Looking for the Most Trusted Bathtub Refinishing Company in Los Angeles, CA?
Porcelain & Fiberglass Maintenance has been the answer for Los Angeles homeowners, property managers, and hospitality clients since 1955. The oldest refinishing company in the nation. The only one in the country with written endorsements from both Kohler and American Standard. From Hollywood to San Pedro, from Venice to Eagle Rock, the City of Los Angeles has trusted our work for seven decades.
Los Angeles is not one place. It is a hundred neighborhoods stitched together, each with its own character, its own housing stock, and its own bathrooms. A Craftsman bungalow in Highland Park has a cast-iron tub that was installed when the house was built a century ago. A high-rise condo in Downtown has a sleek acrylic unit. A Spanish Colonial in Los Feliz has hand-set tile that is irreplaceable. An apartment building in Koreatown has fiberglass tub-shower combos that have been through a dozen tenants. We refinish all of them.
Porcelain & Fiberglass Maintenance is based in North Hollywood, and we have been serving Los Angeles since 1955. Our technicians know the difference between the original porcelain in a 1920s Hancock Park home and the cultured marble in a 1990s Westside remodel. That knowledge comes from doing this work in Los Angeles homes for seven decades, neighborhood by neighborhood.
The credential that separates us from every other refinishing company in Los Angeles: written endorsements from both Kohler and American Standard. Those two companies tested our aerospace-grade coatings and put their names behind our process. No other refinishing company in the country holds both endorsements. That is the difference between a finish that lasts 10 to 15 years and one that starts peeling within a year. BuildZoom independently scores us at 96 out of 100, placing us in the top 20% of 336,931 licensed contractors across California.

Bathtub Refinishing Across Every Los Angeles Neighborhood
The City of Los Angeles covers a vast range of housing types, and we work in all of them. Here is what we find across the neighborhoods of Los Angeles and what each situation calls for.
Original cast iron and porcelain tubs in the historic neighborhoods. Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Hancock Park, Los Feliz, West Adams, and Angelino Heights have some of the oldest housing stock in Los Angeles. The original cast-iron tubs in these homes are irreplaceable at any reasonable cost. We repair every chip and stain, then apply our aerospace-grade coating to restore them completely. The finished result on a century-old Los Angeles clawfoot tub is one of the most dramatic transformations we produce.
Fiberglass tub-shower combos in the dense rental corridors. Koreatown, Mid-City, Palms, Mar Vista, and the apartment-heavy stretches of the San Fernando Valley within city limits have thousands of fiberglass units that yellow, scratch, and stain through repeated tenancies. We resurface them completely. The unit looks renovated when prospective tenants walk through.
Custom tile and natural stone in the Westside and the hills. Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Bel Air, and the homes in the Hollywood Hills within city limits frequently have custom tile showers and natural stone surfaces. We reglaze tile without removing it and offer diamond honing for marble and travertine, a specialty most Los Angeles refinishing companies do not provide.
Surfaces in short-term rentals near the coast and the attractions. Venice, the area near Hollywood Boulevard, and the neighborhoods close to the Los Angeles tourist corridors have a dense short-term rental market. These bathrooms see heavy use and need finishes that photograph well and hold up. We refinish them with commercial-grade coatings built for high-frequency use.
All Refinishing Services Available Across Los Angeles, CA
One company. Eight services. Every neighborhood in the City of Los Angeles
Bathtub Refinishing
Every tub type across Los Angeles is within our range: porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic, cast iron, cultured marble, and enameled steel. Clawfoot tubs in Highland Park Craftsman homes. Freestanding soakers in Bel Air master bathrooms. Fiberglass combos in Koreatown apartment buildings. Alcove tubs in Valley single-family homes within city limits.
Our aerospace-grade coating bonds at a molecular level to the tub surface rather than sitting on top of it. That is the technical difference between a 10 to 15 year finish and one that fails at month eight. Kohler and American Standard tested this process and endorsed it.

