What is Bathtub Refinishing?

Bathtub refinishing (also called reglazing or resurfacing) restores your existing bathtub's surface without the expense, waste, and disruption of replacement. Our professional process includes thorough cleaning and preparation, chip and crack repair, industrial-strength bonding, multiple coats of commercial-grade finish, and controlled curing. Des Moines homeowners get a bathtub that looks brand new—with coatings designed to handle waterfront humidity and deliver lasting results.

Des Moines Neighborhoods We Serve

We provide bathtub refinishing throughout all Des Moines neighborhoods including Marina District and downtown, Redondo Beach, Woodmont, Zenith, North Hill, Midway, Saltwater State Park area, Highline College vicinity, and areas bordering Kent, Federal Way, and Normandy Park.

Bathtub Refinishing for Des Moines' Waterfront Character

Marina District Downtown

Des Moines' charming Marina District captures the essence of waterfront small-town living—the historic pier, the fishing boats, the walkable downtown with Puget Sound views. Homes in this area range from early 1900s beach cottages to mid-century properties, many with original bathtubs that have served families for generations. Refinishing honors this waterfront heritage, restoring vintage fixtures while preserving the character that makes Marina District special.

Redondo Beach Community

Redondo's beach community offers a unique waterfront lifestyle in South King County—direct Puget Sound access, stunning sunsets, and a tight-knit neighborhood feel. These coastal homes need refinishing that handles marine humidity while delivering beautiful results. Our commercial-grade coatings are formulated specifically for waterfront conditions, ensuring your refinished tub looks great for years despite the coastal environment.

Woodmont Family Neighborhoods

Woodmont represents classic Des Moines living—established single-family homes where families have built lives for decades. Built primarily from the 1950s through 1970s, many Woodmont properties feature quality cast iron bathtubs showing their age after years of family use. Refinishing transforms these solid fixtures affordably, updating dated colors to modern white while preserving the sturdy construction underneath.

Zenith & North Hill

Des Moines' eastern neighborhoods offer convenient access and often include water views at more accessible price points. These family-oriented areas feature homes from multiple decades, with bathtubs representing various eras and conditions. Refinishing provides practical value—professional results at a fraction of replacement cost, sensible for Des Moines families balancing budgets.

Highline College Area

The areas surrounding Highline College include rental properties serving students and staff, along with family homes in adjacent neighborhoods. Property managers appreciate our efficient refinishing that minimizes vacancy time. Our one-day process gets units rent-ready fast in Des Moines' active rental market.

Common Bathtub Problems in Des Moines Homes

The Refinishing Process for Des Moines Homes

1. Friendly Consultation: We visit your Des Moines home to assess your bathtub, understand your needs, and provide an exact quote. Small-town service, no pressure.
2. Thorough Preparation: Our technicians clean and prepare the surface completely, removing all residue that could interfere with adhesion.
3. Professional Repairs: Chips, cracks, and worn areas are filled with commercial-grade materials that become invisible under the new finish.
4. Proper Ventilation: We establish airflow using professional equipment for safe working conditions and optimal curing.
5. Expert Application: After chemical etching for permanent bonding, we spray multiple coats of professional refinishing material for a smooth, factory-quality finish.
6. 24-Hour Cure: Your bathtub needs a full day to cure properly. We provide specific instructions for this period.
7. Quality Check: We inspect our work, clean up completely, and review care instructions so your refinished tub lasts 10-15 years.
