Rain, humidity and old enamel
Kāneʻohe sits right against the Koʻolau range and gets some of the highest rainfall of any populated part of the island. Bathrooms here stay damp, and worn tub enamel shows it: grey, porous surfaces that hold mildew stains, and rust wherever a chip has opened the metal.
A poured refinish puts a thick, non-porous layer over the entire tub. Stains wipe off instead of soaking in, and water can no longer reach the steel or iron underneath.
The homes we work in
Most of Kāneʻohe's housing dates from the 1950s through the 70s — neighborhoods like Pikoiloa, Keapuka, Puohala and ʻĀhuimanu, plus townhome communities such as Temple Valley and Haʻikū. Steel alcove tubs are the norm, with cast iron in some of the older houses.
Military families and rentals
With Marine Corps Base Hawaii next door, many Kāneʻohe homes are rented on two- and three-year cycles. Refinishing between tenants is quick — about three hours of work, ready the next day — and makes a tired bathroom show well for a flat $635. More for landlords on our condos and rentals page.

At the end, we run a coin across the surface to test the durability of the finish. No scratches. No marks. Just a tough, long-lasting coating.

Questions
Kāneʻohe questions, answered.
How much does bathtub refinishing cost in Kāneʻohe?
A standard steel or cast iron tub is a flat $635, the same as everywhere we work on Oʻahu. Repairs, coating, caulking and a 5-year warranty are included.
Does all the rain and humidity affect curing?
We allow for local conditions, and the standard guidance holds: keep the tub completely dry for 24 hours.
My tub has mildew stains that won't come out. Will refinishing help?
Yes. Stains settle into worn, porous enamel. The new surface is non-porous, so it cleans with a wipe.
Do you go as far as Kahaluʻu?
Yes. For points farther up the coast, call and we'll arrange a day.
