A dull or chipped tub in Dyker Heights does not need a demolition crew. It needs one technician, one day and a sprayed finish that shines.
One number reaches the technician who would hold the gun. The figure comes on the call, not after a visit.
(866) 951-0558The voice on the line belongs to the trade, not to a switchboard reading a script. Two minutes of plain description are enough to price a standard tub.
Do you look at your worn out tub and feel totally hopeless about fixing it? Well, replacing that heavy porcelain monster costs a fortune and tears up your entire home. Fortunately, our local team brings professional surface restoration right to your door in this bustling Kings County neighborhood.
Truth is, porcelain and fiberglass wear down over years of heavy scrubbing. Yet, tearing everything out makes a huge mess that takes weeks to finish. Therefore, choosing a chemical coating overhaul saves you massive amounts of cash while keeping your bathroom intact. Plus, you get a gorgeous glossy finish that looks brand new without the demolition nightmare.
Behind every scratched and stained basin lies solid structural strength waiting to shine again. Now, ignoring those deep pores lets nasty mold grow and causes permanent water damage. Thankfully, our specialized spraying process seals every single crack to protect your family. This brilliant technique lets you enjoy a fresh bathing space while avoiding expensive plumbing remodels.
Replacing a built in basin means destroying tiles and paying workers for days of hard labor. Meanwhile, our fast bonding technique takes only a few hours from start to finish. This smart approach keeps your daily routine running smoothly without any chaotic construction dust.
Cost remains a massive headache for most homeowners tackling home improvement projects around town. By contrast, spray resurfacing costs a tiny fraction of a brand new bathroom remodel. Consequently, you keep more money in your savings account while upgrading your home value instantly.
Old fixtures often feature thick cast iron that modern manufacturers simply do not make anymore. Thus, keeping your original basin preserves vintage quality while giving it a modern sheen. That means you get the best of both worlds without sacrificing durability or wasting materials.
Surface prep is the most crucial step when renewing worn out bathroom fixtures. Our crew starts by cleaning away decades of soap scum and hard water scale completely. Next, we etch the surface so the new liquid acrylic bonds permanently to the old material.
Special primers create a microscopic grip that prevents peeling or chipping down the road. Afterward, multiple layers of polyurethane coating go on using high pressure spray equipment. This creates a smooth finish that makes cleaning your daily shower completely effortless.
Remodeling a bathroom usually triggers endless hidden fees and unexpected contractor delays. Alternatively, surface restoration comes with fixed pricing and zero surprise expenses. You can review the average cost differences right here to see the obvious savings.
| Upgrade Method | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | High Dollars | Two Weeks |
| Surface Spraying | Low Dollars | One Day |
Clearly, keeping your existing tub structure avoids all the heavy lifting and expensive structural repairs. Eventually, you will appreciate how much time and stress you saved by avoiding a gut renovation.
Living in this vibrant New York corner means dealing with compact spaces and older architecture. Many local homes feature charming vintage bathrooms with heavy porcelain fixtures that deserve saving. However, decades of hard NYC water leave stubborn mineral stains that regular bleach cannot touch.
With roughly thirty four thousand people sharing this scenic Kings County pocket, property values matter deeply. Updating your worn fixtures makes your entire home far more attractive to potential buyers. Furthermore, you get to enjoy a gorgeous sparkling wash area every single morning.
Zip codes like eleven two two eight see plenty of historic housing updates every year. Instead of living with outdated pink or yellow tubs, you can modernize your space quickly. Our local crew knows these neighborhood homes well and treats your property with utmost respect.
Deep scratches trap dirt and bacteria that make your wash area look constantly dirty. Scrubbing harder only ruins the original factory shine and makes the problem much worse. Instead, professional resurfacing fills those rough patches with a tough non porous shield.
Rust rings around the drain are another common headache for local property owners. Our technicians neutralize those metal stains before applying any new bonding coats. This stops corrosion in its tracks and extends the lifespan of your basin for many years.
Harsh abrasive cleaners will ruin your fresh finish faster than anything else on the market. Therefore, switching to gentle liquid dish soap protects your investment for the long haul. You will find that smooth surfaces wipe clean with almost zero effort on your part.
Using soft microfiber cloths prevents tiny micro scratches from dulling that gorgeous glossy shine. Simple maintenance habits keep your upgraded bathroom looking freshly sprayed long after we leave. That means you get lasting beauty without spending your weekends scrubbing away grime.
Waiting around with a cracked and stained tub only brings more frustration to your daily life. Fortunately, getting professional help is easier than ever when you work with experienced local technicians. You can transform that ugly basin into a stunning centerpiece before the weekend arrives.

Three quiet stages carry the whole result. They are also the ones nobody sees in the after photo.
Stage 1 of 3
A reglaze fails or lasts on what happens before the gun comes out. The old surface gets scrubbed of soap film and silicone, etched or primed so the new material has something to grip, then wet sanded until it feels like fine paper. Skip any of that and the prettiest coat in the world lets go within a year, which is exactly the story most peeling tubs tell us.
Stage 2 of 3
Chips, rust blooms and worn drain rings are ground back to sound material and rebuilt with polyester filler, then sanded flush until a fingertip cannot find the spot. Coating over damage only photographs well on day one; a repair you cannot feel is what keeps the finish honest for years.
Stage 3 of 3
The topcoat goes on in fine sprayed passes with an extractor pulling air out the window the whole time. Sprayed layers flow together into one even skin, which is why the result reads as gloss rather than as paint. Brushes and rollers leave the texture that gives cheap refinishing its reputation.
