A dull or chipped tub in Kendall 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.

Many homeowners confuse this specialized resurfacing process with simple painting, but it actually involves a highly technical chemical bonding system. First, we must strip away the old, degraded layers of soap scum and DIY patch kits. This step ensures that our new industrial-grade coatings will fuse perfectly with the original substrate.
After preparing the surface, we apply a sophisticated molecular bonding agent that acts like superglue for the new finish. Next, we spray several coats of a high-tech acrylic polymer that cures into a rock-hard glaze. This process leaves you with a gorgeous, high-gloss finish that looks identical to brand-new porcelain.
To help you understand how this compares to other options, we have broken down the typical choices for updating a worn-out fixture:
| Project Factor | Our Resurfacing Service | Total Tub Replacement | Plastic Acrylic Liners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Duration | 3 to 5 Hours | 2 to 5 Days | 1 to 2 Days |
| Demolition Mess | None | Very High | Low |
| Financial Cost | Budget-Friendly | Extremely Expensive | Moderate to High |
| Expected Lifespan | 10 to 15 Years | 20+ Years | 5 to 10 Years (risk of leaks) |
Now, you can clearly see why smart homeowners choose to restore rather than replace. This choice keeps hard-earned money in your wallet while keeping heavy, non-biodegradable fixtures out of our local landfills.
Replacing a built-in wash basin often requires tearing out pristine wall tiles, moving old plumbing lines, and hiring expensive subcontractors. By choosing our specialized recoating service, you avoid these cascading renovation costs entirely. This leaves you with extra cash to spend on other home improvement projects or family vacations.
On top of that, our quick process prevents your home from turning into a chaotic construction zone. This allows you to resume your normal daily routine in just a day or two. Which means you save both time and mental energy throughout the entire project.
Landfills across our beautiful state are constantly filling up with heavy, discarded cast iron and fiberglass basins. By choosing to restore your existing fixture, you actively reduce construction waste and minimize your ecological footprint. This simple decision helps preserve our local natural resources for future generations to enjoy.
Furthermore, our modern coatings are designed to be extremely durable and easy to clean. This means you will not need to use harsh, toxic chemicals to keep your bathroom looking spotless. Which keeps your indoor air quality safer and healthier for your kids and pets.
We take immense pride in serving our tight-knit community, which is located in the lovely northern region of Van Buren County. With a local population of 2,773 residents, we treat every single customer like our neighbor because you actually are. Our technicians understand the unique plumbing quirks of homes in the 49062 ZIP code area, where the median household income reflects hard-working families who appreciate real value.
Whether you live in a historic farmhouse or a modern ranch, we customize our approach to fit your specific bathroom setup. We arrive on time, respect your property, and leave the workspace cleaner than we found it. This level of care is why your neighbors trust us to deliver flawless results every single time.
We do not use cheap, store-bought DIY kits that peel off within a few short months. Instead, our crew utilizes advanced ventilation systems to safely extract fumes during the application process. This protects your household from strong odors while we work our magic in the bathroom.
Consequently, our premium coatings bond at a molecular level to create a non-porous surface. This prevents mold, mildew, and stubborn hard water stains from taking root in your tub. Which means you will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees during weekend cleaning chores.
We understand that having strangers working in your home can feel disruptive and stressful. Because of this, we have streamlined our restoration method to take less than a single day. You will be amazed at how quickly our technicians can transform a dingy, rusted basin into a shimmering centerpiece.
Once we pack up our gear, we provide you with clear, simple care instructions to maximize your new surface's lifespan. This helpful guidance ensures that your investment remains in pristine condition for a decade or more. All you have to do is follow a few basic rules, like avoiding abrasive cleaners and bleach.
When you contact us for a free estimate, we start by listening to your specific goals and concerns. We will examine the current state of your fixture to identify any hidden cracks, chips, or rust spots. This careful inspection allows us to give you an honest, accurate price quote with absolutely zero hidden fees.
Sometimes, we discover that a previous homeowner attempted a cheap cover-up job that is now flaking off. Do not worry about that because we can easily strip away those failed coatings to start fresh. This thorough preparation work is the secret to a beautiful finish that truly stands the test of time.
Deep gouges and rust spots might look like the end of the line for your trusty wash basin. However, our skilled technicians can repair these structural flaws using waterproof polyester putties. This step restores the structural integrity of the basin before we apply the final shiny glaze.
As a result, you will not have to worry about water slowly leaking through hidden cracks and rotting your subfloor. This proactive repair saves you from devastating water damage expenses down the road. Which gives you ultimate peace of mind every time you draw a warm bath.
You do not have to stick with the standard, clinical white finish if you want to spice things up. We offer a variety of modern color options to match your existing tile work and decor. This flexibility allows you to modernize your bathroom's look without the high cost of buying new fixtures.
Additionally, we can apply a special slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your basin during the process. This built-in safety feature helps prevent dangerous slips and falls for young children and elderly family members. Which makes your daily bathing routine much safer and more relaxed for everyone in the house.

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 Kendall, 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.
