Refinishing is the smart choice for outdated or damaged fixtures
Chips, rust, cracks, stains, and dull areas go away completely. A fixture in an outdated color can be changed so it looks new again, and you pick the color to match your decor.
Replacing a tub means expensive tradesmen, a week of disruption, noisy demolition, and possible damage to floors, walls, and plumbing. Refinishing gets the job done in hours, not days.
Most customers can't tell a refinished tub from a brand new one.
Replacing a tub alone can cost $2,500 or more, before the mess.
Refinishing keeps the original tub, takes one worker, and is usually finished in a day or less.| What we compare | Total replacement | Liner | Refinishing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time without a tub | 7 to 10 days | 2 days | One day or less |
| Durability | 15+ years | 5 to 10 years | 10 to 15 years |
| Color options | 3 to 5 standard | 2 to 3 standard | Any color |
| Look and feel | Porcelain, plastic, or fiberglass | Acrylic shell | Keeps the original porcelain look and feel |
| Disruption | Major: dust, debris, dumpsters, several workers | Moderate: dust and debris | Minimal: one worker, done in hours |
What we refinish
Porcelain, steel, fiberglass, acrylic, cast iron, laminate, and ceramic tile.
Tile
Tub and shower surrounds and bathroom walls. We repair cracks and holes, fill missing grout, and add a moisture-proof topcoat that resists mold for years.
Countertops
Knife cuts, burns, stains, and dated colors are no match for our process. Ask about our faux granite topcoat.
Sinks
A refinished sink often completes the bathroom. Chips, dull color, and old finishes are all remedied.
Spot repair
Not every fixture needs a full recoat. We repair isolated chips and cracks without redoing the whole surface.
Fiberglass inlays
A cracked tub or shower bottom can cause serious water damage. We custom-fit a new bottom over it, permanently.
Homes and businesses
We do residential and commercial refinishing, including tile. Whether it is one bathroom or a whole building, the process and the 5-year warranty are the same.

- Bathtubs and showers

Why businesses choose refinishing over replacing

- No demolition. No tearing out tubs or tile, no dumpsters, and far less mess.

- Backed by a 5-year warranty. Warranty work costs you nothing.
Contractors and property managers: refinishing and tile repair can fit into your remodel or turnover schedule. Call (209) 202-0278 and tell us about the job, whether it is one room or many.
How a refinish goes
We do every step, every time.
-
Prepare the workspace
A powerful ventilation system vents all fumes outside, and the surrounding area is fully protected.
-
Make every repair
Cracks, dents, scratches, and rust are repaired before any coating goes on.
-
Prepare the surface
Thorough prep is what makes the topcoat bond permanently. This is the step that decides how long the finish lasts.
-
Apply the topcoat
A professional spray gun lays down a smooth, drip-free, high-gloss finish.

Common questions
Answers from more than 20 years of refinishing.
Do you do commercial work as well as residential?
Yes. We do both. We refinish tubs, showers, tile, sinks, and countertops for homeowners and for businesses, including hotels, apartments, and rental properties.
Do you work with contractors and property managers?
Yes. Contractors, remodelers, property managers, and landlords call us to refinish or repair fixtures and tile instead of tearing them out. Call (209) 202-0278 and tell us about the project.
Can you refinish tile as well as tubs?
Yes. We repair cracks and holes, fill missing grout, and refinish ceramic tile with a moisture-proof topcoat, in homes and in commercial properties.
Where do you work?
Our home base is Turlock. We refinish bathtubs, showers, sinks, and countertops throughout Stanislaus County, Merced County, San Joaquin County, Fresno County, the Bay Area including Santa Clara County and San Francisco, and the wider Central Valley. The full list of cities is in the Where we work section above.
Do you serve Modesto, Merced, Stockton, and Fresno?
Yes. Modesto, Merced, Stockton, and Fresno, along with the surrounding towns in Stanislaus, Merced, San Joaquin, and Fresno counties, are all part of our service area. Free estimates.
Do you work in the Bay Area?
Yes. We take jobs in Santa Clara County, including San Jose and nearby cities, in San Francisco, and in other Bay Area cities. Call (209) 202-0278 with your city and we will confirm scheduling.
How long does the job take?
Most tubs, sinks, and countertops take three to four hours. With our premium topcoat you can use the fixture the same day.
Will it look painted?
No. The topcoat goes on with a professional spray gun, so the finish is smooth and glossy with no brush marks or drips.
Are your coatings VOC compliant?
Yes. Our newest coating fully meets federal VOC guidelines and is among the most environmentally friendly in the industry.
Is refinishing the same as reglazing?
Yes. Both words describe preparing and refinishing a porcelain, tile, or laminate fixture. We use them interchangeably.
Can I use a DIY kit from the hardware store?
We strongly advise against it. DIY kits usually fail within a month or two, and a professional then has to strip and redo the work at extra cost.
My tub was refinished by someone else and is peeling. Can you fix it?
Yes. Peeling almost always means shortcuts were taken during prep. We prepare every surface carefully with premium materials so the bond lasts.
What surfaces can you refinish?
Tubs, wall tile, sinks, vanity tops, showers, cultured marble, Formica countertops, cast iron porcelain, fiberglass, and acrylic.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. We warranty our work against cracking or peeling for five years or two service calls, whichever comes first. Warranty work costs you nothing.
Our 5-year warranty
We warranty our work against cracking or peeling from the date of completion. If your fixture needs a touch-up during the warranty period, labor and materials are free.
Safe cleaners: Scrubbing Bubbles, Lysol Tub and Tile, Mr. Clean Eraser, or Dawn dish soap.
To keep it valid, please avoid
- Suction-cup mats, soap dishes, or other adhesive items on the surface
- Abrasive cleaners such as Comet, Ajax, or Kaboom, and acids or toilet bowl cleaners
- Scrubbing sponges, steel wool, or sandpaper
- Using the tub within 4 hours of refinishing
- Heavy tools, ladders, or objects dropped on the tub
