A dull or chipped tub in Walled Lake 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.
Maybe you look at your bathroom every morning and just sigh. That outdated, chipped tub is staring back at you with its dull, stained surface, making the whole room feel tired and dirty. Replacing the entire fixture sounds like a massive headache that will tear up your home for days.

Many folks do not realize that you do not have to rip out your old cast iron or acrylic tub when it gets ugly. Instead, we apply a specialized chemical process that bonds a brand new, high-gloss coating right over your existing fixture. This saves you from the horror of dealing with messy demolition and expensive plumbing rerouting.
Indeed, this technique is a highly specialized craft. We clean the old material with strong acid-free compounds, patch up any deep dings, and spray a premium topcoat that cures into a rock-hard finish. The final result looks exactly like a brand new piece of porcelain straight from the showroom floor.
This means you get to keep your sturdy, character-rich original fixture. Older tubs are often made of heavy, high-quality materials that modern cheap plastic replacements simply cannot match. By choosing to restore rather than replace, you preserve that durability while upgrading the visual appeal.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom to protect your vanity, floors, and walls from any overspray. Then, we set up a powerful exhaust system to pull fumes out of your home while we work. This keeps your indoor air clean and safe during the entire process.
After that prep work is complete, we repair any chips, scratches, or rust spots. We use professional-grade fillers that blend seamlessly into the original structure. Once everything is smooth, we apply our signature bonding agent to ensure the new layers stick forever.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of our high-tech acrylic coating. This leaves a gleaming, smooth surface that is incredibly easy to clean. You only have to wait a day or two before you can jump in and enjoy a relaxing soak.
Living in this beautiful lakeside community of 7,193 residents means enjoying life near the water rather than spending weekends dealing with messy home renovations. Our local neighborhoods, stretching across ZIP codes like 48390 and 48391, feature a wonderful mix of cozy classic homes and modern properties. Many of these houses possess solid, well-built bathrooms that simply need a cosmetic facelift rather than a total teardown.
With a local median household income of $50,847, smart budgeting is always a priority for families here in Walled Lake, Michigan. Spending five thousand dollars on a complete bathroom remodel just does not make sense when you can get the same visual result for a fraction of that cost. Our services help you stretch your hard-earned dollars while still achieving that clean, upscale vibe you deserve.
On top of that, we understand the unique local climate. Our homes experience humid summers and freezing winters, which can cause cheap plastic tub liners to warp and trap water underneath. Our seamless sprayed-on finish eliminates that moisture risk entirely, preventing hidden mold from growing in your bathroom.
To help you see why this method is so popular, we put together a simple comparison table. This shows how our specialized coating service stacks up against other common bathroom updates.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time to Complete | Mess and Hassle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Tub Replacement | Very High | 3 to 7 Days | Extreme (Demolition) |
| Plastic Tub Liners | High | 1 to 2 Days | Moderate (Risk of leaks) |
| Our Protective Coating | Very Affordable | 4 to 6 Hours | Very Low (No demolition) |
As you can see, our process wins on every single front. You save money, save time, and avoid the absolute chaos of having contractors tear your walls apart. It is the most logical choice for busy homeowners who want maximum value.
Once we pack up our tools and leave you with a sparkling bathroom, you will want to keep it looking pristine. Fortunately, caring for this new surface is actually much easier than scrubbing old, porous porcelain. The non-porous topcoat prevents dirt and soap scum from sinking deep into the material.
However, you must avoid using abrasive cleaners like scouring powders or harsh bleach. These gritty chemicals can dull the shiny finish over time. Instead, simply wipe the surface down with a mild dish soap and a soft sponge to keep it gleaming.
This simple care routine ensures your investment looks fantastic for ten to fifteen years. Which means you can spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees and more time enjoying your home. It is all about making your daily life a little bit easier and more comfortable.
Another tip is to avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting on the rim of the basin. Standing water under these items can sometimes weaken the bond of the coating over several years. A simple hanging shower caddy solves this problem completely.
Additionally, make sure you fix any leaky faucets as soon as possible. Constant dripping in the exact same spot can eventually wear down even the toughest industrial finishes. Taking care of small plumbing issues early protects both your pipes and your beautiful new finish.
We pride ourselves on being extremely polite, clean, and punctual. When we arrive at your doorstep, we do not bring chaos or a bad attitude. We treat your home with the exact same respect we would show to our own families.
First, we walk through the space with you to discuss the project and answer any last-minute questions. We want to ensure you know exactly what is happening at every moment. This clear communication removes all the stress and anxiety from the process.
After that, we get straight to work using our specialized equipment. We work quickly but meticulously, never cutting corners just to save time. Once we finish, we clean up every speck of dust so your home looks exactly like it did when we arrived.
Now is the perfect time to finally do something about that ugly, embarrassing bath area. You do not have to tolerate those stains or feel embarrassed when guests visit your home. A gorgeous, shiny, easy-to-clean bathroom is just a phone call away.
We invite you to reach out to us right now to request your completely free, no-obligation estimate. Our friendly local experts will visit your home, inspect your fixture, and give you an honest price. Take action today and let us help you fall in love with your home all over again.
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 Walled Lake, 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.
