Bathtub Refinishing FAQ:

How long does bathtub refinishing take in Anaheim homes, and can I use my bathroom the same day?

The actual refinishing process takes 3-4 hours for a standard bathtub in most Anaheim homes, whether you’re in a vintage bungalow near Downtown or a newer condo by the Honda Center. Our technicians typically arrive in the morning and finish by early afternoon. However, here’s the important part – while we complete the work in one day, the coating needs 24-48 hours to fully cure before you can use your tub again.

We understand this is inconvenient, especially in Anaheim’s smaller apartments where you might only have one bathroom. That’s why we always schedule your refinishing for times that work best for your family’s routine. Many of our customers near Disneyland Resort who work in hospitality schedule refinishing on their days off. The good news is you can still use your toilet and sink immediately – we only restrict use of the refinished bathtub itself. After the curing period, your tub is ready for normal use and will maintain its beautiful finish for 10-15 years with proper care

What’s the average cost of bathtub refinishing in Anaheim compared to replacement?

In Anaheim, professional bathtub refinishing typically costs between $450-$650 for a standard tub, while bathtub replacement runs anywhere from $3,000-$8,000 or more, depending on your bathroom’s configuration and the complexity of plumbing work required. The price difference becomes even more dramatic in older Anaheim neighborhoods like the Colony Historic District, where plumbing updates to meet current building codes can add thousands to your replacement costs.

Here’s what many Anaheim homeowners don’t realize: replacement costs go far beyond just the new tub. You’re looking at demolition fees, disposal costs (the city doesn’t just let you leave a 400-pound cast iron tub on the curb), potential tile repair or replacement, plumbing modifications, and often unexpected repairs once walls are opened. We’ve refinished tubs for landlords with properties throughout Anaheim who calculated that one bathtub replacement equals the cost of refinishing 8-10 units. For rental property owners in competitive areas near Cal State Fullerton or Chapman University, refinishing makes exceptional financial sense.
