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.
