In Detroit’s historic neighborhoods, bathrooms often still feature the original cast-iron or porcelain tubs that gave 1920s houses their charm. Unfortunately, decades of hard water, DIY cleaners, and dropped tools leave those classics dull, chipped, and impossible to scrub clean. CountBricks offers a faster, cleaner, and dramatically less expensive solution than full replacement: professional bathtub reglazing Detroit Michigan residents can schedule in a single voice call.
Bathtub reglazing, sometimes called refinishing or resurfacing, is the process of repairing surface damage, applying an industrial bonding agent, and finishing the tub with a new high-performance coating. Instead of demolishing tile, disconnecting plumbing, and hauling a 300-pound tub down a narrow Detroit stairwell, CountBricks technicians revitalize the fixture in place—typically in one day.
Cost Savings
• Reglazing costs roughly 70 % less than installing a new tub.
• No surprise expenses for plumbing reconfiguration or flooring repair.
Speed
• Most CountBricks reglazing projects are completed in 4–6 hours, versus multiple-day tear-outs.
• Re-coat cures overnight, letting homeowners use the tub the next morning.
Preservation
• Reglazing keeps vintage claw-foot or cast-iron tubs that add resale value to Detroit’s character homes.
• Fewer materials end up in landfills, supporting the city’s growing sustainability goals.

The platform automatically pulls current Detroit labor rates, EPA-compliant coating prices, and task durations, then sends a polished quote PDF ready for e-signature.

The Miller family’s 1927 bungalow in East English Village had a classic 60-inch cast-iron tub stained by decades of hard water.
