A dull or chipped tub in Metamora 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 folks assume that once a tub gets stained or scratched, their only real option is to throw it in a landfill. Actually, professional resurfacing works like a charm on cast iron, steel, and even fiberglass units that have seen better days. We use specialized, commercial-grade bonding agents and durable coatings that fuse directly to your old fixture to create a incredibly tough, non-porous topcoat.
This means you can easily wave goodbye to those stubborn rust spots, ugly mineral deposits, and outdated 1970s colors like avocado green or mustard yellow. After we finish our meticulous preparation and spraying process, your fixture will look just like a brand-new porcelain installation. The end result is a smooth, high-gloss finish that resists stains and makes cleaning your bathroom an absolute breeze.
To help you understand how this compares to a traditional replacement, we put together a handy comparison table below.
| Feature | Our Restoration Method | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, saving up to 70% | Extremely expensive with plumbing labor |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in a single day | Can take a week or more of messy work |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal, we clean up everything | Tons of drywall dust, noise, and debris |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with proper care | Depends entirely on the new material bought |
Living in a cozy, charming community in Lapeer County means appreciating the value of a dollar and keeping our homes in great shape.

Our specialized service allows you to get that high-end look without draining your hard-earned savings account.
Whether you live in a historic farmhouse or a modern ranch house, we know exactly how to handle the unique plumbing setups found in the area. We proudly serve the entire 48455 ZIP code, bringing our professional equipment and friendly smile right to your front door. Our small-town population of about 630 residents deserves top-tier service, and we treat every single home we visit with the utmost respect.
When you work with a small, local business like ours, you never have to worry about dealing with pushy salespeople or hidden fees. We believe in honest, straightforward pricing, which is why we always offer a completely free quote before any work begins. This ensures you know exactly what to expect, with no surprise charges on your final bill.
First, we start by thoroughly cleaning the surface with industrial strength cleaners to remove any stubborn soap scum, body oils, and old silicone caulk. Next, we apply a special acid etching paste to create microscopic pores in the old porcelain or fiberglass, which helps our coatings stick permanently. This critical preparation step is what separates a true professional job from those cheap DIY kits you find at the hardware store.
After that, we carefully repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots using high-grade waterproof fillers so the surface is perfectly flat. Then, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to ensure no overspray lands on your vanity, toilet, or walls. We also set up a heavy-duty exhaust fan in the window to safely vent all the fumes outside while we work.
Once the prep work is complete, we spray multiple layers of our high-tech bonding agent, followed by several coats of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat. This advanced material cures into a rock-hard shell that looks absolutely gorgeous and feels incredibly smooth to the touch. Finally, we remove all the masking tape, clean up our workspace, and apply fresh mildew-resistant silicone caulk around the edges.
To keep your newly shiny fixture looking pristine, you must avoid using abrasive scrubbing powders, steel wool, or harsh bleach cleaners. Instead, we highly recommend using mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft microfiber cloth to wipe down the surface after use. This simple routine prevents soap scum buildup and preserves the brilliant luster of your new finish for many years.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet washcloths, shampoo bottles, or metal shaving cream cans sitting directly on the surface for long periods. These items can trap moisture underneath and eventually cause the coating to dull or blister over time. By taking these easy, common-sense precautions, you can protect your investment and enjoy a beautiful bathroom for a decade or more.
You might feel tempted to buy a cheap, store-bought epoxy kit to try and paint the fixture yourself over the weekend. However, those retail products lack the chemical bonding power of professional materials and usually start peeling off within a few months. Even worse, they are often applied with a brush or roller, leaving ugly brush marks, streaks, and uneven spots all over your tub.
When a DIY job fails, removing that peeling epoxy is a massive pain and actually costs more to fix than doing it right the first time. Our commercial spray equipment ensures a perfectly even, factory-like finish that you simply cannot replicate with a brush. Save yourself the immense frustration and physical backache by letting our experienced team handle the dirty work for you.

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 Metamora, 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.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
