Updated bathtub in a modern Clearwater bathroom with refinished surface and new fixtures

Tired of that chipped, stained, or outdated bathtub? Whether you're in Palm Harbor, Clearwater, or Largo, you don’t have to gut your bathroom to give it a fresh, modern look. Bathtub repair and refinishing is trending in Pinellas County as a fast, affordable, and stylish way to revive tired tubs without costly replacement.

Save Big with Bathtub Refinishing

Homeowners all over Clearwater and Palm Harbor are turning to bathtub refinishing instead of full replacement. Also known as reglazing, this method involves applying a high-gloss coating to restore the surface of your existing tub.

Benefits include:

  • Hiding scratches, stains, and chips
  • Updating the color and finish
  • Extending the life of your tub by years
  • Avoiding demolition and tile work

It’s a cleaner, quicker solution that costs a fraction of a full remodel. Check out our Bathroom Repair Services for more details.
