A dull or chipped tub in Hunters Creek 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 look at that worn-out, stained basin every single morning and feel a instant wave of defeat. Years of scrubbing have probably stripped away the original factory shine, leaving a dull surface that seems to attract dirt like a magnet. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to get that sparkling clean feeling back again.
Our local team specializes in reviving these heavy fixtures right where they sit, saving you time and immense amounts of stress. By applying a high-tech liquid acrylic coating over your existing setup, we create a gorgeous, high-gloss barrier that looks identical to a brand-new installation. This smart method keeps your original plumbing intact and avoids the headache of dealing with permits or unreliable drywall contractors.
We believe everyone deserves a beautiful space to unwind after a long day of work. To help you plan this upgrade without any pressure, we are proud to offer a completely free on-site consultation and price estimate. You can easily request your written quote today to discover just how affordable a complete cosmetic transformation can be.
Many homeowners assume that buying a new basin from the local home improvement store is the cheapest path forward. However, they quickly realize that the retail price tag on the fixture is only a tiny fraction of the actual cost. Once you factor in the expense of ripping out old tile, upgrading ancient pipes, and hiring professional haulers, your budget can quickly spiral out of control.
On top of the financial strain, a traditional remodel can leave your home looking like a chaotic construction zone for weeks. Dust travels through your vents, loud hammering disrupts your peace, and you lose access to a vital room in your house. Choosing our specialized resurfacing process keeps your home clean because we complete the entire transformation in a single afternoon.
This convenient approach allows you to bypass the mess entirely while achieving the exact same visual result. Our advanced bonding agents ensure the new surface adheres perfectly to your cast iron, steel, or fiberglass foundation. You get to enjoy a gorgeous, shiny wash area without the emotional rollercoaster of a major home renovation project.
Achieving a flawless finish that stands up to daily use requires much more than just a quick coat of paint. We begin by thoroughly cleaning the area with specialized industrial prep solutions to strip away soap scum, mineral deposits, and body oils. After that, we carefully repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using a waterproof polyester filler.
Once the foundation is completely smooth, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses the new topcoat to the original material. This step is critical because it prevents moisture from sneaking underneath the new layer and causing unsightly bubbles later on. Finally, we spray multiple layers of a premium aliphatic acrylic polyurethane finish using professional high-volume, low-pressure equipment.

|---|---|---|---|
| Average Duration | 5 to 9 Days of Mess | 2 to 3 Days | Only 4 to 6 Hours |
| Total Project Cost | Very High Expense | Moderate to High | Extremely Budget-Friendly |
| Plumbing Changes | Required in Most Cases | Often Needed | Absolutely None Required |
| Design Customization | Limited by Store Stock | Very Few Options | Infinite Color Choices |
This table clearly demonstrates how choosing to recoat your fixture saves you money and spares you from endless household disruption. We take pride in our meticulous preparation work because we know a beautiful finish is only as good as the prep beneath it. You will love how easy the new surface is to clean, requiring nothing more than a quick wipe with a mild liquid soap.
We love serving our neighbors throughout this beautiful corner of the Great Lakes State, where hard work and community values still mean something. Our service area covers the peaceful community of Hunters Creek, Michigan, where families appreciate honest craftsmanship and fair pricing. Whether you live near the local parks or along the quiet country roads, we bring our mobile workshop directly to your doorstep.
This lovely region, situated within a county of about 88,000 residents, features a wonderful mix of historic farmhouses and modern suburban developments. With a local median household income of approximately $63,000, finding smart ways to stretch your home improvement dollar is always a top priority. We understand the unique challenges of local water systems, which often carry heavy minerals that can dull and stain traditional fixtures over time.
Our team is fully equipped to handle these tough mineral deposits, restoring your bathroom to its former glory. By choosing a local service provider, you get personalized attention from people who actually care about the neighborhood. We treat your home with the utmost respect, using professional ventilation systems to keep odors out of your living spaces while we work.
Once our technicians pack up their tools, your newly coated surface will need about twenty-four hours to cure fully. This waiting period is incredibly important because it allows the chemical bonds to lock together, creating a durable shield. After the cure time is complete, you can use your sparkling wash area exactly like you normally would.
To keep that brilliant shine looking fresh for many years, you should always avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing pads. These gritty products can create tiny micro-scratches on the surface, which will eventually trap dirt and make cleaning much harder. Simply wiping down the area with a soft sponge and a gentle dish soap is all it takes to maintain that brand-new look.
While classic glossy white remains our most popular option, you are certainly not limited to just one shade for your project. We can tint our high-performance coatings to match almost any color palette, allowing you to create a truly customized look. Whether you want to match existing wall tiles or create a bold modern contrast, we have you covered.
This flexibility makes it incredibly easy to update an outdated pastel bathroom from the nineteen-seventies without replacing all the plumbing. You can choose a soft almond, a modern biscuit, or a clean white to instantly brighten up a dark space. Our friendly team will happily show you color samples during your free consultation to help you make the perfect choice.
It is very tempting to grab a cheap box kit from a local retail shelf and try to tackle this project over the weekend. Unfortunately, those consumer-grade products use simple epoxy paints that lack the strength and flexibility of professional coatings. Without commercial-grade etching acids and high-powered spray equipment, these DIY paints usually start peeling within a few short months.
When a cheap store-bought coating fails, it leaves behind a sticky, peeling mess that is incredibly difficult to clean up. Fixing a failed DIY attempt requires us to strip away all the old paint, which actually adds to the total cost of the job. Hiring our experienced team from the very beginning ensures the work gets done correctly, saving you money and frustration.
We use heavy-duty safety gear and professional exhaust fans to keep your indoor air clean and safe during the application process. Our technicians have spent hundreds of hours mastering the precise spraying techniques required to avoid runs, drips, and uneven textures. You get a flawless, glass-like finish that looks professional because it was applied by seasoned hands.
Do not spend another week staring at a stained, embarrassing bathroom when a affordable solution is just a phone call away. Our local family-owned business is ready to help you fall in love with your home all over again. We make the entire process incredibly simple, from the very first phone call to the final cleanup.
When you contact us, we will schedule a convenient time to visit your home and evaluate the condition of your current fixture. We will walk you through every step of our process, answer any questions you might have, and hand you a detailed written quote. This estimate comes with absolutely no strings attached, giving you all the information you need to make the best decision.
Take the first step toward a cleaner, more inviting home by reaching out to our friendly office today. We look forward to showing you how easy and affordable it is to transform your old bathroom into a bright, beautiful space. Let us handle the hard work so you can simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the beautiful results.
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 Hunters Creek, 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.
