes total sense!
Besides that, mountain air and cold wet seasons mean you want a warm deep soak after working outside all day long. Having a cracked chalky basin ruins that relaxing evening vibe completely... nobody wants to sit in a rough scratchy tub! Fixing that surface makes your warm bath time feel super cozy and nice again.
Furthermore, our team knows the local region real well and drives right to your doorstep without any hassle. We bring all our professional gear direct to your property so you do not lift a finger! Getting a quick free estimate lets you plan your budget without any pushy sales pressure.
Because modern synthetic coatings are totally non porous, bacteria and mold can not find any hidden spots to grow anymore. Cleaning becomes crazy easy because dirt wipes away using simple soft sponges and mild soap dish wash! Forget about scrubbing hard till your arms ache... that rough work is finally gone for good!
On top of that, these tough modern coatings resist yellowing over time even if your bathroom gets lots of bright sunlight. The brilliant deep shine lasts for many years when you treat it with a little basic care! So, your home maintains a higher resale value if you ever decide to sell down the road.
Sometimes, people wonder if the strong smell stays around forever inside the house. Do not worry because our high powered exhaust fans pull those fresh paint fumes straight out through the window while we work! Within just twenty four hours, the smell is completely gone and the fresh topcoat is cured super hard!
Now, some door to door salespeople try to pitch expensive plastic shell inserts that slip right over your old fixture. Those thin plastic liners sound easy at first... but they hide a dirty secret underneath! Water often leaks down into the tiny air gap between the two layers and sits there forever.
Eventually, that trapped stagnant water turns into a nasty breeding ground for smelly black mold and squishy rotten spots. Every time you step inside, you hear a gross squishing sound beneath your feet! That is super gross and ruins your whole morning routine for sure.
Direct spray liquid coatings completely skip that giant trap by bonding flush right against the hard original structure! There are zero hollow gaps or hidden spaces for moisture to sneak into over time. Therefore, your floor stays solid as a rock every single time you step in for a hot shower!
First off, toss away those harsh abrasive powder cleaners and tough steel wool pads immediately! Scratchy tools carve microscopic grooves into the brand new smooth surface over time. Stick with gentle liquid cleaners or basic soap spray to keep that mirror polish shining bright as brand new glass!
Next, fix any dripping faucets or leaky shower heads right away! Continuous dripping water over months leaves heavy calcium mineral lines on the bottom floor. Taking care of small plumbing leaks protects your fresh glossy coat for the absolute maximum time possible!
Also, avoid using sticky suction cup bath mats inside your newly finished floor space. The tiny suction cups create intense pull forces that pull hard on the top layer when you yank them off. Instead, ask us to spray a custom built in non slip textured bottom right during the job!
To wrap things up, ignoring your ugly worn out fixture only lets small chips grow into giant rusty holes later on. Fixing raw metal early stops permanent damage before you are forced to pay for full bathroom destruction! Taking action today saves you tons of future headaches and huge repair bills down the line.
So, why keep staring at that yellowed stained surface for another single day when a quick fix is right here? Our local friendly team delivers stunning factory like shine fast... all at a tiny fraction of normal remodeling costs! You get top notch work that makes your daily life feel instantly better.

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 Detroit, 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.
