What kind of tubs Gilbert was built with
Gilbert was a farming town of a few thousand people until the 1980s. Almost everything you see today was built in the three decades that followed, during the years when builders had largely stopped installing enameled steel and cast iron tubs.
The exceptions are worth knowing. The Heritage District and the older streets around downtown have houses from the mid-century and earlier. The first master-planned communities of the 1980s — The Islands, parts of Val Vista Lakes, Neely Farms — include homes with steel tubs. And custom homes on larger lots sometimes have a cast iron soaking tub, new or salvaged.
So the first step in Gilbert is always the same: put a magnet on the tub. If it sticks, send us a photo.

What tubs in Gilbert usually need
The magnet test
Sticks: steel or cast iron, and we can refinish it. Falls off: acrylic or fiberglass, and we are not the right call.
Cast iron in newer homes
Some remodels and custom builds feature a cast iron tub. When its enamel dulls or chips, it refinishes like any other.
1980s steel tubs
The earliest Gilbert subdivisions have steel tubs now forty years old — chipped, dull, and well worth saving.
The same visit, wherever you are in the Valley
Send a photo, get a confirmed price, pick a day. The work itself takes about three hours and the tub is ready 24 hours later.
-
Sand the whole tub
The entire tub is ground and sanded, not just the bad spots. Old caulk, loose coating and rust come off, and the new finish gets a surface it can grip.
-
Deep-clean and dry
The tub is etched, washed, neutralized and washed again, then dried completely — seams included — and wiped down with alcohol. Nothing is left between the tub and the coating.
-
Seal, repair, mask
New flexible caulk goes around the tub, chips and rust spots are repaired, and the tile, floor and fixtures are masked.
-
Pour the coating
The coating is poured along the rim. It runs down the walls, levels itself and closes over the caulk line into one seamless white layer. 24 hours later the tub is ready.
Bathtub refinishing in Gilbert: common questions
Why do you not refinish acrylic or fiberglass tubs?
They flex in use and need different preparation and products. Our pour-on method is made for rigid, porcelain-enameled metal, so that is all we work on.
How do I know what my Gilbert tub is made of?
Hold a fridge magnet to the inside wall. If it sticks, the tub is metal. Our one-minute guide covers the rest.
Do you come to Power Ranch, Seville and south Gilbert?
Yes, all of Gilbert is in our service area.
Do you serve Queen Creek and San Tan Valley?
We can, though for addresses that far out a travel fee may apply. You will have the exact total before booking.