Shower Refinishing
Los Angeles showers range from original tile enclosures in historic homes to prefab fiberglass stalls in apartment buildings to large custom walk-ins in Westside remodels. We refinish all of them across the city: fiberglass stalls, tub and shower combos, custom tile showers, walk-ins, and corner enclosures.
A fresh waterproof surface goes directly over the existing one. No demolition. Staining and yellowing disappear in one visit. We apply non-slip texture to shower floors when requested, which Los Angeles families with seniors and young children ask for regularly.
Sink Refinishing
A chipped or discolored sink is one of the fastest ways to lose a prospective tenant or buyer at a Los Angeles showing. Our sink refinishing service works on porcelain, ceramic, fiberglass, and cultured marble sinks in both bathroom and kitchen applications throughout the city.
Los Angeles customers regularly bundle sink work with a tub or countertop job. Same technician, same visit, multiple surfaces addressed at once. The most efficient way to handle an entire bathroom without multiple scheduling disruptions.
Countertop Refinishing
Tile, laminate, and cultured marble countertops throughout Los Angeles homes and rental units are refinishable. Our countertop service restores the surface and reseals grout lines on tile, giving Los Angeles kitchens and bathrooms a noticeably updated look without any cabinetry work.
For Los Angeles properties with natural marble and travertine, we offer diamond honing and polishing to restore the original depth and clarity. Most refinishing companies in Los Angeles do not offer this. We do it regularly across the Westside, the hills, and the historic neighborhoods.
Ceramic Tile Refinishing
The tile in Los Angeles bathrooms is almost always structurally sound when customers call us. The glaze has worn through, and the grout has absorbed years of soap residue and hard water that cleaning cannot remove. The result looks perpetually dirty regardless of how often it is scrubbed.
Our ceramic tile refinishing puts a fresh glaze coat over the entire surface and seals every grout line. Los Angeles homeowners use it to protect original tile in historic homes that would be expensive to replicate, and landlords use it during turnover to make a dated bathroom look renewed.
Senior Bathtub Conversion
Los Angeles has a large and diverse senior population across its residential neighborhoods. Standard bathtub entry becomes a safety issue as people age, and a fall in the bathroom is one of the most common serious injuries for seniors. We cut a low-threshold step-in entry into the existing tub, refinish the surface, and apply a non-slip floor coating.
Done in a single day with no demolition. For Los Angeles families helping a parent stay safely in a home they have lived in for decades, this is the practical alternative to a full bathroom remodel.
Faux Stone Finish
Our Faux Stone Finish applies a speckle coat glaze that creates a granite-like appearance on sinks, countertops, shower walls, tub surrounds, and backsplashes. Los Angeles property managers use it to upgrade rental units, short-term rental operators use it to improve aesthetics, and homeowners use it for a contemporary look without replacing anything.
The finish is moisture-resistant, stain-resistant, and durable for daily wet-environment use. It works especially well on laminate countertops and single-mold sinks throughout Los Angeles.
Surface Restoration
Some Los Angeles jobs go beyond standard refinishing. Deep chips in original porcelain. Cracks in fiberglass around hardware. Rust at original plumbing fittings in older homes. Knife marks on laminate countertops in rental units that need a complete surface update.
Our restoration service handles surface repair and refinishing across the full range of bathroom and kitchen fixtures in Los Angeles in a single visit. Multiple surfaces addressed, unit ready the next morning. For Los Angeles landlords running tight turnover schedules, the most efficient approach.
The Quality Standard Los Angeles Homes Deserve
Los Angeles has no shortage of refinishing companies. Most are one- or two-person operations working from a pickup truck with automotive spray equipment and no long-term warranty. The finishes they produce last 12 to 18 months if the surface preparation was adequate. When it is not, the finish starts separating within a year.
