For sometime we searched for a professional glazier to re-glaze our 104-year old cast iron claw-foot bathtub, mostly with bad results. When searching the net for re-glazing services we would get unsolicited advertisements from “professionals” who when called or emailed simply didn’t reply. Then we saw an ad for NuFinishPro that said it included our rural county in its work area. We called NuFinishPro and the next day Chad Devlin, NuFinishPro’s Sales and Project Manager, got in touch with us. We described what we needed and set up a time to do the work. When something came up that required we change the date, Chad handled the problem with ease. Jack, the technician who covers our area, contacted us, gave a time we could expect him to arrive and appeared at our front door exactly as scheduled. Even better, in a matter of a few hours he transformed our old, slightly tired claw-foot bathtub into a work of art.  Jack was pleasant, courteous, highly professional, and we shall sing his, Chad, and NuFinishPro praises to everyone we know.  Both Chad and Jack were pleasant to work with, well-informed, professional, and very understanding of our scheduling problems.  We are, in a word, delighted with every aspect of our association with NuFinishPro and recommend them without hesitation to anyone who is searching for a professional to re-glaze their bathtub.

For some reason I found it hard to find someone to provide a refinish of my shower pan, until I was told of NuFinishPro. They were very responsive and the pro who did the prep and all the work, did a great job - it’s like new! Jack was very easy to work with and protected our bathroom area beforehand. The job was very thorough and I would highly recommend them!

Jack the bath tub refinisher was on time, courteous, and an excellent craftsman. The bath tub is 64 years old and now it looks new again. I highly recommend using NuFinishPro for a professional looking job.

We were totally blown away at the final results of our tub/shower and surround refinishing. We were thinking of tearing the whole thing out and installing a new shower, but the cost was out of our budget. We found NuFinshPro and were impressed by the videos that we saw. The results in the videos were not an exaggeration. Jack did an amazing job, and the tub and surround looks like a brand new install at a fraction of the cost.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

The actual refinishing process takes 3-4 hours for a standard bathtub in most San Luis Obispo homes, whether you’re in a vintage bungalow or a newer condo 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 San Luis Obispo’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 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

In San Luis Obispo, 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 San Luis Obispo neighborhoods where plumbing updates to meet current building codes can add thousands to your replacement costs.

Here’s what many San Luis Obispo 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 San Luis Obispo who calculated that one bathtub replacement equals the cost of refinishing 8-10 units. For rental property owners in competitive areas near universities or resorts refinishing makes exceptional financial sense.

Well, that depends on who you hire to refinish your bathtub! NuFinishPro will protect the other areas of your bathroom by carefully masks off the work area to protect your home or business. After the job is done, and make sure the work area looks as good after we are gone as it did when we arrived.

Every project is different. The price depends on the amount of work we need to do, the condition of your bathtub, the size of your bathtub, and the color you desire. Other things include, any previous work done on the bathtub, or were there any past repairs made. Call us for a free estimate or email us.

The newly applied finish on the bathtub will last 5 to 10 years. The amount of daily use, wear, and tear will affect the life of the newly applied finish.

We can color match any solid color in the Benjamin Moore or the Sherwin Williams paint decks. NuFinishPro also carries a wide variety of granite-like finishes that simulate the look of granite.

NuFinishPro offers refinishing services for your bathtub, countertop, shower, sink, and tiles.

A warranty is only as good as the company standing behind it. NuFinishPro has been in the bathtub refinishing business since 1987. Let us put our over 3 decades of experience to work for you. We cover our labor and material for a full 5-years for residential work and a 3-year warranty for commercial projects. Our warranty does not cover accidental damage or failure to follow care and maintenance instructions.

We can refinish built-in bathtubs, corner bathtubs, clawfoot bathtubs, drop-in bathtubs, garden bathtubs, Jacuzzi bathtubs, walk-in bathtubs, whirlpool bathtubs, etc.

Absolutely! We are registered with the state of California and our contractors’ license # is 1059225. We carry five million dollars’ worth of liability insurance with Country Financial.
