Bathtub Refinishing & Reglazing in San Rafael

Built for San Rafael’s bathrooms

Downtown San Rafael, Gerstle Park, Dominican and Sun Valley hold the city’s 1880s–1930s Victorians, Craftsman bungalows and stucco cottages, and a striking number still have their original cast-iron and clawfoot tubs, pedestal sinks and hexagonal tile. Those pieces cannot be bought new, and pulling a cast-iron tub out of a plaster bathroom in a hillside Victorian is a demolition job. Refinishing repairs the chips and rust and puts a fresh, glossy finish over the enamel while the fixture stays put.

North of Puerto Suello Hill, Terra Linda, Lucas Valley and Marinwood are famous for their 1950s–60s Eichler and mid-century homes, whose compact bathrooms have steel tubs, colored ceramic tile and period vanities that owners are increasingly keen to preserve rather than gut. Peacock Gap and Glenwood add 1960s–1980s homes, and the Canal District’s apartment buildings turn over constantly. In every case a refinish — repair, prep and a new durable coating — is the low-disruption choice at up to 75% less than replacement.

Reglazing restores those fixtures in place: we repair chips and rust, then apply a fresh, glossy finish over the existing surface — keeping your tub, sink and tile exactly where they belong. It’s the low-disruption choice — and at up to 75% less than replacement, the budget-friendly one too.
