How much does it cost per unit?
Per-tub reglazing runs $715–$885, and multi-unit work is quoted below that on volume. Replacing a tub instead would cost $3,000–$7,000 per unit with demolition.
How fast can a unit turn over?
A turnover tub is reglazed in 3–5 hours and ready to use 24–48 hours later, so the unit can be listed the same week.

The Oakland rental math
Why reglazing beats replacement on turnover
Oakland's flats are dense with rentals, and the buildings around Adams Point, Grand Lake, Fruitvale and Lakeshore drive steady turnover. Between tenants, a tired tub is one of the few things a prospective renter notices the moment they walk into the bathroom. The question for an owner isn't whether to fix it — it's whether to reglaze or replace.
Replacement is the expensive answer. Pulling a tub in an occupied building means demolition, a new tub, a plumber, new tile and backer board, disposal of the old fixture, and days of a unit sitting torn apart. In Oakland that's $3,000–$7,000 a unit, and across a 20-unit property the numbers get ugly fast. It also takes the unit off the rent roll for the better part of a week.
Reglazing flips that. We restore the surface in place for $715–$885, the unit never gets torn apart, and the tub is back in service in 24–48 hours. Schedule it early in the make-ready alongside paint and cleaning, and the bathroom is photo-ready by listing day. Multiply the per-unit saving across a building and reglazing is the obvious line item.

Who we work with
Landlords, managers and commercial sites across Oakland
We handle single-owner duplexes in West Oakland, mid-size apartment portfolios around Adams Point and Grand Lake, and larger managed buildings in the Lakeshore and Fruitvale corridors. The work isn't limited to apartments — we also reglaze tubs and tile for small hotels and motels, student housing, senior-living units and office or commercial restrooms anywhere in Oakland. If it's a tub, shower, sink or tile surface that needs to look clean for a tenant, guest or buyer, we refinish it.
Most of these buildings share one trait: 1970s through 1990s fiberglass units. The gelcoat has crazed and yellowed, the almond and beige colors date the bathroom, and a one-piece surround can't simply be swapped without tearing into the wall. Scuff-sanding and refinishing brings them back to uniform white in a single visit — no demolition, no tenant displacement. For the older pre-1940 buildings in West Oakland and Temescal, we etch and respray the original cast-iron tubs the same way we do for homeowners.
How a building contract runs
- Send the unit list. Tell us how many units, the fixtures in each, and the rough condition. We give you a per-unit and total volume quote.
- Coordinate access. We work with your superintendent or leasing office to schedule units around tenant move-outs and make-ready timelines.
- Mask, prep and reglaze. Each unit gets the same seven-step treatment — containment, deep-clean, repair, etch or scuff-sand, prime, spray and re-caulk. See the full process.
- Run units in sequence. Setting up containment once and moving unit to unit is what makes the volume price work and keeps the schedule tight.
- Cure and hand off. Each surface is ready in 24–48 hours. We invoice per building or per turnover and back every unit with a 5-year written warranty.

Property manager reglazing FAQ
Do you offer bulk pricing for landlords in Oakland?
Yes. Multi-unit buildings and repeat turnover work get volume rates below our standard $715–$885 per tub because we set up once and run several units in sequence. Call (510) 746-8748 with your unit count for a quote.
How fast can you turn over a unit?
A standard turnover tub is reglazed in 3–5 hours and is ready to use 24–48 hours later. Schedule the reglaze early in the make-ready and the unit can be photographed and listed the same week.
Can you reglaze the fiberglass tubs and showers in older Oakland apartments?
Yes. The 1970s–1990s buildings around Adams Point, Fruitvale and Grand Lake are full of crazed, yellowed fiberglass units. We scuff-sand and refinish them to uniform white instead of replacing a one-piece surround, which would mean wall demolition.
Do you invoice and coordinate with on-site staff?
Yes. We work from a unit list, coordinate access with your superintendent or leasing office, and invoice per building or per turnover. Fully licensed and insured, with a 5-year written warranty on every unit.
Is reglazing cheaper than replacing tubs across a building?
Far cheaper. Replacing a tub in an occupied building runs $3,000–$7,000 with demolition and tile work; a reglaze is $715–$885 and keeps the unit rentable. Across a 20-unit property the savings are substantial.
