Licensed and insured commercial cosmetic bathtub repair company owned by second-generation contractor and Oklahoma native with twenty years of experience. We specialize in cosmetic and structural bathtub repairs for hotels, apartments, and commercial construction companies. Our repairs range from new tubs damaged during construction to worn tubs with years of use.

Unlike most of the tub repair industry, we do not "totally refinish" bathtubs (cover tubs in paint). We repair only what is damaged and create custom colors on the job to match the tub's factory finish. Our approach reduces the amount of material and money used on tub repairs.

Our Work: Before and After Photos (click on image to magnify)

Before 1: At Quality Bathtub Repair our success is built on doing what most of the bathtub repair industry does not. A prime example of the group think we strive to avoid, with our business model, is completely refusing to use foam.

Before 2: The majority of the bathtub repair industry prefers to use foam because it is easy to install, cheap, and seems logical. "Support the cracked floor with foam." Sounds like a reasonable solution but what you get with foam repairs are failed tubs and large, spongy, rotting messes.

After: Our repair process is, obviously, proprietary but this particular job was four day event with considerable material and expense; one that would have been much less involved and less expensive had we been called at the first sign of damage.

 

Before: Bondo is a favorite of our "competition" since it is cheap and wrongly assumed to be applicable for structural repairs. Bondo should never be used in tub repair because, one, it is an automotive product and, two, is not designed to support the weight of human beings. We never use Bondo.

After: After removing the Bondo from the previous repair we replaced it with a weigh-bearing repair and refinished in a color matching the tub's factory finish. Hotel and Property Managers, may we humbly suggest you call us first? We will save you the cost of multiple repairs.

Before: This hotel's bathtubs, seen peeling, were unnecessarily painted because a refinishing company, hired prior to our entry on scene, could not to perform matching spot repairs, for chips, nor did it have the proper material to remove metal scratches and rust without painting. Result: they covered every tub in paint not matching the tub's factory finish.

After: We removed the previous tub repair company's cheap car paint and found this hotel's relatively new tubs had a few chips, in the porcelain, plus metal and rust scratches from the construction process. Hardly anything that warranted covering them in paint. We removed the scratches and rust, repaired the chips and performed spot repairs matching tubs' factory finish.

Before: Handicap walk in fiberglass shower unit with an air pocket in the soap dish.

After: We dug out the wet, corrupted fiberglass, replaced with solid filler, rebuilt the curb, and refinished in color matching shower's factory finish.

Before: This hotel had previously refinished tubs with some rust around the drains, often a sign tubs have months, not years, remaining.

After: Since the hotel's operations budget did not allow for replacing the tubs, we stripped the old paint, performed needed spot repairs, and put in new non-slip floors.

Before: This commercial construction company found it had several damaged tubs, after the construction process, including this one with a hole in the outside skirt.

After: We first put in a backing for strength then performed a series of cosmetic repairs and refinished to match the tub's factory finish.

Before: This downtown OKC four star hotel spend millions on room and bathroom renovations, and expected to spend thousands pulling out brand new shower pans chipped during the construction process.

After: Because we are one of the few tub repair companies in the nation that can make custom colors on site we were able to spot repair every damaged shower pan without the cost and mess of refinishing.

Before: 'Bondo on cars, not tubs.' This tub had structural damage previously addressed with Bondo, an automotive body repair material not appropriate for tub repair.

After: This is our finished product after we removed the Bondo, did a proper structural repair, and refinished damaged areas and floor in color matching the tub's factory finish.

Before 1: The GM at this hotel was ordered, by corporate, to hire an out-of-state bathtub refinishing company to totally refinish his tubs. The results are obvious; peeling paint over the entire bathtub.

Before 2: This is a picture of us stripping paint off the refinished tubs. A costly and messy process that would have been unnecessary had the tubs not initially been totally refinished.

After: This is the same tub after our process of repairing only what was needed. In this case a few spot repairs and a new floor. The once refinished tub looks new and never needed to be covered in paint.

BEFORE: Large "spider crack" in wall of fiberglass shower unit. You can see where the wall was previously repaired but failed due to not being structurally supported.

AFTER: After removing the prior tub company's repair materials, we performed a proper structural repair, making the shower wall stronger than it had come from the factory, then refinished it in a color matching the factory finish.

BEFORE: The back rest of this Jacuzzi tub was damaged prior to installation, leaving a large crescent-shaped crack.

AFTER: We first made the protruding portion of the back rest flush with the surface, made structural repairs for strength, cosmetic repairs, then refinished to match. 

