Original tubs in well-built homes
Pearl City and ʻAiea grew fast in the 1960s and 70s. The hillside subdivisions — Pacific Palisades, Waiau, Newtown, Royal Summit, ʻAiea Heights — and the townhome and condo communities around Waimalu and Pearlridge were mostly built with porcelain-on-steel bathtubs.
Many of those homes are still in the same family, and the tub is the original. After fifty years it's due: the gloss is gone, the drain is rusty, and there may be a chip or two with an orange halo.
A weekday fix, not a remodel
For a multigenerational household, losing a bathroom for two weeks isn't an option. Refinishing takes about three hours, has no odor, and the tub is back in use the next day. You don't need to send kūpuna or keiki out of the house while we work.
Getting a home ready to sell or rent
If you're preparing a longtime family home for sale, the bathrooms are where buyers hesitate. A refinished tub reads as "clean and cared for" for a flat $635 — far less than any replacement. We also serve Hālawa, Salt Lake and the neighborhoods around Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam.

This video shows selected moments from a bathtub reglazing project in Brooklyn using high-quality liquid acrylic. It’s not the full restoration process, but rather a few highlights — including the final glossy result.
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.
