A dull or chipped tub in Clover 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 wake up, wander into your bathroom, and immediately cringe at that stained, dated tub staring back at you. Instead of spending thousands on a dusty demolition project, you can actually breathe new life into your existing fixture for a fraction of the cost. Our professional team comes right to your doorstep in Manitowoc County to restore that brilliant shine and make your daily soak feel luxurious again.
Indeed, a complete bathroom remodel often turns into a massive headache that leaves your home looking like a construction zone for weeks. By choosing to renew the surface of your current cast iron or fiberglass basin, you bypass the plumbing nightmares and the piles of broken tile. This smart alternative saves you time, keeps hard earned money in your pocket, and delivers a glossy finish that looks brand new.
Naturally, you might wonder how a simple surface restoration can hold up against daily splashes and scrubbings. Our specialized multi step bonding process ensures the new coating fuses perfectly with the old substrate for maximum durability. If you want to see how affordable this transformation is, we would love to visit your home and provide a detailed, complimentary estimate today.
First, we must look at what actually happens when we perform this magic on your worn out bathroom fixtures. We do not just paint over the old grime, because that would peel off in a matter of weeks. Instead, we use professional grade compounds to chemically fuse a fresh, durable acrylic polyurethane barrier over your existing basin.
To start the process, our technicians thoroughly clean the area using industrial strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. Next, we repair any unsightly chips, deep scratches, or rust spots so the foundation is completely smooth. This meticulous preparation ensures the new topcoat sticks like glue, giving you a flawless surface that sparkles.
After preparing the substrate, we apply a proprietary bonding agent followed by several layers of high tech coating. This procedure creates a non porous barrier that resists stains, mold, and mildew much better than old, porous porcelain. Consequently, your weekly cleaning chores become incredibly easy, requiring nothing more than a quick wipe down with a mild liquid soap.
Now, let us look at how this smart surface renewal stacks up against a traditional tear out. The table below highlights the key differences so you can make the best choice for your home and budget.
| Factor | Full Replacement | Our Surface Renewal |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High ($3,000 - $8,000) | Highly Affordable |
| Project Duration | 3 to 7 Days of Chaos | Only 4 to 6 Hours |
| Mess & Dust | Extreme demolition debris | Virtually None |
| Fixture Lifespan | Varies by material quality | Adds 10 to 15 years of use |
Clearly, the traditional route involves hiring plumbers, tile setters, and drywall contractors, which quickly inflates your final bill. On top of that, you lose the use of your primary washroom for what feels like an eternity. Our efficient on site process bypasses all that stress, letting you jump back into your shower the very next day.
Furthermore, older fixtures often boast a build quality and charm that modern, cheap plastic replacements simply cannot match. By preserving your heavy cast iron tub, you keep a piece of classic craftsmanship while upgrading its appearance to match modern styles. This approach represents the perfect blend of nostalgic character and contemporary freshness.

With a cozy local population of around 223 residents, we treat every single client like our neighbor because you literally are. We take immense pride in helping families beautify their properties without straining their household budgets.
Since the median household income in our scenic region requires smart financial planning, spending thousands on a cosmetic bathroom fix rarely makes sense. Our budget friendly service allows you to upgrade your home value while keeping your hard earned savings intact. Whether you live near the peaceful shores of Lake Michigan or further inland, we bring our mobile workshop directly to your driveway.
Specifically, we service homes across the entire local area, including those within the 54230 ZIP code and neighboring sectors of Manitowoc County.

We aim to deliver a smooth, hassle free experience that leaves you smiling every time you walk into your washroom.
Perhaps you are curious about what actually happens during the hours we spend working in your bathroom. First, we mask off all your walls, vanity cabinets, and flooring to protect them from any overspray or dust. Then, we set up a powerful commercial ventilation system to safely draw any fumes out of your home through the nearest window.
Once the safety prep is complete, we apply an acid etch to open up the pores of the old porcelain or ceramic. This step is crucial because it allows our specialized primer to bite deep into the original material. Afterward, we use a precision spray gun to apply multiple thin, even coats of our high gloss finish.
Finally, we carefully remove all the protective masking tape and inspect our work under bright lights to guarantee perfection. We leave you with detailed care instructions to ensure your newly glazed surface remains bright and beautiful for years to come. The entire process is surprisingly quiet, clean, and incredibly satisfying to witness.
To help you get the absolute most out of your investment, we always share a few insider maintenance secrets. First, you must avoid abrasive cleaning powders or harsh scrub sponges that can scratch the glossy topcoat over time. Instead, rely on gentle, non abrasive liquid cleansers and microfiber cloths to maintain that deep, reflective shine.
Additionally, keeping your bath mat from staying wet on the tub floor for days on end will protect the bond from moisture trapping. If you have leaky faucets, fixing those drips promptly prevents mineral deposits from building up and staining the fresh finish. With just a tiny bit of regular care, your renewed basin will look absolutely magnificent for up to fifteen years.
Which means you can enjoy a bright, clean, inviting bathroom without ever having to worry about costly repairs down the road. Our premium materials are specifically designed to withstand the thermal shock of hot water without cracking or peeling. You get the peace of mind that comes with a top tier job, done by friendly local folks who care.
Are you ready to finally say goodbye to that ugly, hard to clean washbasin once and for all?

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 Clover, 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.