Our technicians work directly for Porcelain & Fiberglass Maintenance. Not subcontractors. Not franchise operators. Every technician is trained in our proprietary preparation protocol and coating process. They understand the difference between the original porcelain in a 1925 Hancock Park home and the acrylic unit in a Downtown high-rise. They know why surface preparation determines whether a finish lasts 15 years or 15 months. Family-owned since 1955. The City of Los Angeles has been our home and our service territory from the day we opened.
Los Angeles Property Managers and Rental Property Owners
The City of Los Angeles has one of the largest rental markets in the country. From the apartment corridors of Koreatown and Mid-City to the rental homes of the San Fernando Valley within city limits, property managers across Los Angeles need refinishing that turns units fast and holds up through multiple tenancies. We schedule efficiently around tenant turnover windows, deliver consistent quality, and provide direct invoicing to property management companies. Volume pricing is available for accounts managing multiple Los Angeles properties.
The same company refinishing Los Angeles rental units has completed surface work for the Beverly Hilton, the Biltmore Los Angeles, Hilton Hotels, Holiday Inn, the Westin Bonaventure, and Radisson. Hospitality clients at that level measure results in repeat contracts. Ours keep coming back.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathtub Refinishing in Los Angeles, CA
I have an original cast-iron clawfoot tub in my Highland Park home in Los Angeles. Is refinishing better than replacing it?
Yes. An original cast iron clawfoot tub is one of the finest fixtures we work with, and the cast iron itself is almost always sound. The porcelain chips and yellows over time, but those are surface conditions, not structural failures. We repair every chip until seamless, then apply our aerospace-grade coating to the interior and exterior. The finished tub looks the way it did when installed. No modern replacement in Los Angeles compares to the quality of the original.
How much does bathtub refinishing cost in Los Angeles, CA?
The cost depends on the tub material, size, and condition. Refinishing is significantly more affordable than replacement, which adds demolition, plumbing, tile surround repair, and labor on top of the fixture cost. We provide free no-obligation quotes for every Los Angeles job. Call 1-800-719-6996.
How long does a refinished bathtub last in Los Angeles, CA?
With proper care, 10 to 15 years or more. Non-abrasive cleaners, avoiding suction-cup bath mats, and rinsing after use are the main care factors. Our coating bonds at a molecular level to the substrate, which is why it significantly outlasts the standard spray-on products used by many Los Angeles companies.
Do you serve my Los Angeles neighborhood?
Almost certainly yes. We serve the entire City of Los Angeles from our North Hollywood office, including Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Koreatown, Mid-City, Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Venice, Mar Vista, Palms, San Pedro, the Hollywood Hills, Hancock Park, West Adams, and the San Fernando Valley neighborhoods within city limits. Call 1-800-719-6996.
Can you refinish a custom tile shower in my Los Angeles home without removing the original tile?
Yes. Our ceramic tile refinishing applies a fresh glaze coat over the existing tile and seals the grout lines. The original tile work is not disturbed, removed, or replaced. The shower looks completely renewed while every piece of the original design is preserved. This matters in the historic Los Angeles neighborhoods where original tile is expensive or impossible to replicate.
Is bathtub refinishing in Los Angeles, CA safe for a household with children or pets?
Yes. The process takes 3 to 5 hours on-site. The odor during application dissipates completely during the 24-hour curing period with proper ventilation. Once cured, the coating is non-toxic and completely safe for children, pets, and the household.
Can you change the color of my tub during refinishing in Los Angeles, CA?
Yes. Color changes are common in Los Angeles, especially updating a dated 1960s or 1970s color to white. We refinish in white, off-white, bone, biscuit, almond, gray, and custom colors. A color change adds no significant time to the job.
How quickly can you schedule bathtub refinishing in Los Angeles, CA?
Our office is in North Hollywood, so we service every Los Angeles neighborhood regularly and can typically schedule within a few days of your call. For property managers with urgent turnover timelines, call 1-800-719-6996 to check current availability.
