Why Oʻahu chooses Hawaiian Tubs

A new-looking tub — kinder to your home and the islands.

Replacing a tub means demolition, a plumber, and days without a bathroom. Refinishing brings back the gloss with none of that — and keeps a perfectly good tub out of the landfill.

Poured, not sprayed

A thick, self-leveling coat with no overspray and no spray-booth smell in your home.

A fraction of replacing

No demolition, no tile damage, no plumber, and no hauling a tub down the elevator.

Made for salt air

A hard, sealed surface that shrugs off the humidity that wears island bathrooms down.

Back in about a day

One quiet visit of about 3 hours. Your tub is ready to use 24 hours later.

Our work

Real tubs, before and after.

Same tub, same bathroom — photographed before we start and after the coating is poured.

The pour-on method

We pour the coating on. Most shops spray it.

Spraying lays down a thin, atomized film that can show texture and overspray. We pour our liquid coating on and let it settle flat — calm as a sheltered bay — for a thicker, smoother, more even finish.

01

Prep & mask

We deep-clean and etch the old enamel so the coating can grip, then mask the tile, floor and fixtures.

02

Repair

Chips, rust and the worn drain area are filled and sanded smooth before any coating goes on.

03

Pour-on coat

The coating is poured on and self-levels into a seamless, glass-smooth surface — no overspray.

04

Cure & hand-off

We caulk, clean up and walk you through care. The finish cures hard and is ready in 24 hours.

Why it matters: a poured, self-leveling coat is thicker and more uniform than a sprayed one — a deeper gloss and a surface that wears evenly instead of thinning out at the edges. See how the pour-on method works

What we refinish

Specialists in solid steel and cast iron.

The tubs worth saving — heavy, well-built, and the perfect surface for refinishing. One flat price, whatever the style.

We don't refinish acrylic or fiberglass tubs — refinishing bonds best and lasts longest on porcelain-enamel surfaces over steel or cast iron. Not sure what you have?

Simple, flat pricing

One price, start to finish.

No upsells, no surprise add-ons. A standard tub is refinished complete for one flat rate. Unusual tubs or heavy damage are confirmed up front from your photos.

Good questions

Bathtub refinishing, explained.

How much does bathtub refinishing cost on Oʻahu?
A standard steel or cast iron tub is a flat $635, refinished start to finish — prep, repairs, coating and fresh caulking included. Tubs with an old peeling coating or heavy damage can cost more; we confirm the price from your photos before we come out.
How long does the job take?
About 3 hours, in a single visit. There's no second trip. The tub is ready for normal use 24 hours after we finish.
Is there a smell?
No. The coating is odorless and there are no harsh solvent fumes during or after the job — one reason it works well in condos and occupied homes.
Do you refinish acrylic or fiberglass tubs?
No. We only refinish porcelain-enamel tubs over steel or cast iron, where the coating bonds best and lasts longest. Not sure what you have? See how to tell.
How long does a refinished tub last in Hawaii's humidity?
The coating cures into a hard, sealed surface made to resist moisture and salt air. With normal care it can last up to 15 years, and the finish carries a 5-year warranty. We leave you simple do's and don'ts to keep it looking new.
Do you work in condos and occupied units?
Yes. The coating is odorless and the job is done in a single visit — a good fit for Honolulu condos, apartments and occupied rentals. More on condos and rentals.
How is pour-on different from spray refinishing?
Spraying lays down a thin, atomized film that can show texture. Pouring lets the coating self-level into a thicker, glass-smooth surface with no overspray — a more even, more durable result.
Which parts of Oʻahu do you serve?
Honolulu, Waikīkī, Kailua, Kāneʻohe, ʻAiea, Pearl City, Mililani, Kapolei, ʻEwa Beach, Hawaiʻi Kai, Waipahu, and across the island.
