Have you ever wondered what goes into your bathtub’s reglazing price when you hire a professional to remodel your bathroom? Many homeowners assume reglazing is just a simple coat of paint, but it’s actually just one step in the professional bathtub and tile refinishing process.

What Services Are Included in Your Bathtub Reglazing Price?
Surface Preparation for a Durable Finish
The bathtub is deep-cleaned to remove soap scum, oils, mineral deposits, and any residue that could interfere with adhesion. The surface is then carefully sanded and etched, and surrounding areas are masked and protected.
Repairs and Filling Imperfections
Chips, cracks, and scratches are repaired using specialized resins, then carefully leveled and smoothed to restore the tub’s original shape. These steps result in a seamless, uniform surface with no visible flaws.
Coating and Finishing
Multiple layers of primer and high-quality epoxy or urethane topcoat are applied with professional sprayers. The coating is applied evenly for a smooth, glossy finish. After proper curing, these coatings create a glossy, durable surface that resists everyday wear.
Small Touches and Cleanup
Once the coating is complete, all masking is removed and the work area is thoroughly cleaned. Debris is cleared away, leaving your bathroom neat and orderly. You’ll also receive after-care instructions and maintenance tips to help extend the life of your refinished bathtub.
The Average Bathtub Reglazing Price In Michigan
A full replacement can cost several thousand dollars and involve demolition, plumbing, adjustments, and tile work. Bathtub and tile refinishing is a fast, affordable way to update your bathroom. However, one of the most common questions homeowners ask is: “How much will this cost?”
Regional averages give a realistic idea of what to expect:
- Standard bathtubs: Typically between $300 and $700
- Larger or specialty tubs: Up to $900, depending on size and complexity
- Tubs requiring additional repair: $1000 or more considering when chips, cracks, or heavy wear are present
While lower-cost options may exist, extremely low pricing often signals shortcuts in materials or surface preparation, which can shorten the lifespan of the finish. The type of finish selected may also affect pricing, as certain coatings or custom color options involve higher material costs.
Location can have a modest impact as well. Pricing may vary slightly based on local labor rates, travel distance, and whether the service is performed in a residential or commercial setting. However, even at the higher end of the price range, reglazing remains far more affordable than replacement.
