    Planning range only. A previously refinished tub that is peeling needs stripping first (+$150–250) — we check at the visit.

    Scope of Work

    What We Refinish
    in Your Bathroom.

    The bathtub is our core service. Everything else in the room that’s porcelain, tile, fiberglass or painted wood can be done in the same visit.

    Bathtubs

    Cast iron, steel, fiberglass and acrylic. Stains, chips, rust and yellowing removed; new acrylic-urethane surface. Usable in 24 hours.

    Same day

    Tile Walls & Surrounds

    Bonding primer over ceramic or porcelain, then any color — pink 1960s tile to bright white without removing a single tile.

    Any color

    Showers & Pans

    Walls, floors and pans, including fiberglass one-piece units. Non-slip additive on floors is standard.

    Non-slip floor

    Vanity Cabinets

    Doors and box sprayed with the same moisture-resistant enamel we use on kitchens. Navy, sage and charcoal are favorites.

    Sprayed finish

    Sinks & Pedestals

    Porcelain and cast iron sinks refinished to match the tub. Chips filled first.

    Chip, Crack & Rust Repair

    Cracked shower pans, rust at the drain, chipped tub rims — repaired and sealed before coating, not painted over.

    Six Colors That Make

    Stock tub colors ship on the truck — same-day service. Custom matches to any SW / BM / RAL code take 1–2 extra days.

    How It Works

    One Bathtub,
    Hour by Hour.

    A standard tub takes four to five hours on site. Tile surrounds add two to three.

    9:00 am

    Arrive & mask

    Floor, walls, fixtures and the door are masked; a vent fan goes in the window. Shoe covers on.

    45 min

    9:45 am

    Strip, clean, etch

    Old coating and silicone removed, tub degreased and acid-etched so the new surface bonds to the porcelain, not to soap film.

    1 h

    11:00 am

    Repair

    Chips filled, rust at the drain ground out and sealed, cracks in pans reinforced. This is where a bad job cuts corners.

    30–60 min

    12:00 pm

    Prime & coat

    Bonding primer, then multiple thin coats of acrylic-urethane sprayed for a glass-smooth gloss. Non-slip texture on floors.

    1.5 h

    2:00 pm

    Cure & hand-over

    Masking down, fixtures back, care sheet and written warranty. Keep it dry overnight; shower tomorrow morning.

    24h cure

    Ventilation matters. There is a paint-shop smell during application. We vent the room and ask you to stay out for 4–6 hours; by the next morning it is gone. Pets and kids should be in another room for the day.

    Honest Comparison

    Reglaze, Liner,
    or Replace?

    Same alcove tub, three ways to fix it. Reglazing wins when the tub holds water and the floor around it is solid — which is nearly every tub we see.

    FAQ

    Bathtub Refinishing
    Questions.

    Straight answers from a Bay Area refinishing team homeowners trust.

    How long until I can use my bathtub after refinishing?

    Light use is possible in 4–6 hours. We recommend waiting 24 hours for full cure before a regular bath or shower. Avoid harsh cleaners for the first week.

    Can you refinish over existing tile without removing it?

    Yes. Our coatings bond directly to ceramic and porcelain tile that is in sound condition. No removal needed. Any color over any existing tile color.

    How long does bathtub refinishing last?

    With proper care, 10–15 years. Avoid abrasive cleaners and bath mats with suction cups, and the finish will stay looking new for many years.

    Does the process involve strong smells or toxic fumes?

    There is an odor during application (similar to automotive spray paint). We ventilate the bathroom and recommend leaving the room for 4–6 hours during and after application. By the next morning the smell is gone.

    My tub was refinished before and is peeling. Can you fix it?

    Yes. A failed coating has to be stripped completely, not sprayed over. Stripping adds about $150–250 and an hour on site; we confirm at the estimate.

    Can you match a specific color?

    Yes. Bathtubs are finished with a coating we can match to any Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, or RAL color. White, bone, grey, beige, and standard tub colors are stock. Custom colors take 1–2 extra days for prep.

    Do you refinish showers and shower floors?

    Yes — shower walls, shower floors (with non-slip texture additive), and shower pans. We assess condition at the in-home estimate since floors with heavy damage may not be good candidates.

    Can you fix chips, rust and cracks?

    Yes, and it is part of prep, not an extra. Chips are filled, rust at the drain is ground out and sealed, and cracked pans are reinforced before any coating goes on.

    Do I need to remove the caulk or the drain?

    No. We remove old silicone, tape off or pull the drain and overflow, and re-caulk when the finish has cured. You do nothing but clear the shelves.

    Is there a warranty?

    Yes — a written 5-year finish warranty against peeling and cracking under normal use, plus a workmanship guarantee: if anything isn’t right, we come back.
