Bathtub Refinishing
Restore acrylic, cast iron, fiberglass, porcelain, and cultured marble bathtubs in Chicago to a glossy, like-new finish — without replacing the tub.
What is bathtub refinishing?
Bathtub refinishing is an affordable way to restore a stained, dull, chipped, or outdated tub without demolition. The existing surface is cleaned, repaired, and coated with a new high-gloss finish. The same process is sometimes called resurfacing. On this site we use the word refinishing.
We refinish acrylic, cast iron, cultured marble, fiberglass, porcelain, steel, and other common bathtub materials throughout Chicago and Des Plaines. When the work is done correctly, the tub looks new again in a single visit.
How long does refinishing take?
Professional refinishing in 3–5 hours for a standard bathtub. Most jobs are completed the same day. You stay in your home while we work. We use professional-grade, low-odor refinishing materials and protect floors, walls, and nearby fixtures before coating begins.
When can I use my refinished tub?
Do not use the bathtub or expose the surface to water for at least 24 hours after refinishing. Using the tub earlier can damage the new finish and void the warranty. After the cure window, follow the simple aftercare guide we leave on site — avoid abrasive cleaners and sharp impacts.
How long does a refinished tub last?
With proper care, a professionally refinished bathtub can look beautiful for many years. Lifespan depends on water chemistry, cleaning products, and how the surface is used. Every Fast Home Repair LLC refinishing job is backed by a 5-year warranty on workmanship and finish adhesion when care instructions are followed.
The coating we apply is a professional-grade two-component system. The result is a beautiful, glossy white finish that is up to 20x thicker than traditional spray coatings — a smooth, durable finish designed for daily bathroom use.
Why refinish instead of replace?
Replacing a built-in tub often means tearing out tile, hiring a plumber, hauling the old fixture away, and living with a closed bathroom for days. Refinishing keeps the original tub, surround, and plumbing in place. Homeowners typically save more than 80% compared with replacement while updating the look of the room.
