Tired of staring at that chipped or faded bathtub every time you step into the bathroom? You’re not alone. Homeowners across Gaithersburg, Germantown, and Clarksburg are opting for bathtub repair and refinishing instead of full replacements — and for good reason. It’s faster, more affordable, and delivers a like-new result without the construction mess.
Refinish Instead of Replace
When your tub is structurally sound but visually outdated or damaged, refinishing (aka reglazing) is a game-changer. Homeowners in Montgomery Village and Derwood are turning to bathtub refinishing to:
- Erase stains, scratches, and dull finishes
- Restore the original sheen
- Update color and surface to match modern décor
- Save money — often 60–70% less than full replacement
This service is typically completed in a day and adds years of life to your existing tub. Read more on our Bathroom Repair Services page.
Flawless Chip & Crack Repairs
Surface damage happens — but it doesn’t mean your tub is a lost cause. In Northern Montgomery County, we use professional-grade materials to repair:
- Chips in enamel and porcelain
- Cracks in fiberglass and acrylic
- Surface scratches or pitting
- Worn-out coatings or peeling glaze
Every repair is color-matched and sealed for a clean, invisible finish.
Modern Comfort, No Major Remodel
Homeowners from Laytonsville to Boyds are transforming their existing tubs with modern upgrades like:
