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.
You probably stare at that stained, peeling porcelain every single morning while you brush your teeth. Making your space look fresh again is much cheaper than tearing everything out and starting from scratch.
Getting a pristine finish on your old tub requires someone who really knows their way around a spray gun and chemical bonding agents. You deserve a bathroom that feels like a slice of heaven without paying for a full renovation.
Replacing a heavy cast iron or steel vessel involves knocking down walls and dealing with messy plumbing issues. Skipping the demolition phase keeps your house clean and saves you a massive pile of cash.
Opting for this renewal process gives you a smooth, glossy surface that mimics brand new materials. You get that sense of ease and visual satisfaction without the headache of a week-long construction project.
Think about the savings you accumulate when you avoid buying expensive tile and new fixtures. Putting that money toward a nice vacation or a new hobby makes much more sense than ripping out perfectly functional pipes.
Applying a fresh polymer coating involves stripping away the old grime and filling in those nasty chips or cracks. Following this deep clean, a specialized bonding agent creates a permanent grip between the old surface and the new enamel.
After the bonding occurs, the technician sprays multiple layers of high-durability acrylic resin to build up the thickness. Drying this down creates a rock-hard layer that resists stains and holds up against daily water exposure.
You see, the secret lies in the adhesion strength that prevents peeling or flaking down the road. This method keeps your bathroom looking sharp for many years if you take decent care of the finish.
Living in this vibrant city, you occupy a space where many homes were built several decades ago. Keeping the original charm of your property while upgrading the utility of your washroom is a smart financial move.

| Feature | Surface Renewal | Total Replacement | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project Time | One Day | One Week Plus | |
| Cost | Low | Very High | |
| Mess | Minimal | Massive | |
| Eco-Friendly | Yes | No |
Choosing the route of renewal keeps bulky debris out of local landfills and saves precious resources. Plus, you get to keep your original layout which is often built to last longer than modern plastic alternatives.
Clearing out your shampoos, soaps, and loofahs allows the pro to move freely around the work area. Removing these items protects your personal belongings from any stray mist or cleaning fumes during the application process.
Opening a window or running a ventilation fan helps circulate the air while the coatings are applied. This little bit of prep ensures the job goes smoothly and finishes faster so you can enjoy your bathroom again.
Keeping your tub clean after the work is simple if you avoid harsh abrasive powders. Using mild soaps and a soft sponge keeps the new finish shiny and prevents scratches from dulling the surface.
Avoiding heavy bleach or industrial chemicals keeps the acrylic resin intact for the long haul. Treating your bathroom with a little bit of care ensures it stays in great shape for years.
Walking into your bathroom after the project finishes feels like stepping into a fancy hotel suite. Seeing the high-gloss shine reflecting the lights makes you realize that your old tub was just waiting for a little bit of help.
Changing the color from a dated almond or pink to a bright, crisp white transforms the whole room. You will notice how much bigger and cleaner everything looks just by updating that one central fixture.
Dealing with the slight chemical odor during the process is a reality, but it fades very quickly. We use high-quality exhaust fans to vent out the air and keep your living environment safe.
Planning to stay out of the bathroom for a short period is the best way to avoid the fumes. Once the curing process finishes, the smell dissipates and you are left with nothing but a beautiful, functional basin.
Safety comes first whenever we handle these specialized resins and bonding agents in your home. We always wear proper protective gear to ensure the work happens without any accidents or environmental hazards.
Your happiness remains the ultimate goal throughout the entire project from start to finish. Checking the final work with you ensures that every corner looks perfect before we pack up our tools.
Buying a cheap kit from the big box store seems like a good way to save money initially. However, these kits lack the professional-grade resins and the industrial spray equipment required for a smooth finish.
Trying to do this yourself often results in brush marks, uneven layers, and a surface that starts peeling within months. Trusting a professional ensures the work is done right the first time without the frustration of redo attempts.
Requesting a free estimate is the most direct way to understand the costs and benefits for your specific bathroom. Simply reach out to discuss the current state of your basin and the goals you have for your home.
Getting an accurate price means looking at the size, the current damage, and the specific color you want. Providing a few photos of the space helps in building a plan that fits your exact situation.

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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
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.
