Services
Bathtub Repair
We specialize in repairing all types of bathtub damage including cracks, chips, burns, and structural weaknesses. Our technicians use advanced materials to restore fiberglass, porcelain, cast iron, and acrylic tubs to like-new condition. Repairs are completed in place, saving customers 50-70% compared to replacement costs while maintaining full functionality and aesthetics.
Shower Refinishing
Our shower refinishing service revitalizes worn shower bases, walls, and fixtures through specialized coating applications. We address issues like water damage, mold stains, and surface cracks in fiberglass, acrylic, and tile showers. The process creates a seamless, waterproof surface that resists future staining and deterioration while maintaining original design elements.
Acrylic Tub Liners
Custom-fitted acrylic tub liners provide a permanent solution for damaged bathtubs without demolition. Our liners install directly over existing surfaces while maintaining proper drainage and water flow. Available in multiple colors and styles, these non-porous liners resist mold growth and require minimal maintenance compared to traditional materials.
Countertop Refinishing
We restore laminate, Corian, and solid surface countertops through precision sanding and specialized coating applications. Our process eliminates scratches, burns, and stains while creating a durable, easy-to-clean surface. Clients can choose from various finishes including stone-like textures that mimic the appearance of granite or marble at a fraction of the replacement cost.
Tub to Shower Conversion
Our conversion service transforms traditional bathtubs into modern walk-in showers while preserving existing plumbing infrastructure. We reinforce structural elements, install anti-slip flooring, and add safety features like grab bars. The process typically completes in one day with minimal disruption to surrounding areas, creating accessible, contemporary bathroom spaces.
