Hello! Thank you for your interest in The Bathtub Medic.

Here is a list of the kinds of work we do. Please click to see before and after pictures.

1. Bathtub, showerpan and sink refinishing – whether porcelain or fiberglass, this day-long process involves spraying five coats of an acrylic urethane finish onto the fixture, then sanding and polishing to a smooth, glossy finish. 
 
2. Structural repair of cracks in fiberglass and acrylic tubs – involves removing the weak areas of the floor of a bathtub, then carefully reinforcing the repair area with wood. After sealing the tub floor and sanding it smooth, we then install a new floor onto the existing tub floor. This results in a stronger, more permanent repair then “foaming” the tub floor, as wood is far stronger than foam, and it looks better than just patching the crack.

4. Repair of chips and holes in porcelain, fiberglass, and acrylic bathtubs – using an airbrush, this process will magically make ugly or rusted chips disappear.

5. Cleaning and polishing of fiberglass bathtubs – many fiberglass tubs and shower stalls can look shiny and new again by simply cleaning and then polishing. This approach regularly saves a homeowner hundreds of dollars over refinishing.

6. Installation of bathtub liners and wall systems – made of highly durable PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this is a way of having a brand new tub installed without removing the old one, or to cover tiled walls without removing the tile. Again, this saves customers hundreds when compared with the cost of gutting the bathroom to replace a tub or tile.

7. Tile refinishing – for customers who like the look of tile, refinishing is a way of giving a new coating to wall tile, which seals and beautifies the tile and grout and makes them much easier to keep clean. Also, it allows a homeowner to change the color of the tile at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

8. Miscellaneous – The Bathtub Medic can also install new shower doors or safety grab bars, replace drain and overflow valves when working on tubs, install safety non-skid surfaces or bathtub regrout or recaulk bathtubs.

9. Steam Cleaning Tile – An effective low-cost way of removing water stains, soap film, and scaling.  Sanitizes and kills mold, mildew, and bacteria.

And The Bathtub Medic has been chosen by Jacuzzi to be its authorized repair representative in the Sonoma and Marin counties.
