Serving Woodland Hills Families and Homeowners Since 1955. Preserving the Original Fixtures That Made These Homes Worth Keeping
Bathtub Refinishing in Woodland Hills, CA
Woodland Hills sits at the far western edge of the San Fernando Valley, and the homes here reflect it. This isn’t a transient neighborhood. Families put down roots in Woodland Hills. The homes in Walnut Acres, the Woodland Hills Country Club area, and the residential streets that run south toward Mulholland have been lived in and cared for over decades. The bathrooms in these homes have original fixtures that are worth restoring, not ripping out.
We’ve been making that argument in Woodland Hills since 1955. A cast iron tub from 1963 in a home on Topanga Canyon is a better fixture than what you’d install to replace it. A tile shower that’s structurally solid but showing years of wear doesn’t need to come out. It needs the right treatment from people who understand what they’re looking at.
Porcelain & Fiberglass Maintenance, Inc is the oldest refinishing company in the United States. Our office is in North Hollywood, and Woodland Hills has been part of our service territory since the beginning. We hold written endorsements from both Kohler and American Standard. Those endorsements came from two of the most recognized names in bathroom fixtures evaluating our coatings and deciding they were worth backing. For Woodland Hills homeowners who want their original fixtures preserved the right way, we’re the right company.
What Our Technicians Find in Woodland Hills, CA
Every neighborhood has a signature. Here’s what we typically find in Woodland Hills homes, and what each situation calls for.
Cast iron and porcelain tubs in Walnut Acres and Country Club homes. The established neighborhoods in Woodland Hills have original bathroom fixtures that were built to last. Cast iron tubs from the 1960s and early 1970s are among the most durable fixtures ever manufactured. When the porcelain surface chips at the drain and stains at the overflow, the tub itself is perfectly sound. We repair the damage completely, level the surface, and apply our aerospace-grade coating. Woodland Hills homeowners are consistently surprised by how a tub they were ready to replace looks when we’re finished.
Fiberglass and acrylic units in newer Woodland Hills developments. The condos and townhomes that came up along the Topanga Canyon corridor and near the Promenade in the 1980s and 1990s have fiberglass and acrylic fixtures. These yellow predictably over time and develop surface wear around the drain. We resurface them completely in a single visit. The finish looks new because the coating bonds at a level that standard spray-on products don’t reach.
Mid-century tile showers that look worse with every cleaning. Woodland Hills has a strong mid-century foundation, and many of those homes have had bathroom updates over the decades that included custom tile showers. The tile is solid. The glaze is gone. Cleaning products have degraded the grout past the point where scrubbing helps. Our ceramic tile refinishing process recoats the entire surface and seals every grout line. The bathroom looks like the tile was just installed.
Cultured marble and laminate that has given up. Many Woodland Hills bathrooms and kitchens have countertops in cultured marble or laminate that were installed during remodels in the 1980s and 1990s. Both materials have a point where they look irretrievably old regardless of how often they’re cleaned. We restore cultured marble and refinish laminate. For homeowners who want a completely different look, our Faux Stone finish is a popular option.
Our Full Range of Services in Woodland Hills, CA
Bathtub Refinishing in Woodland Hills, CA
Every tub type found in Woodland Hills is within our range: porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic, cast iron, cultured marble, enameled steel. Alcove tubs, clawfoot tubs, drop-ins, corner units, walk-ins, soakers. The age and character of each fixture shapes how we approach the work.
The coating technology we use was developed for aerospace applications. It bonds at a molecular level to the tub surface rather than sitting on top of it. That’s why our finishes last 10 to 15 years under normal use while standard spray-on products from other companies often start failing within a year or two. Kohler and American Standard reviewed our process and endorsed our work in writing. Woodland Hills homeowners who’ve seen what happens when cheaper refinishing fails understand why that distinction matters.
We’re not the least expensive option in Woodland Hills. We’re the option that doesn’t have to be redone.
Every Woodland Hills bathtub refinishing job includes:
- Surface cleaning and chemical degreasing
- Complete chip, crack, rust, and damage repair
- Proprietary multi-coat coating application
- Glossy finish in any color you choose
- Full cleanup before we leave

Shower Refinishing in Woodland Hills, CA
Woodland Hills showers range from original fiberglass units in mid-century builds to large custom tile walk-ins in updated properties. Our shower refinishing service covers all of them: prefab fiberglass stalls, tub-shower combos, custom tile showers, walk-ins, corner units, and neo-angle enclosures throughout Woodland Hills.
The refinishing process lays a fresh waterproof surface directly over the existing one. No demolition. Staining, yellowing, and surface damage go away in one visit. Non-slip floor texture is available and frequently requested for Woodland Hills homes with older residents or families with young children.
Sink Refinishing in Woodland Hills, CA
A chipped or discolored sink in a Woodland Hills bathroom registers immediately, even when the rest of the space is well-maintained. It’s a detail that Woodland Hills homeowners and prospective buyers notice. Our sink refinishing service works on porcelain, ceramic, fiberglass, and cultured marble sinks, both bathroom and kitchen.
