About fiberglass tub & shower
Yellowing, chalky finish and small surface cracks can often be fixed without opening the walls. If the floor feels soft or moves under you, we'll check the support before recommending a coating.
Materials: Fiberglass, gel coat, one-piece units
- Chalky, faded gel coat. The surface feels powdery and looks gray or yellow even right after cleaning.
- Hairline or spider cracks. Small cracks around the drain or on the floor let water reach the fiberglass layers underneath.
- Ground-in stains. Porous, worn gel coat absorbs dirt in the textured floor that no cleaner removes.
- Soft spots underfoot. If the floor feels soft or moves under you, the support needs checking before coating.
- Mismatched repair patches. Old DIY patch kits that turned a different shade than the rest of the unit.
Our full process
- 1.
Inspect & protect
We check the unit for cracks, leaks and flex, then protect the room and set up ventilation.
- 2.
Deep clean & strip
We clean off soap film and old wax and strip any failing coating.
- 3.
Repair cracks & soft spots
We repair stable surface cracks. Soft or flexing floors need support repair before refinishing.
- 4.
Scuff & bond primer
We scuff the surface and apply a primer suited to fiberglass.
- 5.
Spray multiple coats
We coat the walls, ledges and floor evenly so repaired areas blend in.
- 6.
Cure & caulk
Allow 24 to 48 hours before use. We replace caulk where needed.
- 7.
Photo report
We send before-and-after photos and care instructions.
What can change the price
- Unit size (tub/shower combo vs. walk-in stall)
- Number and length of cracks
- Floor support repairs needed before coating
- Previous coatings to strip
- Color change from almond or bone to white
Refinish vs. replace
| Factor | Refinishing | Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | From $425 | $2,500–$6,000+ (walls often opened to remove) |
| Time | 1 visit | 1–2 weeks |
| Drywall & framing | Untouched | Units usually must be cut out |
| Shower use | 24–48 hours | Out of service through the project |
if the floor flexes badly or the unit leaks into the subfloor, the support structure may be failing and replacement can be the better choice. We'll tell you before we take the job.
Fiberglass Tub & Shower FAQ
Can you fix a cracked fiberglass shower floor?
Small, stable surface cracks can often be repaired. We check the floor first. If it flexes or feels soft, the support needs attention before a new finish.
When is replacement the better option?
If the floor moves when you stand on it, leaks or has rotten support, a coating won't fix that. I'll tell you if repair or replacement makes more sense.
Will the textured floor stay textured?
We can keep a light texture or discuss a slip-resistant finish for the floor.
Can my almond fiberglass unit become white?
Yes. An almond unit can be changed to white in the same refinishing visit.
What cleaners should I use afterward?
Use mild liquid cleaners, such as dish soap, with a soft cloth. Skip scouring powders, bleach-heavy cleaners and abrasive cleaning pads.
