Peachtree Corners Bathtub & Shower Refinishing for Existing Bathrooms
Updating an existing bathroom in Peachtree Corners usually means looking at the shower as well as the tub. Refinishing and reglazing can renew a bathtub, a shower pan or floor, and sound tile walls in place, so you can choose the surfaces that need attention without a tear-out.
Tub, shower or both
Which surfaces to refinish in your bathroom layout
The right scope depends on how the bathroom is laid out and which surfaces are showing wear. This table is a starting point for the conversation.
| Your bathroom | Surfaces to consider | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Primary bath with a separate tub and stall shower | The tub, the shower pan and, if dated, the shower wall tile | Doing both in one project keeps the finish and color consistent across the room. |
| Hall bath with a tub-shower combination | The tub plus its tile or one-piece surround | The tub floor and the lower surround usually wear first; matching the two avoids a patchwork look. |
| Stall shower only | The shower pan or floor, and the walls if the tile is sound | A stained pan can often be refinished on its own if the walls still look good. |
| Guest or basement bath with light use | Whichever surface looks worn or dated | Low-use baths often need only one surface renewed to look clean again. |
Before refinishing a shower
Is it the surface, or is water getting in?
Showers take more water than tubs, so it matters whether a problem is cosmetic or a sign of a leak. Refinishing fixes the first kind. Use these signs to tell them apart before you request an estimate:
- Stains, dull spots and wear around the drain are surface problems refinishing can address
- A dated tile or fixture color is a surface problem
- Loose or hollow-sounding tile means water may be getting behind it; that is repaired first
- Water stains on a ceiling below, or a soft floor next to the shower, point to a leak, not the surface
- Mildew that returns in the same caulk line usually means the caulk joint needs to be renewed

Fiberglass, acrylic and tile showers
Fiberglass and acrylic stalls dull and stain in the floor first. Qualifying cracks are repaired before refinishing, as long as the floor is firm underfoot.
Tile showers can be refinished when the tile is firmly attached and the grout is intact. The coating covers tile and grout lines in one uniform color.
The tub next to it can be refinished in the same color so the room matches. For tub-specific questions, see refinishing vs. replacement.

How long a refinished tub can last
Unique Refinishers has refinished bathtubs for more than 55 years. Wiping a shower dry after use and choosing non-abrasive cleaners help the finish 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.

Peachtree Corners homeowner questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you refinish a shower as well as a bathtub?
Yes. Shower pans and floors, fiberglass and acrylic shower stalls, and sound ceramic tile walls can all be refinished. The same checks apply as for a tub: the surface has to be solid and the problem has to be on the surface, not a leak behind it.
Our primary bath has a separate tub and shower. Should we refinish both?
If both look worn or the color is dated, refinishing them together keeps the room consistent. If only one is a problem, it can be done on its own. Send photos of both and tell us what bothers you about each.
Will refinishing stop my shower from leaking?
No. Refinishing renews the surface; it does not repair a failed shower pan liner, a plumbing leak or water damage behind the tile. Those need to be fixed first, and we will tell you if we see signs of them.
Can a shower floor be made less slippery?
A textured, slip-resistant finish can be added to a tub bottom or shower floor during refinishing. See our slip-resistant bottoms page.
We only have one shower. How long will it be out of use?
The refinished surface has to stay dry while it cures, so plan for the shower to be unavailable for that period. We confirm the timing when we schedule; our drying and curing guide explains why it matters.
