About Bathtub Replacement & Refinishing in Dana Point
Many Dana Point homes from the 1960s–80s still have original cast-iron or steel tubs. If the tub is sound, refinishing gives it a bright, new surface in a day. If it's leaking, rusted through or the wrong size, we replace it.
Freestanding tubs are a favorite in primary suites, especially paired with natural stone or a tiled feature wall. They need floor space and a floor-mounted or wall-mounted filler, which we plan before ordering.
We remove and haul away heavy cast-iron tubs safely and inspect the subfloor underneath for water damage.

Refinish or Replace?
Refinish when the tub is solid but stained, chipped or dated. Replace when there are leaks, soft spots, cracks in the shell, or you want a different style.
We'll inspect your tub and give you both options in writing.
