A dull or chipped tub in Manhattan 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.
Maybe you are staring at that ugly, outdated bathroom fixture right now and wondering how things got so bad.
Fortunately, you can completely transform your stained or chipped tub surface without spending thousands of dollars on a messy demolition.
Our local crew brings those worn-out surfaces back to life quickly and leaves them looking brand new.
Instead of ripping out your walls, our specialized process coats your existing fixture with a ultra-durable high-gloss finish.
This means you save a mountain of cash while still getting that shiny, clean look you deserve.
We love helping local homeowners fall in love with their bathrooms all over again.
Actually, we hear from people every day who are tired of scrubbing stubborn rust stains and deep scratches.
By choosing this smart surface restoration route, you bypass the dusty nightmare of hiring plumbers and tile setters.
It is the ultimate shortcut to a gorgeous bathroom upgrade that fits your budget.
So, what does this process actually involve when we show up at your house?
First, we thoroughly clean the old surface using specialized industrial prep agents to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits.
This step is absolutely critical because the new coating needs a perfectly clean slate to bond with the old porcelain or fiberglass.
Next, we repair any deep dings, chips, or rust spots using high-performance polyester fillers that dry incredibly tough.
Once everything is completely smooth, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like chemical Velcro for the topcoat.
After that, we spray multiple layers of an advanced acrylic urethane finish using specialized high-volume, low-pressure equipment.
Which means your old, faded basin gets a factory-like gloss that looks identical to a brand new fixture.
On top of that, the entire process takes only a few hours from start to finish.
You can typically start using your freshly coated basin again within twenty-four hours.

Because we serve everyone throughout the 60442 ZIP code, we understand the local home styles and plumbing setups.

| Project Aspect | Full Replacement | Our Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very high (often $3,000 to $8,000) | Very affordable (a fraction of replacement) |
| Time to Complete | Several days or weeks of construction | Usually finished in just one day |
| Mess & Dust | Extreme drywall dust and broken tile debris | Virtually none, we mask off the entire room |
| Plumbing Hassle | Requires moving old pipes and drains | No plumbing alterations needed at all |
Naturally, you might wonder if this process holds up over time compared to buying a new unit.
Yes, it absolutely does, provided you care for it using non-abrasive cleaners as we recommend.
This durable topcoat seals up those porous areas where mold and mildew love to hide and multiply.
Consequently, keeping your bathroom clean becomes ten times easier than it ever was before.
You will spend far less time scrubbing on your knees with harsh chemicals that burn your eyes.
Instead, a quick wipe down with a mild soap and a soft sponge keeps it gleaming.
This lets you enjoy a bright, inviting bathing space without the constant embarrassment of guest bathrooms.
Imagine finally feeling proud when visitors ask to use your washroom during family gatherings...
It is amazing how a simple cosmetic upgrade can boost your overall peace of mind.
Now, you have probably seen those cheap DIY brush-on kits at the local home improvement store.
While they look tempting, those store-bought paints lack the chemical bonding agents that professionals use.
They almost always start peeling, bubbling, and yellowing within a few short months of application.
Which means you end up paying more money later to have us strip off that failed DIY paint.
Our commercial-grade materials require specialized respirators, ventilation setups, and spray guns to apply safely and evenly.
We get the job done right the very first time so you do not have to deal with a messy redo.
When our friendly technician arrives at your doorstep, we start by masking off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic.
We set up an exhaust fan system to pull any fumes out through the window and keep your indoor air clean.
This careful preparation ensures that overspray never lands on your floors, vanities, or walls.
After we complete the multi-step application process, we carefully remove all our masking materials and clean the area.
We leave your bathroom looking spotless, except for that gorgeous, sparkling fixture in the center of the room.
Our team always takes the time to explain the simple curing process so you get the best results.
Perhaps the best part of our service is how easy it is to get started without any pressure.
We believe in honest, transparent pricing, which is why we offer completely free, no-obligation quotes to our neighbors.
You can show us your current setup, and we will explain your options and give you an exact price.
This lets you make an informed decision for your home without any hidden fees or surprise upcharges later.
We take pride in our workmanship and love helping people upgrade their spaces on a realistic budget.
Whether your basin is outdated pink, dull beige, or just heavily stained, we have the perfect solution for you.
So, do not spend another day staring at a dingy, embarrassing washroom that makes you shudder.
Take action today by reaching out to our friendly team to schedule your free estimate.
Let us bring back that sparkling finish and make your bathroom your favorite room in the house once again!
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 Manhattan, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
