Bathtub Repair

Why Replace When We Can Repair? Your Crack-Free Tub Awaits

If you’ve considered replacing your old, cracked tub, don’t rush to rip it out just yet. At Fox Valley Bathtub Refinishing, we believe that if you have an old bathtub, it doesn’t mean you need a full replacement. We offer professional bathtub and shower repair, which is usually faster, cleaner, and way more affordable. Whether you’re in St. Charles or the nearby Chicago area, our team can bring your bathtub and showers back to life.

Why Repairing Your Bathtub Makes Sense

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that a small crack or chip can lead to more significant problems down the line. Water seeps through these weak spots, eventually causing mold and mildew, and can even damage the structure beneath your bathroom floor. Mold remediation and subfloor repairs aren’t cheap, so acting quickly is key.

A complete bathtub replacement, which can include removal, a new tub, and plumbing work, can easily soar above $3,000. Factor in the hassle of demolition, hauling, and days without a working bathroom, and repair just makes more sense. This is especially true when the finished product both looks and feels like new.

We Fix All Types of Tubs and Showers

At Fox Valley Bathtub Refinishing, we handle cracks, chips, scratches, leaks, and holes on almost every material out there:

  • Porcelain

  • Fiberglass

  • Acrylic

  • Cultured marble

  • Vitreous china

If your tub has seen better days, chances are we can make it right. We don’t just patch and run. Our repairs leave your surface smooth, strong, and color-matched to perfection, so the fix is practically invisible.

How Our Bathtub and Shower Repair Works

Our process is designed to deliver lasting results and exceptional appearance. First, we prep and clean the area, then fill chips, cracks, or holes with a proprietary epoxy-type material. Next, we blend the repair using an air-brush technique, making the fix disappear into the rest of your tub or shower. Professional color matching ensures your repair blends in, often down to the original sheen.

DIY repairs may be tempting, but matching color and finish can be tricky. That’s why so many homeowners have trusted our experienced team for flawless results they can count on.