Bundling sink refinishing with a bathtub or countertop appointment is common for Woodland Hills customers. One visit, one disruption, multiple surfaces addressed at the same time.
Countertop Refinishing in Woodland Hills, CA
Tile, laminate, and cultured marble countertops throughout Woodland Hills homes can all be refinished. Our countertop service restores the surface and reseals grout lines on tile, giving Woodland Hills kitchens and bathrooms an updated appearance without cabinetry work or plumbing changes.
Diamond honing and polishing of natural marble and travertine countertops, shower walls, and floors is available for Woodland Hills properties with natural stone surfaces. Most refinishing companies serving Woodland Hills don’t offer this. We do.
Ceramic Tile Refinishing in Woodland Hills, CA
The tile in most Woodland Hills bathrooms that needs attention isn’t failing structurally. The glaze has worn through and the grout has absorbed years of cleaning products and mineral deposits that no scrubbing will fully remove. That’s a surface problem, and surface problems are what we fix.
Our ceramic tile refinishing service applies a fresh glaze coat and seals the grout lines completely. Tub surrounds, shower walls, backsplashes, vanity tops. Woodland Hills homeowners use this service to completely transform the look of a bathroom without a retile.
Faux Stone Finish in Woodland Hills, CA
Our Faux Stone Finish applies a speckle coat glaze that creates a granite-like appearance on sinks, countertops, shower walls, tub surrounds, and backsplashes. Woodland Hills homeowners updating kitchens and bathrooms that have good structural bones but look dated use this service to achieve a completely different aesthetic without a renovation.
The finish is moisture-resistant, stain-resistant, and built for daily use in wet environments. It works particularly well on single-mold sinks and laminate countertops in Woodland Hills homes that are solid but visually ready for a change.
Our Technicians in Woodland Hills
Every Woodland Hills job is completed by a trained technician who works directly for Porcelain & Fiberglass Maintenance, Inc. Not a franchise operator. Not a subcontractor.
Our technicians understand what distinguishes a 1963 cast iron tub from a 1990 acrylic unit. They know why surface preparation is the determinative step in whether a finish lasts 15 years or 15 months. That understanding doesn’t come from a training manual. It accumulates over years of doing this work in homes like the ones in Woodland Hills.
We’ve been family-owned since 1955. Same ownership, same standards. Woodland Hills homeowners who value the continuity of working with a company that has been in their community for decades tend to recognize that when they see the finished work.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathtub Refinishing in Woodland Hills, CA
My Woodland Hills home has the original cast iron tub from 1964. My contractor says replace it. What do you say?
We’d say look at the tub before making that decision. Cast iron tubs from the 1960s are genuinely superior fixtures, heavier, better heat retention, and more durable than anything being manufactured today at a comparable price point. If the porcelain surface is chipped and stained but the tub itself is structurally sound, refinishing is the right answer. We’ve restored hundreds of original cast iron tubs in Woodland Hills homes that contractors had written off. Homeowners are consistently glad they didn’t follow that advice.
I'm preparing my Woodland Hills home for sale. Will refinishing the bathtub actually make a difference to buyers?
Yes, a meaningful one. Buyers form impressions of bathrooms quickly and a worn or stained tub registers immediately as a deferred maintenance issue, even when everything else in the home is in good shape. A professionally refinished tub looks new and signals that the home has been cared for. It’s one of the highest-ROI pre-sale improvements available for a bathroom.
How long does bathtub refinishing take in Woodland Hills, CA?
Most Woodland Hills jobs take 3 to 5 hours on-site. The surface needs 24 hours to cure before it can be used. Our technician comes in the morning, finishes by early afternoon, and the bathroom is back in full use the following day.
We have a mid-century tile bathroom in our Woodland Hills home that we want to preserve but it looks terrible. Can it be saved without retiling?
Almost certainly. Mid-century tile is worth preserving, the materials and craftsmanship from that era are genuinely different from modern mass-produced tile. If the tile itself is intact, what you’re dealing with is worn glaze and compromised grout. Our ceramic tile refinishing process applies a fresh glaze coat over the entire surface and seals the grout lines. The original tile character is preserved. The bathroom looks restored without losing the period detail.
Is the refinishing process disruptive to daily life in a Woodland Hills home?
Minimally. We need the bathroom to be unoccupied during the application and for the 24-hour curing period afterward. The work itself takes 3 to 5 hours. There’s an odor during application that we always ventilate properly and that fully dissipates during curing. Most Woodland Hills households plan around it the same way they’d plan around any single-day home service.
How much does bathtub refinishing cost in Woodland Hills, CA?
It depends on the tub’s material, size, and condition. Refinishing is significantly more affordable than replacement, which adds demolition, plumbing adjustments, tile surround repair, and contractor labor on top of the new fixture cost. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for Woodland Hills jobs. Call 1-800-719-6996 or fill out our online form.
Do you work on fiberglass shower enclosures in Woodland Hills condos and newer builds?
Yes. Fiberglass enclosures are one of the most common jobs we handle in Woodland Hills. They yellow over time and develop surface wear around the drain that cleaning can’t fix. We resurface them completely, same aerospace-grade coating, same preparation process, same result as any other fixture type.
