Shower Pan Refinishing & Reglazing
Shower pan refinishing restores a worn, stained or hairline-cracked shower base — fiberglass, acrylic, cultured marble or tile — to a smooth, watertight, like-new floor in a single visit. Reglazing and resurfacing are the same service under other names: cracks and soft spots repaired, the old texture leveled, and a durable coating bonded to the pan you already have, with a slip-resistant finish on request.

What is shower pan refinishing?
Shower pan refinishing — also called reglazing or resurfacing — restores the floor of your shower instead of cutting it out. We deep-clean the base, repair hairline cracks and soft spots, level out the worn factory texture, etch and prime the surface, then spray a commercial-grade coating that leaves the pan smooth, uniform in color and sealed against water and stains. It can be done on its own or with the walls as part of a full shower refinishing.

A shower pan has two jobs: look and feel like a clean floor, and keep water out of the house. Refinishing is the answer for the first — not a substitute for a plumbing repair on the second.
Refinishing fixes Refinishing
- Worn, pitted or discolored factory texture on a fiberglass or acrylic floor
- Hairline cracks, crazing and spider cracks in the gelcoat
- Rust, hard-water and mildew stains that no cleaner removes
- Chips and gouges from dropped bottles or tools
- A soft, flexing floor — rebuilt with an inlay before coating
- Dated colors on a tile or cultured-marble base, with grout lines sealed
Refinishing does not fix
- A leak at the drain: water escaping below the pan comes from the drain assembly or the pan liner, and that is a plumbing repair
- A failed pan liner under a tiled floor — the tile has to come up to replace it
- A base cracked all the way through with no support beneath it
- Rotten subfloor or framing under the pan
- Mold inside the walls or behind the pan
If water shows up on the ceiling below or outside the shower, have a plumber test the drain and pan first; once the leak is fixed, the cosmetic damage is what refinishing is for. A hairline crack on a pan that still sits on a solid floor is a repair we make every week. Bathroom floors are covered under tile floor refinishing, and the walls above the pan under tile & wall refinishing.
5 Simple Steps to a Like-New Finish
Our proven process has been refined over 10 years to deliver consistent, stunning results every time.
*Repairing chips, cracks and other damage may carry an additional cost, quoted upfront before we begin.
Inspect & Clean
~30 minWe inspect the fixture and deep-clean the surface to remove soap scum, body oils and residue.
Acid Wash
~20 minAn acid wash strips and opens up the surface so the new coating can bond permanently.
Surface Refinishing
~90 minThe heart of the job, done in three stages. Repair: every chip, crack and worn spot is filled and repaired for a smooth, solid base. Sanding & surface prep: the entire surface is sanded and prepped so the new finish grips and lasts for years. Deep wash: a final deep wash removes every trace of dust and residue so nothing interferes with the coating.
Prime Coating
~30 minA bonding primer is applied as the foundation for a durable, lasting finish.
Reglaze
~60 minMultiple coats of commercial-grade coating are sprayed on for a smooth, glossy, like-new finish.
Professional Equipment & Techniques
Our technicians use commercial-grade spray systems and premium coatings for a factory-new finish every time.

Slip-resistant finish, cure time and care
You stand on the pan, so grip, cure time and cleaning matter more here than anywhere else.
Slip-resistant finish
Most fiberglass pans come with a molded texture that wears grey and holds grime. When we level it, we can build a fine anti-slip texture back into the new coating — grip without the dirt trap. It is optional, applied to the floor only and quoted on inspection.
Cure time
The pan is ready for a first shower about 24 hours after we leave; allow the full 24–48 hours we specify at the appointment before hot water and heavy use. Keep the room ventilated and keep mats and stools out for about a week.
Keeping it clean
Clean with a non-abrasive liquid cleaner and a soft sponge; avoid scouring powders, scrub pads, bleach or acid-based products. If you use a non-slip mat, hang it up after each shower — a mat left in place traps water and can lift the coating. See our aftercare guide and our post on refinishing tile showers and walls.

How much does shower pan refinishing cost?
A shower pan on its own is quoted by its size and condition; as a reference, most full showers — walls and floor together — refinish for $400–$900, far less than cutting out and replacing the base. Here’s how it compares.

Frequently asked questions
A pan on its own is quoted by its size, material and the repairs it needs. As a reference, most full showers refinish for $400–$900, far less than replacing the base. Estimates are free.
Yes. Hairline cracks and crazing are filled and reinforced before refinishing. A floor that flexes or has cracked through is rebuilt with an inlay so the surface is solid before it is coated.
No. Water escaping at the drain comes from the drain assembly or the pan liner beneath the floor — a plumbing repair. Once a plumber has fixed it, refinishing restores the surface.
An inlay is a rigid new floor bonded over a soft or cracked fiberglass base, with the void underneath filled for support. It is then refinished with the rest of the pan so it looks like one piece. See inlay repair for details.
Yes. A fine anti-slip texture can be built into the floor coating. It is optional, applied to the floor only and quoted on inspection.
Yes. Floor tile and grout are coated as one sealed surface, and the walls can be done in the same visit — see tile shower refinishing.
About 24 hours after coating for a first shower. Allow the full 24–48 hour cure window we specify at the appointment before hot water and heavy use, and keep mats out for about a week.
With proper care a refinished shower pan lasts 5–10 years. Every job is backed by our written 2-year warranty against peeling and coating failure under normal use.
