Fiberglass shower reglazing in Perris

Here’s a recent fiberglass shower stall reglazing project we completed in Perris, and it’s a good reminder that a shower doesn’t have to be wrecked to be worth refinishing. This one didn’t have any major issues — just a couple of chips on the side and two small nickel-sized holes. Nothing dramatic, but enough that the owner was weighing whether to repair it or tear the whole thing out and replace it. He made the right call going with reglazing, and I’ll get to why at the end.

We started with the deep cleaning. Even on a stall in good overall shape, you’ve got soap scum, hard water buildup, and body oils worked into the surface, and every bit of it has to come off before any product goes down. A coating bonds to the surface itself, not to whatever’s sitting on top of it, so this step is non-negotiable. We scrubbed the whole stall down until it was completely clean and ready.

Then we got into the damage. The chips and the two nickel-sized holes needed real repair, not just a quick dab of filler. So we filled them with fiberglass filler, which is the right material for durability — it cures hard and bonds into the fiberglass instead of just sitting on top. And we didn’t do it in one pass. We built the repairs back layer by layer, letting each layer set before adding the next, until the holes and chips were filled solid and brought back flush with the surrounding surface. Done this way, the repairs aren’t just hidden — they’re structurally sound, so they hold up to daily use instead of popping back out a few months later.

With the repairs solid, we ran caulking all the way around the shower to seal it from water. Every seam where the stall meets the walls and floor is a place water tries to get behind, and fresh caulk closes those off. A shower has one job above everything else — stay watertight — and sealing it properly before the coating goes on is part of getting that right.

Next we masked off the room. Ceiling, floor, and walls all got taped and covered to minimize any chance of overspray landing where it shouldn’t. On top of that, we installed our commercial exhaust blower to keep the fumes out of the house during the spraying process. That blower does real work — it pulls the fumes and overspray out of the space so they’re not drifting through the rest of the home while we spray.

Then came the coating, and we did it right. First we sprayed an adhesive primer over the whole surface. A lot of people don’t realize how important this layer is on fiberglass — the primer creates a chemical bond between the surface and the coating itself, so the finish is actually fused to the stall rather than just laid over it. That bond is what gives the job its longevity. Over the primer, we applied several coats of a bright white industrial grade finish. Multiple coats build a deeper, tougher, more even surface than a single pass ever could, and the industrial grade product is made to stand up to years of daily showers.

The stall came out smooth, glossy, and bright white, with the chips and holes gone like they were never there. The customer was happy with the results — and genuinely glad he’d chosen reglazing instead of replacement. That’s the part worth knowing: for a stall like his with only minor damage, replacement meant demolition, plumbing work, and a far bigger bill, while reglazing brought it back to brand-new for a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time.

This job was in Perris, but we handle shower stall refinishing and shower reglazing all over Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange County. Chips, holes, dull surfaces, dated colors — whatever shape your stall is in, we’ll tell you honestly whether a refinish makes more sense than a replacement. We give honest estimates and we stand behind the work.
