Acrylic and fiberglass bathtubs are common in modern bathrooms, but over time they can develop cracks, chips, scratches, and surface wear. In many cases, replacement is expensive and unnecessary.

We provide professional acrylic and fiberglass bathtub repair in Chicago, combining surface damage repair with a modern pour-on coating to restore the tub’s appearance and functionality.

This service is designed for bathtubs made of:

Smoothing scratched or worn surfaces

Modern Pour-On Coating for Acrylic Tubs

Instead of outdated reglazing or spray methods, we use a modern pour-on coating that:

Self-levels for a smooth finish
Bonds to properly prepared acrylic and fiberglass surfaces
Creates a uniform appearance after repairs
Eliminates the need for tub replacement in many cases

This approach allows us to combine repair and refinishing into one system, rather than treating them as separate steps.

Is Acrylic Tub Repair Right for Your Bathtub?

Acrylic and fiberglass tub repair is a good option when:

The tub structure is intact
Damage is localized (chips, cracks, surface wear)
You want to avoid demolition and replacement
You’re looking for a cost-effective restoration option

In cases of severe structural failure or extreme flexing, replacement may be recommended instead. We’ll always give you an honest assessment.

Why Repair Instead of Replace?

No demolition or tile removal
Lower cost compared to replacement
Faster turnaround time
Less disruption to your bathroom
Environmentally responsible alternative

Many tubs that appear “beyond repair” can be restored with the right preparation and coating system.

Important Notes About Acrylic & Fiberglass Repair
