A dull or chipped tub in Sodus 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.
Do you hate looking at that scratched up basin in your bathroom every single morning? Well, your home in Berrien County deserves a fresh shine without costing a fortune.
This local service lets you upgrade your wash station right on site. Plus, it saves you from messy demolition work.
Tearing out a heavy cast iron or fiberglass basin creates a massive headache for any homeowner. Instead, our crew sprays a high grade acrylic coating directly onto your existing fixture. This means you avoid weeks of construction dust floating through your hallways.
That old porcelain probably has stubborn stains that never seem to vanish no matter how hard you scrub. By applying a fresh polymer topcoat, we seal those microscopic pores completely. Consequently, your daily cleanup routine becomes remarkably easy and fast.
Replacing a built in bathing vessel involves hiring plumbers, buying new tiles, and paying for hauling away debris. Meanwhile, our professional spraying technique costs a tiny fraction of a full remodel. This leaves plenty of cash in your wallet for other weekend projects.
Property values around ZIP codes 49126 respond very well to updated wet areas during appraisals. Therefore, investing in this cosmetic fix boosts your home equity instantly. You get the look of a brand new bathroom without the terrifying invoice.
First, our specialists arrive at your property with specialized ventilation equipment to keep your air clear. Then, we meticulously clean the entire surface to remove decades of soap scum and body oils. This prep work ensures the bonding agent sticks permanently to the substrate.
Next, we repair any pesky chips or hairline cracks using a durable epoxy filler. After sanding everything down to a silky smoothness, we apply multiple layers of specialized resin. This meticulous method guarantees a gorgeous finish that handles daily family use effortlessly.
Chemical odors can be overwhelming during this type of home improvement project if not managed correctly. Because of this, we set up industrial exhaust fans to vent fumes straight outside your window. Your family stays safe and your indoor air remains fresh throughout the entire procedure.
Curing times matter immensely when dealing with advanced polyurethane topcoats and bonding primers. Normally, you must wait about twenty four hours before filling the basin with water again. This patience rewards you with a rock hard shield that resists peeling.
Many residents wonder if buying a plastic insert makes more sense than spraying their current fixture. Honestly, inserts often trap moisture underneath, leading to mold growth and gross odors over time. Our direct bonding method eliminates that risk by fusing with your original material.
Here is a quick breakdown to help you visualize the differences between these common methods.
| Method | Average Cost | Time Required | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | One to Two Weeks | Decades |
| Acrylic Insert | Moderate | Several Days | Five Years |
| Our Spray Technique | Low | One Single Day | Ten-plus Years |
Looking at these numbers makes the smart choice pretty obvious for most budget conscious property owners. Why spend thousands when you can achieve the exact same visual impact in hours?
Living around a population of 1,932 friendly folks means word travels fast about good local contractors. We take immense pride in treating every single house in our area like our own. Our reputation depends on delivering stunning results that make you smile every time you walk past the bathroom.
Winter weather in our state can be brutal on older plumbing fixtures due to temperature swings. Luckily, our flexible polyurethane coatings expand and contract naturally without cracking under thermal stress. This resilience keeps your bathroom looking pristine year after year.
Taking care of your newly sprayed washing basin requires just a few basic habits. Always use mild liquid dish soap instead of abrasive scouring powders that scratch glossy finishes. This simple habit preserves that gorgeous shine for many years to come.
Avoid letting heavy metal items crash against the bottom during your evening routines. Even though the coating is remarkably tough, sharp impacts can still cause minor surface damage. Treating your upgraded fixture gently guarantees maximum longevity.

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 Sodus, 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.
