Encinitas ranges from older beach homes and cottages to newer developments inland, and a lot of those bathrooms have one-piece fiberglass tub and shower combinations. These units flex slightly underfoot by design, and over the years that flex is what opens up hairline cracks — usually long before anything else about the unit gives out. A crack doesn’t mean the combo is finished; it means the surface needs proper repair before it’s coated.
We handle:
Just finished reglazing a fiberglass tub and shower combination in Encinitas. The main issue was a set of cracks that had been touched up years earlier and had since become obvious again.
That’s a common pattern, and it’s worth understanding why it happens. A touch-up puts material over a crack, but it doesn’t address what’s underneath or around it. The filler used is often not waterproof, the edges are rarely feathered flat, and the color never quite matches the aging surface around it. Give it a few years of showers and the repair reads plainly — a different shade, a slightly raised line, sometimes the crack showing through again. The homeowner ends up looking at the patch instead of the crack, which isn’t much of an improvement.
So we started by sanding those old touch-ups down, taking the previous repair material off and opening the cracks back up to work with them properly.
Then came the part that decided the order of the whole job. Before exposing the cracks to any water, we filled them with Duraglass filler, which is water resistant. That sequencing is deliberate. A crack in a fiberglass unit is an open path — the material behind the surface will take on water if you let it, and a deep cleaning means putting water on the surface. Clean first and you’ve driven moisture into exactly the area you’re about to seal, and a repair built over damp material doesn’t hold. Seal first, clean second, and you’re working on a surface that’s actually dry underneath.
With the cracks sealed, we did the deep cleaning across the whole unit, stripping the soap film, body oils, and buildup that collect on fiberglass over the years. A coating bonds to the surface itself and not to anything sitting on it, so nothing goes down until the whole enclosure is genuinely clean.
Then we dried the repaired areas thoroughly and moved to the second stage of the repair: finishing putty over the Duraglass. The two materials do different jobs. The Duraglass is the structural, waterproof layer — it seals the crack and holds. The finishing putty on top is what gets sanded down flat and feathered into the surrounding surface so the repair disappears rather than sitting proud of it. Skip that second stage and you can have a perfectly sound repair that you can still see and feel, which is what the original touch-ups on this unit had been.
Once the repairs were level and smooth, we masked the room to contain the overspray and sprayed the bright white finish in even coats.
The unit came out smooth and uniform, with the cracks sealed properly underneath and no visible trace of them — or of the old touch-ups — in the finish.
Touch-ups aren’t wasted money exactly, but they’re a delay rather than a fix, and they make the eventual proper repair slightly more work because the old material has to come off first. If you have patched spots that have become visible again, that’s worth dealing with before the crack itself opens further. Caught while the unit is otherwise sound, it’s a straightforward repair-and-refinish. Left long enough for water to get behind the surface and soften what’s underneath, it becomes a much bigger job.
Every job finishes the same way: we hand over a post-care kit and our cleaning recommendations, so you know exactly how to keep the finish looking sharp.
This job was in Encinitas, and we cover the surrounding San Diego County cities just as easily — Carlsbad, Solana Beach, Del Mar, San Marcos, and Oceanside — along with all of Orange County.
