About shower refinishing
Fiberglass, tile and cultured marble each get the prep they need. Plan on 24 to 48 hours before showering again.
Materials: Fiberglass, ceramic tile, cultured marble
- Stained, dingy shower pan. Floor pans take the most wear and show gray or orange staining first.
- Grout that won't come clean. Discolored grout lines on tiled walls that look dirty after every scrub.
- Dull cultured-marble walls. The gel coat on cultured marble wears away, leaving cloudy or etched patches.
- Cracks near the drain. Hairline cracks where water collects, often in fiberglass and cultured-marble pans.
- Dated color or pattern. A shower stall that still screams 1985 in an otherwise updated bathroom.
Our full process
- 1.
Inspect & protect
We check the material, leaks and cracks, then protect the room and set up ventilation.
- 2.
Deep clean & strip
We remove scale, soap scum and mildew. Failing coating gets methylene-chloride-free stripping.
- 3.
Repair
We repair stable surface cracks and missing or damaged grout.
- 4.
Etch or scuff, then bond primer
We prepare each material for bonding and apply the matching primer.
- 5.
Spray multiple coats
We coat the walls and pan in an even color that is easy to wipe clean.
- 6.
Cure & caulk
After cure, we add fresh caulk at corners and the pan edge.
- 7.
Photo report
You get job photos and care instructions.
What can change the price
- Stall size and wall height
- Material (tile with lots of grout takes more prep)
- Built-in seats, niches and ledges
- Crack or leak repair needed
- New caulk or slip-resistant floor add-ons
Refinish vs. replace
| Factor | Refinishing | Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | From $450 | $4,000–$10,000+ for a re-tiled shower |
| Time | 1 visit | 1–3 weeks |
| Demolition | None | Tile, backer board and pan torn out |
| Shower use | 24–48 hours | Out of service through the remodel |
Refinishing is a surface solution. If water is leaking behind the walls or under the pan, the leak must be fixed first. We'll check for signs during inspection.
Shower Refinishing FAQ
Can you refinish a tiled shower floor?
We check shower pans one by one. Solid fiberglass and cultured marble pans can be refinished. Small tiled pans need solid tile and grout, and we'll discuss grip before coating.
Do you coat over the grout?
Yes. We clean and repair the grout, then coat it with the wall tile in one color.
Can you refinish a cultured-marble shower?
Yes, if the walls are solid. We can apply a fresh solid-color or stone-look finish.
Will the shower be slippery?
A glossy wet floor can be slippery. Ask about a slip-resistant texture for the floor before the job.
Does refinishing fix a leaking shower?
No. Coating won't fix a plumbing leak or failed pan liner. We'll point out signs of leaks before starting.
