How our tub resurfacing works

We use professional Topkote coating systems and a careful, step-by-step process:

  • Deep clean the surface and repair chips and rust spots.
  • Lightly etch the surface so the new coating bonds properly.
  • Tight masking and proper ventilation to protect your bathroom and keep air clean.
  • Apply the Topkote coating for a smooth, glossy finish that looks and feels like a new tub.
  • Caulk and cleanup included, plus cure-time guidance so you know when you can use it.

We can usually resurface the surrounding tile at the same visit for a fully matched, seamless look.

Tub resurfacing vs. replacement

Resurfacing is a fraction of the cost and time of replacing a tub. Full replacement commonly runs $3,000 to $8,000 or more once demolition, plumbing and new tile are included, and leaves your bathroom unusable for days. Resurfacing is typically done in a single day and ready for use in 24 to 48 hours, which matters most in a home with only one bathroom.

Resurfacing is a great fit when the tub is structurally sound and the color or finish is dated, such as the avocado green and almond tubs common in older Atlanta homes. We will tell you honestly if your tub is not a good candidate.

Frequently asked questions

How much does tub resurfacing cost in Atlanta?
Tub and shower resurfacing runs $450 to $950 depending on unit type and condition. Fiberglass and acrylic sit toward the lower end, cast iron and larger tub-and-surround combos cost more, and caulk and cleanup are included.
How long does it take, and when can I use the tub again?
Most jobs are completed in a single day, and the tub is usable again within 24 to 48 hours. We give you cure-time and re-use guidance before we leave.
Can fiberglass and acrylic tubs be resurfaced?
Yes. Cast-iron and porcelain tubs hold the finish longest, and fiberglass and acrylic can be resurfaced with a slightly different prep approach that we walk you through during your free estimate.
When should I replace a tub instead of resurfacing it?
Replace it if there is a structural crack through the shell, if you want to change the size or convert to a walk-in shower, or if there is water damage behind the surround. Otherwise resurfacing is usually far cheaper and faster than the $3,000 to $8,000 or more that full replacement commonly costs.
