Restore your tub without the mess of replacement
Artemis Commercial Painting provides professional bathtub refinishing and tub reglazing throughout Metro Detroit and Southeast Michigan. If your tub is worn, stained, dull, chipped, or simply outdated, refinishing can give it a fresh new appearance without removing the entire fixture.
Refinishing is often a practical option when the tub is still serviceable but the surface no longer looks clean or modern.
Why refinish instead of replace?
- Less disruption — avoid much of the demolition and disposal involved with replacement.
- Faster project turnaround — especially useful for rentals, apartments, and unit turns.
- Keeps the existing tub in place — reducing the chance of disturbing nearby tile, plumbing, or finishes.
- A practical upgrade — ideal for tubs that are structurally sound but cosmetically worn.
A straightforward refinishing process
- Inspect the tub — We review the material, existing finish, prior coatings, and visible damage.
- Prepare the surface — The tub is thoroughly cleaned and prepared, with minor repair work completed where appropriate.
- Apply the refinishing system — Surrounding areas are protected and the coating system is applied for a smooth, uniform finish.
- Cure and inspect — The new finish is allowed to cure according to the coating system, followed by a final inspection and care instructions.

Frequently asked questions
How long does bathtub refinishing take?
Most standard bathtub refinishing projects can typically be completed in several hours. Exact timing depends on the tub condition, existing coatings, and any repairs needed.
How long before I can use the tub?
Return-to-service time depends on the coating system and job conditions. We provide the required cure time and care instructions after the project.
How long does bathtub reglazing last?
Service life depends on preparation, coating quality, use, cleaning, and maintenance. Proper care and non-abrasive cleaning can help extend the life of the refinished surface. With our selection of industrial-grade glazing products, we have seen refinished tubs last 10+ years.
Can you refinish a cast-iron tub?
Yes. Many cast-iron tubs are good candidates for professional refinishing, depending on their condition.
Can you refinish fiberglass?
Many fiberglass tubs and tub/shower units can be refinished. We evaluate the surface first because condition and previous repairs can vary.
Can you repair chips before reglazing?
Yes. Many minor chips and surface imperfections can be repaired during preparation before the new finish is applied.
Can you change the color of my bathtub?
In many cases, yes. Available colors depend on the professional coating system selected for the project.
Can a previously refinished tub be refinished again?
Often, yes, but the existing coating must be inspected first. Failing or poorly bonded coatings may require additional preparation or removal.
Is reglazing less expensive than replacing a bathtub?
Reglazing is often a more economical option when the existing tub is still serviceable because replacement may also involve demolition, disposal, plumbing work, and repairs to surrounding finishes.
