Refinishing Has Been Our Focus for More Than 25 Years
NU-COAT has served Connecticut since 1997.
Over that time, we have helped homeowners and property owners restore thousands of bathroom surfaces, including:
- Bathtubs
- Bathroom tile
- Fiberglass showers
- One-piece tub/shower units
- Chipped and damaged tub surfaces
- Cracked fiberglass
- Weak shower floors
- Previously refinished fixtures
Our focus is not broad remodeling. It is professional surface restoration.
That specialization allows us to concentrate on the details that matter in refinishing, including preparation, repair, adhesion, coating application, curing, and long-term care.

Our Approach: Restore Before You Replace
Many bathrooms need an update. That does not always mean they need demolition.
A bathtub may still be structurally sound but look stained or worn. Tile may still be firmly attached but feel dated. A fiberglass shower may still function properly but have lost its original appearance.
In these situations, refinishing can provide a practical alternative.
Our goal is simple:
Why Homeowners Choose Refinishing
Professional refinishing can provide several advantages over full replacement.
Lower Cost
Refinishing can save up to 75% compared with the total cost of replacing a bathtub or other bathroom fixture.
Less Disruption
Most projects do not require major demolition, extensive plumbing work, or tearing apart surrounding walls.
Faster Results
Many refinishing projects can be completed in one day.
Less Waste
Keeping structurally suitable fixtures in place avoids sending usable tubs, showers, and other materials to a landfill unnecessarily.
A Dramatic Visual Update
Worn, stained, dull, or outdated surfaces can often be restored without changing the entire bathroom layout.

We Specialize in Bathroom Surface Refinishing
NU-COAT's core services include:
Bathtub Refinishing
Restoring worn, stained, chipped, scratched, or outdated tubs without removing the fixture.
Tile Refinishing
Updating older bathroom tile when the underlying surface remains suitable for restoration.
Fiberglass Shower Refinishing
Restoring dull, stained, yellowed, scratched, or damaged fiberglass shower units.
Bathtub Chip & Crack Repair
Evaluating and repairing appropriate surface damage before refinishing.
Shower Pan & Fiberglass Floor Repair
Addressing weak, cracked, or flexing fiberglass floors when repair and reinforcement are appropriate.

Proper Preparation Comes First
The appearance of the final finish depends heavily on the work completed before it is applied.
That is why NU-COAT places strong emphasis on surface preparation.
Depending on the project, the process may include:
- Surface inspection
- Deep cleaning
- Removal of soap and mineral buildup
- Surface preparation
- Repairing chips and scratches
- Treating appropriate cracks
- Evaluating previous coatings
- Fiberglass repair
- Reinforcing weak shower floors when appropriate
- Professional coating application
- Curing instructions
We do not treat refinishing as simply applying paint over an old surface.
Experience With Multiple Bathtub & Shower Materials
Over the years, NU-COAT has worked with many common bathroom surface materials.
Depending on condition, we may be able to refinish:
- Porcelain
- Cast iron
- Fiberglass
- Acrylic
- Steel
- Cultured marble
- Bathroom tile
- One-piece fiberglass units
Professional Results Without a Full Bathroom Remodel
NU-COAT is a strong fit for homeowners who like the layout of their bathroom but no longer like the condition or appearance of the surfaces.
If the fixture itself still works, refinishing may provide the visual improvement you want without rebuilding the entire room.
Typical projects include:
- Updating an old colored bathtub
- Refinishing a stained tub
- Restoring faded tile
- Repairing a chipped fixture
- Refreshing a yellowed fiberglass shower
- Recoating a previously refinished bathtub
- Restoring multiple bathroom surfaces together

For a useful initial review, include:
- A wide photo of the tub or shower
