Bathtub refinishing in Surprise, AZ
Surprise is one of the Valley's newest cities, so most of its tubs are acrylic. But the Original Town Site and nearby Sun City West have steel and cast iron tubs — and those are the ones we come out for.
- Cast iron and steel tubs

- Flat $475, 5-year warranty
What kind of tubs Surprise was built with
Surprise was founded in 1938 and stayed a very small town for half a century. The square mile of the Original Town Site, near Grand Avenue and Greenway, is where its older houses are, and where steel and cast iron tubs still turn up.
The city's growth came with the active-adult and master-planned communities of the 1990s and 2000s: Sun City Grand, Arizona Traditions, Marley Park, Surprise Farms. By then builders were installing acrylic and fiberglass almost exclusively.
Right next door, Sun City West was built from 1978 into the 1990s, and its earlier phases have enameled steel tubs in large numbers. Many of our West Valley calls come from there.

Older houses, older tubs. Cast iron and steel that only need a new surface.
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.
