Instead of undertaking the costly and often wasteful process of replacing your bathtub because its aesthetic value has faded over time, save thousands of dollars by repairing damage and refinishing the bathtub you already own. All refinishing is performed in place with a fraction of the downtime and cost associated with a renovation.
The cost effective and environmentally conscious choice.
​
Refinishing is generally reserved for cast iron and steel enamel bathtubs but composite bathtubs are accepted on a case by case basis.

HISTORY OF THE COMPANY
The Bathtub Doctor method was perfected in Europe in 1952. A specific process of refinishing the aging porcelain enamel of bathroom fixtures popularized during the early 1900s that were still structurally sound but no longer looking as beautiful as they once had. Since that time branches all across Canada and the United States have been rejuvenating bathroom appliances that would otherwise have been removed and discarded saving untold amounts of waste from our landfills over the decades.
​
Today we continue to restore and repair not only cast iron and steel porcelain enamel fixtures, but also modern fiberglass and acrylic bathroom appliances.
​
By repairing and refinishing what you already own instead of throwing away and replacing with new, the environmental impact of our society is reduced in a significant way while saving you from the substantial expenditure that comes along with renovations.
​
Its a win - win!
