In Brush Park, the Detroit technician we send repairs, sprays and caulks your tub where it stands.
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You probably stare at that stained, chipped, or outdated basin every morning and wish for a fresh start. Honestly, nobody likes scrubbing a surface that simply refuses to look clean anymore because the finish wore off years ago.
Fortunately, you can get a brand new look without tearing your whole bathroom apart or spending your entire savings account on a total renovation. This process saves you tons of time, mess, and money while making your space feel completely brand new.
When the surface of your tub starts getting rough, it traps dirt like a magnet. That specific grit makes it impossible to scrub away the grime, which leaves you feeling frustrated every time you try to wash up.
Because of the microscopic pores in the damaged enamel, bacteria and soap scum love to hang out there. Dealing with this means you spend way too much time cleaning instead of just relaxing in your home.
Basically, we apply a high-tech, durable coating over your existing basin to make it look smooth and bright again. This special chemical bond creates a hard, non-porous shell that repels water and prevents those nasty stains from soaking back in.
Since you avoid the heavy labor of ripping out plumbing and tile, you save a fortune compared to a full remodel. You get a shiny, pristine result that looks like it came straight from a luxury magazine.
Being located right in the historic heart of Detroit, Michigan, means we understand the specific needs of these older homes. Whether you live near the iconic architecture or within those familiar ZIP codes, we know how to handle these classic fixtures.
Since we focus on the Brush Park area, our response time is fast and our service feels personal. You deserve a neighbor who shows up on time and treats your property with the respect it truly deserves.
| Feature | Your Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| No demolition | Your walls and floor tiles stay perfectly intact. | |
| Speed | You can use your tub again in just a day or two. | |
| Cost | You save thousands compared to a total bathroom gut job. | |
| Durability | The new finish resists chips and yellowing for many years. |
On top of that, you keep the original character of your vintage home while updating the function. It is the perfect blend of keeping history alive and enjoying modern ease.
You might wonder if the smell is overwhelming or if it lasts a long time. While there is a strong odor during the application, we use professional ventilation to clear the air quickly so you can go about your day.
Furthermore, the finish cures into a solid surface that is incredibly easy to wipe down. You no longer need harsh chemicals that strip away your sanity just to keep things looking decent.
After we finish, you should use mild soaps to keep the surface gleaming for a long time. Avoiding abrasive scrubbers ensures you keep that smooth feel and glossy shine for many, many years to come.
Also, try to keep the drain clear so water does not sit and cause issues over time. Proper maintenance is super easy and keeps your bathroom looking like a dream without any extra fuss.
You get to pick the color or shade that matches your vision for the space. Imagine walking into a bathroom that actually makes you feel calm rather than stressed by its dingy appearance.
Moreover, the glossy finish reflects light better, which makes the whole room appear larger and brighter. It is amazing how such a small change can completely alter the vibe of your daily routine.
You might see kits at the big box stores, but those often peel after a few months of regular use. Our professional equipment creates a much stronger bond that actually sticks to the surface for the long haul.
Because the chemicals used are industrial grade, you really want a trained hand to manage the process safely. We protect your fixtures and the surrounding areas so that the only thing left behind is a perfect finish.
Since you want to know exactly what this will cost, we provide a free estimate with no pressure attached. You simply reach out, we take a look at your specific needs, and we give you a clear price.
Because every single job is different, having us come out to see the condition of the surface is the best way to get an accurate number. You will find our approach honest, down to earth, and totally focused on your satisfaction.
You do not have to live with a fixture that makes your skin crawl or ruins the look of your house. Every day you wait is another day you spend looking at something that does not give you any joy.
Instead of putting it off, why not find out how simple the process really is? You might be surprised at how affordable it feels to get that fresh, clean surface you have been dreaming about.
First, we walk through the bathroom and talk about what you want to change. Then we examine the condition of the tub to make sure the base is solid and ready for the new layer.
Finally, we explain the timeline and answer any questions you might have about the products we use. You will feel totally informed and ready to make the best choice for your unique living space.
Living in such a historic part of town brings its own set of challenges, especially with older plumbing. We know how to navigate the quirks of these homes to ensure the work goes smoothly.
Because we are locals, we pride ourselves on doing a great job for our friends and neighbors. Your home is your castle, and we work hard to make sure it looks like royalty lives there.
Even if you are not planning to move, having a beautiful bathroom makes your life so much better. You get to enjoy a space that provides a pleasant feeling every single time you step inside.
Plus, if you ever do decide to sell, a clean and updated bathroom is a major selling point. People love seeing a place that has been cared for and upgraded with smart, efficient choices.
You deserve to walk into your bathroom and feel a sense of peace. Why settle for less when a simple, professional fix is just a short conversation away?
Take the leap today and see how much better your home can look with just a little bit of expert care. We are ready when you are to help you transform your space into something you are truly proud to show off.
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 Brush Park, 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.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
