A dull or chipped tub in East Garden City 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.
You wake up every single morning and stare at that ugly, stained basin in your bathroom. Honestly, those yellowed surfaces and tiny chips make the whole room feel like a total drag. Fortunately, you can actually transform that worn-out fixture without spending thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project.
This is where our specialized local team comes in to save your sanity. We can literally spray a gorgeous, super-shiny new finish right over your existing setup in just a few hours. By choosing this smart route, you skip the endless headache of major plumbing renovations while getting a surface that looks absolutely pristine.
Now, you might be wondering how this wizardry actually works for your home. Our process involves deep cleaning the old material, applying a strong bonding agent, and spraying a durable topcoat. This means you get a sparkling, fresh wash space that looks like it just came straight from the factory showroom.
Let us be real about the alternative options for a second. Ripping out a cast iron or steel tub usually requires breaking tiles, hiring expensive plumbers, and dealing with weeks of dust. On top of that, those old-school fixtures are often made of much better quality than the cheap plastic replacements you find today.
Our fast restoration service preserves that heavy duty character while completely erasing decades of tough stains. To help you compare your choices, we put together a simple breakdown of how this smart update matches up against a full replacement project.
| Project Factor | Our Spray Restoration Method | Full Demolition and Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable for any budget | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Done in a single day | Usually takes a week or more |
| Mess and Dust | Very minimal and easily contained | Plaster dust everywhere in your house |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with basic care | Depends entirely on the new unit quality |

We proudly serve the entire community of East Garden City, New York, bringing our specialized equipment right to your doorstep. Whether you reside near the bustling shopping hubs or closer to the quiet residential streets, we are your local experts. Our team understands the unique plumbing setups found in these local homes, ensuring a flawless application every time.
To get a finish that truly stands the test of time, proper preparation is absolutely everything. We do not just slap some paint on your fixture and call it a day. Instead, our crew meticulously strips away old oils, soap scum, and sketchy previous DIY coatings first.
After that, we repair any deep rust spots, chips, or cracks with specialized structural fillers. This attention to detail guarantees the new glossy layer has a perfectly smooth, solid foundation to stick to. Consequently, your renewed surface will resist peeling and bubbling even under hot, steamy daily use.
Perhaps you are tired of that outdated 1970s pink or avocado green staring back at you. We offer a variety of modern shades, from bright classic white to soft almond tones, to match your style. This simple change instantly brightens up the entire room, making it feel much larger and more inviting.
On top of that, we can apply a slip-resistant texture to the bottom of the basin for added safety. This is a fantastic feature if you have young kids or elderly family members using the shower. You get peace of mind along with a stunning, high-gloss look that resembles expensive porcelain.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to shield your walls. This step ensures that no overspray or dust lands on your vanity, toilet, or nice floor tiles. We also install a powerful exhaust fan system to vent all chemical fumes directly outside through the nearest window.
Next, we apply our proprietary acid etching solution to roughen up the original slick porcelain surface. This microscopic roughness is crucial because it allows our specialized primer to grab hold with incredible strength. We then spray several thin, even coats of our premium high-tech resin using professional turbine sprayers.
Finally, we let the new coating cure into a glorious, seamless shield that feels amazing to the touch. Once we pull down the masking tape and clean up our workspace, your bathroom is ready for action. You will be amazed at how a process that takes under six hours can completely redefine your home.
To keep your newly coated basin looking spectacular, you must avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like bleach or scouring pads. These rough chemicals can dull the beautiful shine over time and create microscopic scratches that trap dirt. Instead, we highly recommend using mild dish soap or gentle, non-abrasive bathroom sprays.
Another smart tip is to never leave wet bottles of shampoo or dripping washcloths sitting on the ledge. Moisture trapped under these items can eventually weaken the bond of any protective coating. By spending just thirty seconds wiping the surface dry after use, you will extend its lifespan dramatically.
Actually, treating your renewed fixture with a little love ensures it stays bright and clean for a decade. Our customers are always shocked by how much easier it is to maintain compared to old, porous porcelain. You will save tons of time on weekly chores, leaving you more freedom to enjoy your weekends.
Are you ready to stop hiding your bathroom behind a closed door when guests come over? We make the entire process of getting a quote incredibly simple, relaxed, and completely free of any pressure.

Do not spend another day showering in a dingy, stained basin when an affordable solution is just a click away. Simply reach out to us today to request your free estimate and take the first step toward your dream bathroom. Let us bring that sparkling, factory-fresh beauty back to your home today!
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 East Garden City, 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.
