Commercial Bathtub Refinishing for Portland Apartments
Fast turnaround for unit readiness. Bulk pricing for multi-family properties. Minimize vacancy downtime and maximize NOI with professional refinishing.
Apartment turnovers move fast. When a bathtub is stained, chipped, or worn out, replacing it can delay a unit, create extra trades, and increase costs. Bathtub refinishing gives Portland property managers a faster way to make bathrooms look clean and rent-ready. Bathroom Surface Solutions works with apartments, property managers, landlords, and multi-family owners throughout the Portland area. Our commercial bathtub refinishing service helps improve unit appearance without the downtime and cost of full bathtub replacement.
BSS 7-Step Refinishing Process
1. Deep Cleaning & Stripping: Technicians thoroughly remove old caulk, soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits using professional-grade cleaners and an acid wash.
​
2. Surface Repair: Chips, cracks, and scratches are filled and sanded level to ensure the base is completely smooth and flawless.
​
3. Masking & Ventilation Setup: The room is completely sealed with plastic sheeting and tape to protect walls and floors from overspray. They also set up an exhaust system to safely vent out chemical fumes and dust.
​
4. Epoxy Primer Application: They apply four coats of a high-build, high-bond epoxy primer. This ultra-grip layer ensures the new finish adheres perfectly to the old fixture.
​
5. Tacking: The fixture is carefully "tacked" (wiped down) to remove any airborne dust particles that may have settled on the primer.
​
6. Acrylic Urethane Topcoat: Technicians spray five coats of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat with a built-in clear coat, creating a highly durable, high-gloss finish.
​
7. Curing & Detailing: After the coating dries, the masking is removed, the area is carefully cleaned, and the fixture is re-caulked for a watertight seal.
Built for Property Managers and Apartment Turns: Apartment work is different from single-home refinishing. Property managers need predictable scheduling, clean communication, durable results, and crews that understand turnover timelines. We can help restore tubs, showers, tile, countertops, and cabinets across individual units or larger multi-unit projects. This can support multi-family property maintenance, CapEx planning, and faster rent-ready timelines. Lower Cost Than Replacement: Replacing apartment bathtubs can involve demolition, plumbing, disposal, tile repair, and coordination with multiple vendors. Refinishing keeps the existing fixture in place and can often be completed much faster. For owners and operators, that means less disruption, fewer vacancy delays, and a better-looking unit at a lower cost than full replacement.
We partner with apartment communities and multi-family properties throughout Portland including the Pearl District, Lloyd District, Southeast Portland, Northeast Portland, and the Johns Landing area. Our commercial crews understand the pace of property management and work to keep your units rent-ready.
