Lilburn residential refinishing
Bathtub Refinishing in Lilburn, GA
Lilburn has many brick ranch and split-level homes from the 1960s through the 1980s, along with newer townhomes off Indian Trail. Many still have their original almond, avocado or harvest gold tubs with matching tile. Refinishing updates the color of both without tearing out the bathroom.
Dated colors
Changing the color of a whole bathroom
In older Lilburn homes the tub, wall tile and sometimes the sink were installed as a matched set. Replacing only the tub can leave it clashing with the tile; replacing everything is a full remodel. Refinishing lets you change the color of the tub, the tile, or both.
- Almond and bone tubs that no longer match white fixtures
- Avocado, harvest gold and blue tub-and-tile sets
- Two-tone tile with a contrasting border row
- Tubs refinished before, now peeling or discolored

What tile refinishing involves
Tile is cleaned, damaged grout and loose tiles are repaired, and the surface is coated for a uniform color. It suits sound tile with a dated color. Tile that is falling off the wall, or a wall that is soft behind the tile, needs repair before any refinishing.
Landlords
Preparing a rental for refinishing
Townhomes and rental houses around Lilburn often need a quick bathroom update between tenants. A little preparation keeps the appointment on schedule.
Step 1: Clear the bathroom
Remove bottles, mats, shower curtains and anything stored on the tub ledge or in the tub.
Step 2: Give tenants notice
Let them know which day the bathroom is unavailable and when it can be used again. We confirm that timing when we schedule.
Step 3: Fix leaks first
A dripping faucet or failing caulk should be repaired, or mentioned to us, before the appointment.
Refinish or replace
When refinishing is not the answer
If the tub leaks, the subfloor is soft, tile is coming off a wet wall, or you want a different layout, replacement or repair by a plumber or contractor comes first. Refinishing changes the surface, not what is behind it.
How long a refinished tub can last
Tubs that were refinished poorly in the past need the old coating removed first. Proper stripping and repair is what lets a new finish bond and last.
In our experience it is not uncommon to see tubs we refinished 10–15 years earlier still in excellent condition. That is an observation from our own work, not a guarantee: results depend on the condition of the tub, surface preparation, use and cleaning. Ask about written terms for your project before work begins.

Lilburn homeowner questions
Frequently asked questions
Only the tub looks dated, but the tile matches it. What are my options?
You can refinish the tub and tile together in a new color, refinish only the tile to suit a tub you like, or refinish the tub in a shade that works with the tile you are keeping. We talk through the options when we quote.
Can tile be refinished without regrouting the whole wall?
Usually. Cracked or missing grout and loose tiles are repaired first, then the surface is refinished. See our tile refinishing guide for more detail.
Can an enameled steel tub be refinished?
Yes. Steel tubs refinish well when they are solid. Rust spots are repaired first. A steel tub that flexes noticeably or has rust coming through from below may need replacement.
How should I prepare a rental unit?
Clear the bathroom, tell tenants which day it will be unavailable, and repair any leaks beforehand. We will tell you when the tub can be used again so you can plan the next occupancy.
