A dull or chipped tub in Traunik 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.
Are you sick of staring at a cracked or stained basin that ruins the look of your entire washroom? You can actually transform that hideous eyesore into a brand new looking surface for a tiny fraction of the cost of a full renovation.
When you decide to rip out your old porcelain vessel, you face a nightmare of plumbing bills and demolition dust. This messy process often takes weeks to finish, which leaves your home in total chaos while workers stomp through your living space.
Moreover, the waste from tossing perfectly good heavy cast iron into a landfill seems pretty irresponsible in this day and age. You avoid all that stress by opting for a specialized surface renewal service that stays right in your existing footprint.
Because you choose to keep the original unit, you save thousands of dollars that could go toward other home upgrades. This method seals every microscopic pore and scratch, which creates a smooth finish that feels like pure relaxation under your fingers.
Think about how much easier cleaning becomes when your tub surface is completely non-porous and shiny again. You no longer spend hours scrubbing at stains that have lived there since the previous owner moved out.
Once a professional arrives at your door, they prep the area by cleaning away decades of soap scum and grime. This essential step ensures that the new bonding agents stick perfectly to the base layer.
After the scrubbing, the technician applies a series of high grade chemical primers to create a rock solid bond. Which means your new coating will not peel or chip away even after years of daily hot showers.
Following the primer, they spray a specialized polymer resin that hardens into a beautiful and resilient shell. This material is way tougher than the original factory glaze and resists heat better too.
While you might think you are stuck with plain white, you actually get to choose from a massive catalog of colors. Whether you want a deep cream or a modern matte finish, the options are almost endless for your project.
Because we serve the small community of Traunik, Michigan, we know that homeowners here value quality craftsmanship above everything else. With only about 438 neighbors in this Alger County spot, we take pride in doing every job perfectly.
Even if your household income sits right at the area median, this service makes high quality home improvement feel accessible. You never have to sacrifice the overall ease of your living space to get a pristine result.
Typically, a skilled worker can finish the entire application in just one single day of hard labor. You just need to wait about twenty four hours for the materials to cure before you fill it up with water.
During this drying window, the chemical reaction completes and creates a surface that is incredibly hard to damage. This lets you get back to your regular routine without needing to live in a construction zone for weeks.
Since the fumes can be strong, the technician uses high powered ventilation tools to keep your air fresh. You stay safe and your home stays free of harsh odors while the magic happens in the bathroom.

First, you should reach out to request a free estimate so you know exactly what to expect. We come out to your house, look at the damage, and give you an honest number without any pressure.
Since every tub has a different history, having a pro look at it in person is the only way to be sure. You deserve a clear answer regarding whether your current unit is a good candidate for this specific treatment.
Sometimes, if the metal is rusted through or the basin is cracked in half, we will tell you the truth. We prioritize your satisfaction over just making a quick sale, so you get the most helpful advice possible.
When looking for help in your area, avoid anyone who promises to do the work in two hours for cheap. Real quality takes time and care, especially when dealing with dangerous chemicals and delicate ventilation needs.
You need to ask how many coats they plan to apply to ensure a long life for your fixture. A single thin layer will not hold up to the pressure of water and cleaning supplies over time.
Instead, look for a technician who walks you through the safety measures and the prep work involved. This shows they respect your property and care about doing the job right the first time.
Once the work is done, you should avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh bleach on the new surface. Stick to mild soaps and a soft cloth to keep that high gloss shine looking brand new.
Since the material is non-porous, dirt and grime just slide right off with a simple rinse. You keep your bathroom looking fresh and clean with minimal effort on your part every single weekend.
If you ever notice a small chip, you can have a pro touch it up quickly before it spreads. This proactive approach keeps your investment looking great for many years to come, which provides peace of mind.

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 Traunik, 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.