BEFORE: The tubs at this hotel were relatively new and, for the most part, in good shape. What the owners didn't like was the factory non-slip pattern wearing out and showing up in the floor, which made the tubs look dirty despite being clean.

AFTER: We replaced and refinished in new non-slip floors for the entire property; hotel owner happy to have his tubs looking new again.

BEFORE: Bondo on cars, not on tubs.

AFTER: We removed the Bondo, did a proper structural repair then refinished damaged area to match surrounding tub.

BEFORE: Everything that could go wrong with a tub, had gone wrong with this one.

AFTER:  After several cleanings we stripped the old paint, repaired the chips, removed all the scratches, etched and primed it, put in a new non-slip floor then sealed and refinished the floor to match the tub's factory color.

Before: Flex in the floor of this apartment's fiberglass tub caused the wall of the tub to separate just above the inside curb.

After: We performed a complete structural repair to the support the floor and inside wall then made a color to match the tub's factory finish. The tub is perfectly sound and looks new at 1/3 of the replacement price.

Before: This is actually two failed repairs (by two other companies). The first repair was a "non-slip" floor (you can see around the drain where a template was used to roll the floor) that does not match the tub's factory finish. The second failed repair was an attempt to cover the rusted drain with another, non-matching, color.

After: We repaired the drain, repaired the tub, and put in a new non-slip floor that matches the tub's factory finish. Oh, and the tub no longer leaks at the drain, saving this hotel a costly replacement.

Before: We don't do a lot of stove tops but, technically, this is a porcelain repair.

After: This custom home builder was happy to NOT be out of pocket for a new stove and oven range.

Before: This fiberglass tub's floor had separated from the wall at the inside curb, plus has other damaged areas due to years of use.

After: We performed needed structural repairs and refinished the floor to match its factory color.

Before: This hotel had the misfortune of another tub "repair" company shooting foam under their tubs to 'support the tub floors and prevent cracking.' Result: no support and lots of cracking, and leaks. Foam under a bathtub provides no support, fosters cracking, due to flex, and becomes a "sponge" once wet from leaks.

Before #2: We removed the foam and replaced it with a solid material that actually supports the tub floor.

After: Once the structural repairs were complete we refinished the floor to match the tub's factory color; no sign a repair was even done.

Before: The home, surrounding this tub, was completely remodeled but the construction company kept the old tub... and used it as a trash bin during the reconstruction process: chips, scratches and stains.

After: We repaired the tub and put in a new non-slip floor to match the home's new look.

Before: This biscuit colored tub was totally refinished in China white (seen peeling due to poor etching or priming) by another tub repair company that did not bother to match color.

After: We cleaned, etched, primed and properly refinishing the tub.

Before: This acrylic Jacuzzi bathtub had developed "crazes" and cracks due to jet and motor vibration.

After: We completely repaired and sealed the cracks and refinished the floor in a factory matching color. (Blue tape, in place to prevent leaking, was removed 24 hours after repair.)

Before: The remodeling company that called us about this tub though it was a loss and needed to be replaced.

After: We made the damaged tub look new saving the remodeling company an expensive replacement. Note: This tub was not totally refinished (covered in paint). We performed spot repairs, put in a new floor and made a custom color on the job to match this tub's factory finish = far less cost, mess and hassle of total refinishing.

Before: This tub got the "treatment" from former tenants with chips, scratches and stains in the porcelain.

After: We turned into the best looking appliance in the apartment and, as you can see, we don't do tile.

Before: This is what an air pocket in the outside rollover of a fiberglass bathtub looks like. Air pockets are factory defects where spaces are left between the outer shell and backing.

After: We cut out the air pocket, filled and strengthened the void before refinishing to make it look like we were never there: Luxury hotel room back in service making money.

Before: Tub liners.... just say NO. This is what a porcelain tub looks like after its nasty, sloshing and unnecessary installed tub liner was cut off and tub cleaned by the hotel's engineering crew (yes "cleaned").

After: This is what the same tub looks like after we finished. Aside from a few chips and worn floor there was nothing seriously wrong with this tub. Certainty nothing warranting a tub liner. (Did we mention to never use tub liners?)

Before: The manager of this luxury apartment thought this tub would have to be pulled.

After: We saved the tub and the property a very expensive replacement.

Before: Worn and stained shower pan

After: Restored to new condition in matching factory finish.

Before: A cleaning crew got a bit "excited" and stripped this tub's floor down to the fiberglass backing.

After: We repaired the tub and refinished it in its original factory color.

Before: Hole knocked in wall of fiberglass Jacuzzi in master bathroom.

After: Repaired and refinished to match original factory finish.
