What kind of tubs Scottsdale was built with
Scottsdale incorporated in 1951, and the neighborhoods south of Indian Bend Road went up right after: low block ranch homes on wide lots, with one or two bathrooms and an enameled steel or cast iron tub in each. Many have been remodeled around the original tub, because pulling it meant losing the tile.
McCormick Ranch, Gainey Ranch and Scottsdale Ranch followed in the 1970s and 80s. Tubs there are mostly steel, in almond and bone as often as white.
North of the 101 — Grayhawk, DC Ranch, Troon — homes date from the 1990s onward and usually have acrylic tubs, which we do not refinish. If yours is one of the cast iron soaking tubs some custom builders installed, a magnet will confirm it.

What tubs in Scottsdale usually need
Short-term rentals
A tub can be refinished on a gap day and be ready for guests the next evening. No odor is left behind for the next check-in.
Almond and bone to white
The 1980s beige tub is the classic McCormick Ranch request. It becomes a clean white without touching the surround.
Pre-sale refresh
In a market where buyers expect finished bathrooms, a white, glossy tub removes one of the cheapest objections to fix.
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 Scottsdale: common questions
Can you work around a short-term rental schedule in Old Town?
Yes. The job takes about three hours and the tub can be used 24 hours later, so one empty night between bookings is enough. Give us the dates as early as you can.
Do you serve North Scottsdale?
Yes, up through Grayhawk, DC Ranch and Troon. Homes there often have acrylic tubs, so please check with a magnet first.
My HOA requires vendor paperwork. Can you provide it?
Send us the building's or HOA's requirements with your request and we will respond to them directly.
Is the price different in Scottsdale?
No. It is the same flat $475 for a standard tub as anywhere in the core of the Valley.
