A dull or chipped tub in Hudson Mills 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.

First of all, ripping out an old cast iron or steel tub hurts your wallet. This process usually destroys your beautiful floor tiles and bathroom drywall. Which means a simple swap quickly turns into a dusty nightmare.
On top of that, modern replacement tubs feel cheap and flimsy compared to old-school fixtures. Those vintage pieces have character that you just cannot buy anymore. Our specialized resurfacing process keeps that classic charm intact while making it look brand new.
This lets you skip the permits and the loud construction noise completely. You avoid having dusty contractors trampling through your home for weeks. Instead, you get a fresh, shiny surface in just a single afternoon.
Initially, we clean the old surface with specialized industrial prep agents. This step removes decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. If you do not clean it perfectly, the new finish will not stick.
Next, we carefully repair any deep chips, scratches, or rusty spots. We use a high-grade filler that cures rapidly to create a flat canvas. Then, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses with the old porcelain.
Finally, our technicians spray several coats of a high-tech acrylic polymer coating. We use professional HVLP spray guns to ensure a glassy, mirror-like finish. This creates an incredibly durable barrier that resists stains and impacts for years.
| Project Feature | Our Special Coating Process | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very budget-friendly | Extremely expensive |
| Time to Complete | Four to six hours | Three to five days |
| Mess and Dust | Virtually none | Major demolition dust |
| Fixture Lifespan | Adds 10 to 15 years | Depends on tub quality |
Naturally, everyone wants a bathroom that feels like a high-end spa. You deserve a space where you can unwind after a long, stressful day. Our glossy finish delivers that premium feel without the premium price tag.
Consequently, you save enough cash to upgrade other parts of your home. Maybe you can finally buy those fancy vanity lights or that smart toilet. Investing in smart restoration simply makes sense for your household budget.
Furthermore, our modern coatings come in various colors to match your style. You do not have to stick with basic white if you prefer bisque or almond. We help you customize your space to match your exact design vision.
Because we live and work nearby, we care about our local community. We service the beautiful area near the Huron River where outdoor recreation is a way of life. Our neighbors trust us to deliver honest work at a fair price.
Actually, many homes in the 48130 ZIP code area feature classic mid-century bathrooms. These sturdy houses often have cast iron tubs that just need some professional love. We know exactly how to handle these historic fixtures with care.
With a local median household income of around eighty-five thousand dollars, area homeowners appreciate smart investments. Spending money wisely on home maintenance helps protect your biggest financial asset. Our quick service keeps your property values high without draining your savings account.
Surprisingly, caring for your newly coated fixture is incredibly simple. You must avoid abrasive cleaners like bleach powder or steel wool scrubbers. These harsh items will scratch the beautiful shine and dull the surface over time.
Instead, use mild dish soap and a soft sponge to wipe it down. This simple routine keeps the surface sparkling clean with almost zero effort. A quick rinse after each shower prevents soap buildup from ever starting.
Additionally, you should avoid leaving wet bottles or damp washcloths sitting on the ledge. Moisture trapped underneath items can eventually weaken the chemical bond. Hanging your bath accessories on a caddy solves this problem easily.
Clearly, experience matters when you are spraying chemical coatings inside a home. Our crew arrives with heavy-duty exhaust fans to safely vent all fumes outside. We protect your floors, walls, and vanity with thick plastic sheeting.
By doing this, we ensure your home stays perfectly clean and safe. We treat your property with the same respect we show our own houses. You will never find a mess left behind when our team packs up.
To help you make the best decision, we offer totally free on-site consultations. We inspect your fixture to ensure it is a good candidate for our process. This face-to-face meeting guarantees you get an accurate estimate with no hidden fees.
Now, you do not have to live with an ugly, stained tub anymore. You can get that clean, inviting look back in less than a day. Our friendly local team is ready to help you love your bathroom again.

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 Hudson Mills, 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.
