Make your tub look new again with bathtub refinishing in San Francisco!
We also work on shower pans, sinks, showers, etc.

Here is a list of the kinds of work we do at The Bathtub Medic:

Refinishing of porcelain and fiberglass bathtubs- No matter how ugly your tub is, we
can make it look beautiful again. Bathtub refinishing in San Jose takes a day and a
half for a porcelain tub, and three days for a full-sized fiberglass tub/shower
combination, consisting of intensive cleaning, removal of the plumbing fixtures as needed, and repairing the surface of any chips, cracks, gouges, pinholes, rough
spots, etc. We spray the entire tub with five coats of an acrylic urethane, then return
to exhaustively sand and polish every square inch of the surface. After re-caulking the perimeter of the tub, re-installing the plumbing fixtures, and cleaning the work area, the result is a brand new look for the bathtub, smooth and shiny and easy to clean, and it's backed by a five year guarantee.

Spot repair of chips and small cracks in porcelain and fiberglass tubs and sinks- Sometimes the tub looks fine, except for a couple of ugly chips or small cracks in the surface. Often it's possible to do bathtub chip repair by filling with a body filler, then matching the color and air-brushing them. This process effectively hides the damaged areas, is also backed by a written warranty, and will save the homeowner hundreds of dollars over the cost of refinishing the entire tub.

We are San Francisco Bathtub Refinishing Specialists!

Repair of structural cracks in the floors of fiberglass bathtubs and showers- Fiberglass bathtubs often start to crack on their floors as they age, especially when they're not properly supported. This is a one day repair in which we cut out the soft spots of the tub floor and reinforce it with wood and autobody filler, or cement and filler. When we've sealed up all the holes, and the tub is quite firm, we install a brand new floor on top of the existing tub floor. This leaves the tub with a firm floor and extends the life of the tub by years, and the best part is that it saves many hundreds of dollars over the cost of ripping out the tub and replacing it. Again, it is backed by a written warranty.

Cleaning and polishing of fiberglass tubs and showers- If your fiberglass tub is just hard to keep clean, it may simply need The Bathtub Medic to give it a good clean and polish job. The process removes the hard water scale stains, soap film, grime, etc., and it allows the homeowner to stay on top of the cleaning. This generally takes a half day, and it is another option, a way of saving hundreds of dollars over the price of resurfacing the whole tub.

Steam cleaning of ceramic wall tile- Sometimes the tile is in good shape, but just hard to get clean. Our steam cleaner, which produces temperatures over 300 degrees, can effectively blast away the stains in tile and grout. This is a fraction of the cost of refinishing or replacing the tile.

Re-caulking of bathtubs and showers
Installation of safety non-skid floors on tubs- We have all heard that the bathtub is statistically the most dangerous part of the house, largely because of slippery tub floors. Within a couple of hours, we can install a guaranteed non-skid surface on the tub floor, greatly lowering the chances of slipping and falling..

Conversion of bathtubs into walk-in showers- For people who have trouble stepping over the tub wall, we can cut out part of the tub wall, creating a walk-in shower stall.

Installation of shower doors, bathtub drains, and grab bars- The Bathtub Medic can accessorize your tub or shower with new shower doors or safety features.