Three real ways out of a worn tub. We only do the first one, so the other two columns are simply what we would tell a friend.
| The question | Reglazing in place | Acrylic liner | Full replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| What a standard tub costs | $350 to $800 | $1,600 to $4,000 | $3,000 to $10,000 once walls and plumbing join in |
| Bathroom out of action | One day, then the cure | Weeks of lead time, then a fitting day | One to two weeks of trades |
| Demolition involved | None at all | None, but the old tub is sealed inside | Walls opened, floor patched, debris hauled |
| Honest life expectancy | Five years and up when cared for | Long, unless water creeps between the shells | Decades |
| Watch out for | Prep shortcuts by cut-rate crews | A spongy feel and hidden moisture | The budget doubling mid-project |
If your tub is cracked through, actively leaking underneath, or you simply want a different fixture, reglazing is the wrong tool, a verdict you will hear on the very first call.
Pass 1
Soap scum, silicone and old wax stripped, then the surface etched or bonded so the coating can bite.
Pass 2
Every ding ground out, filled and sanded flush. The repairs disappear under the coating instead of through it.
Pass 3
Tile, faucet, floor and glass papered off. Overspray lands on masking paper, never on grout or chrome.
Pass 4
Primer, then gloss coats laid on in thin passes until the surface reads as one poured skin.
Pass 5
The finish hardens on its own clock, 24 to 48 hours. We tape the door and leave the tub in peace.
Pass 6
Old caulk goes out with the old finish. A new mildew-resistant bead seals tub to tile on the way out.
A reglazed tub is your old tub wearing a professional coating. That is a fine thing to be, as long as everyone knows it going in.
A sprayed acrylic urethane skin, bonded to prepared porcelain, steel or fiberglass. It is smooth, glossy, warm to the touch and fully waterproof. Done properly it gives five years and more of daily service, and plenty of our tubs sail well past that with nothing but gentle cleaning.
It is not factory enamel fired onto iron at kiln temperatures, and no honest refinisher will tell you otherwise. It can be scratched by grit, dulled by harsh powders and lifted by standing water in a spot where caulk has failed. It is a durable coating, not a new tub, and it is priced like one.
Two minutes
ZIP, what the tub is made of, what bothers you about it. Said out loud it goes faster than typing, and a photo can follow later if the case is odd.
The same call
The technician who would do the work asks his questions and names a firm figure for a standard job, then confirms it in writing before any van is booked.
You set the date
One van, one technician, drop cloths from the front door to the bathroom. Water off for nothing; only the tub is out of service.
Most of that day
Damage filled and sanded, the room masked, extractor running, then the primer and gloss coats go on in thin, even passes.
24 to 48 hours
The finish hardens untouched, the new caulk bead goes in, and you run the first bath knowing exactly what was done and what to expect of it.
| What we quote | Typical range | Reading the number |
|---|---|---|
| Standard bathtub, reglazed complete | $350 - $800 | Clean, etch, repairs, sprayed gloss and fresh caulk. |
| Chip or rust repair alone | $150 - $300 | When the finish is sound and only one wound needs closing. |
| Clawfoot tub, inside and out | $700 - $1,300 | Two surfaces, more masking, and paint-grade feet if you wish. |
| Shower pan or base | $300 - $550 | Same process on the floor you stand on every morning. |
| Caulk renewal with the job | $90 - $180 | Old bead cut out, mildew-resistant line laid in. |
| Small job minimum | around $250 | The van, the materials and the cure time exist even for tiny work. |
Heavy previous coatings that must be stripped, unusual colors and badly pitted iron push a job toward the top of its bracket. The written price reaches you before the van is even loaded, and it holds.
Ventilation is not a courtesy, it is part of the job. The extractor runs from the first solvent wipe to the last sprayed pass, pulling air out the window instead of through your hallway, and the technician wears supplied air even when the household has gone out for the day. By the evening the bathroom smells like a bathroom again.
The materials are the professional two-part systems made for this trade, mixed fresh on site, never the single-can kits sold next to the paint rollers. It is the difference between a finish that cures into a hard skin and one that stays soft enough to peel at the drain within a season, and it is most of the reason our work carries a written workmanship promise against peeling and loss of adhesion.
And the schedule respects the cure. We tell you in writing when the tub goes back into service, 24 hours for most jobs and 48 for the cautious ones, because handing a family a beautiful surface and letting them ruin it that same night helps nobody. If anything in our workmanship lets go early, the technician comes back and makes it right without a discussion about whose fault the water was.
Strong while spraying, gone surprisingly fast. The extractor vents the room to the outside for the whole job around Dyker Heights, so the rest of the home stays livable, and by the next morning the odor has left with the fumes. Pregnant households and bird owners get the frank version of this talk before booking.
Between 24 and 48 hours after the final coat, and the exact time is written on the paperwork you keep. The first bath is not a gamble; it is a date.
Any color. The most common request is retiring an avocado, pink or almond tub to white, and the coating is tinted before it is sprayed, so the new color is in the material rather than painted over it.
Yes. The prep changes, the primer changes, the result reads the same. Fiberglass with soft, flexing spots gets extra reinforcement talk first, because coating a moving floor is how warranties die.
Now the old coating comes fully off, which is honest work we price plainly, and then the job proceeds as if the tub had never been touched. Peeling almost always means the first crew skipped the etch or sprayed over silicone, not that your tub rejects coatings.
Five years is the floor we are comfortable promising out loud, not the ceiling. With soft cleaners, no standing mats and caulk kept sound, these finishes routinely serve a decade. What we refuse to do is whisper twenty and hope you lose our number.
