Bathtub refinishing in Phoenix poured on, not sprayed
We refinish cast iron and steel bathtubs across the Valley with a thick pour-on coating. One visit of about three hours, a glossy white tub, and you are back in it the next day.
- Odorless coating — no spray mist, no fumes
- Chips, rust and hard-water damage repaired first
- 5-year written warranty

A thicker finish, without turning your house into a spray booth
Most reglazing in Arizona is sprayed: thin coats, strong fumes, a plastic tent in the bathroom. We do it differently, and it is the only way we work.
Poured, not sprayed
The coating is poured by hand along the rim. It flows down the walls and levels itself into one seamless layer.
How the method worksThick and dense
One heavy layer instead of several thin films — much thicker than a sprayed finish, with a deep gloss and no orange peel.
No spray mist
Nothing is atomized into the air, so there is no overspray on your tile — and the coating itself is odorless.
Made for hard water
Valley water leaves scale on everything. A smooth, non-porous finish gives minerals far less to hold on to than worn-out porcelain.
Hard water and your tubOne flat price
$475 for a standard tub, repairs and caulking included. You get the number before we come — it does not change at the door.
See what is included5-year warranty
Peeling or lifting of the coating is covered for five years. The warranty is written on your receipt, not buried in fine print.
Care and warrantyOne visit. About three hours. Done.
You do not need to move out or air the house for days. We work in the bathroom with the door closed; the rest of your home stays as it is.
-
Sand the whole tub
The entire tub is ground and sanded, not just the bad spots. Old caulk, loose coating and rust come off, and the new finish gets a surface it can grip.
-
Deep-clean and dry
The tub is etched, washed, neutralized and washed again, then dried completely — seams included — and wiped down with alcohol. Nothing is left between the tub and the coating.
-
Seal, repair, mask
New flexible caulk goes around the tub, chips and rust spots are repaired, and the tile, floor and fixtures are masked.
-
Pour the coating
The coating is poured along the rim. It runs down the walls, levels itself and closes over the caulk line into one seamless white layer. 24 hours later the tub is ready.
Summer in the Valley: the coating cures at normal indoor temperature. Just leave the air conditioning on as usual for the first 24 hours.
Cast iron and steel tubs — the ones worth keeping
Porcelain-enameled cast iron and steel are the tubs the Valley was built with from the 1920s through the 1980s. They are solid, and they refinish beautifully.
Cast iron tubs
Heavy, quiet, and all but impossible to replace without tearing out tile. Common in central Phoenix and older Scottsdale, Mesa and Tempe homes.
Cast iron refinishingSteel tubs
The standard tub of the 1950s–80s ranch house, often in pink, blue, green or tan. Chipped enamel and rust at the drain are the usual story.
Steel tub refinishingClawfoot tubs
Freestanding cast iron tubs in historic homes and remodels. We refinish the inside; the outside stays yours to paint.
Clawfoot refinishingColored tubs to white
A 1960s pink or avocado tub does not have to go to the landfill. Any original color comes out glossy white.
Change the colorNot sure what your tub is made of? Hold a fridge magnet to it. If it sticks, it is steel or cast iron and we can refinish it. If it does not, the tub is acrylic or fiberglass — we do not refinish those. How to tell in one minute.
The same goal, two very different jobs
| Pour-on (what we do) | Spray reglazing | |
|---|---|---|
| How it goes on | Poured by hand along the rim; it flows down the walls and levels itself | Atomized through a spray gun in several thin coats |
| Thickness | One thick, dense layer — much thicker than a sprayed finish | Thin film, built up coat by coat |
| In your home | No spray mist, and the coating is odorless | Overspray and strong fumes; fans and ducting to a window |
| Surface | Smooth and glossy, no orange peel, no dust specks trapped in mist | Depends on the gun and the room; texture and specks are common |
| Wear | A thick layer has material to spare against cleaning and daily use | A thin film is quicker to wear through and to peel at the drain |
| Ready to use | 24 hours | Usually 24–48 hours |
- Prep, sanding and masking
- Chip and rust-spot repair
- Pour-on coating in glossy white
- Fresh caulk around the tub
- 5-year written warranty
A price you know before we ring the doorbell
No coupons, no “starting at”, no surprise add-ons once the tub is half done.
Send a photo of your tub and we confirm the price the same day. For a standard cast iron or steel tub in normal condition that price is $475, and it already covers the repairs most tubs need.
The few things that change the number are simple and we tell you up front: a tub that was painted before and is now peeling, deep rust that has eaten through the metal, or an address far outside the core of the Valley.
You pay when the job is finished and you have seen the tub.
From Surprise to Gilbert, and everything in between
We work across the Phoenix metro area. Pick your city for local details, or just send a photo and your ZIP code.
Straight answers before you ask
How long does bathtub refinishing take?
About three hours for one tub, in a single visit. The coating then cures on its own and the tub is ready to use 24 hours later.
Will my house smell?
No. The coating is odorless and nothing is sprayed into the air, so there is no mist and there are no fumes. You can stay home while we work, children and pets included.
Is $475 really the whole price?
For a standard cast iron or steel tub in normal condition, yes: $475 covers prep, repairs, the coating and new caulk. If your tub was refinished before and is peeling, or has rust-through, we tell you the exact price after seeing a photo — before the visit, not during it.
Do you refinish fiberglass or acrylic tubs?
No. We work only on porcelain-enameled cast iron and steel bathtubs. If a magnet does not stick to your tub, it is plastic and we are not the right company for it.
Can I get a color other than white?
No — we refinish in glossy white only. Your tub can start out any color: pink, blue, green, tan or almond all become white.
How long does the finish last?
With normal use and non-abrasive cleaners, up to 15 years. Peeling or lifting is covered by a 5-year written warranty.
