All over Nassau County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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.
That ugly, chipped basin in your family washroom probably makes you cringe every single morning. Fortunately, you can bypass the dusty mess of a full remodel by choosing a smart, modern resurfacing alternative instead. Our local crew travels right to your home to restore that glossy shine on your existing fixtures while keeping your hard-earned money in your wallet.
By opting for this specialized spray-on restoration, you save thousands of dollars compared to buying a brand-new tub. This budget-friendly option actually gives you the exact same sparkling results without the headache of hiring plumbers. You get to enjoy a fresh, clean surface that looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor.
To make things even better, our team offers a completely free on-site consultation to evaluate your bathroom layout. We walk you through the entire process and hand you an honest estimate without any hidden fees. This pressure-free approach ensures you know exactly what to expect before we even touch your fixtures.
Many homeowners assume that a dull, stained tub must go straight to the landfill. However, our advanced chemical bonding process completely transforms worn-out porcelain, cast iron, and fiberglass. We meticulously prep the old surface to ensure the new coating sticks like glue for years to come.
First, we apply a specialized etching agent to strip away years of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This crucial step creates a microscopic texture that allows our high-tech primers to fuse permanently with the original material. Without this deep cleaning, any new finish would simply peel off within a few short months.
After that, we spray multiple layers of a top-tier acrylic urethane coating using professional-grade ventilation equipment. This premium material cures into a rock-hard shield that resists scratches and retains its beautiful luster. You end up with a gorgeous, smooth basin that feels incredibly luxurious during your evening soak.
If you choose to tear out your old tub, you will quickly face a mountain of unexpected expenses. For instance, removing a heavy cast iron fixture often requires cutting it into pieces and destroying your surrounding wall tiles. Our quick, non-invasive method completely bypasses that chaotic destruction.
| Project Factor | Complete Replacement | Our Restoration Method |
|---|---|---|

| Project Duration | One to two weeks of mess | Finished in just a few hours |
| Demolition Needed | Heavy drywall and tile damage | Absolutely zero demolition |

Now, let us talk about the actual time you save with this smart home improvement trick. A standard contractor crew might take a full week to replumb and retile your bath area.

We cover a massive range of local neighborhoods, servicing various ZIP codes like 11501, 11756, 11801, and many surrounding areas.
To get the job done right, we never cut corners during the highly detailed preparation phase. We carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to shield your vanity, floors, and walls. This meticulous setup ensures that absolutely no overspray lands on your precious belongings.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks using a specialized waterproof filler. We sand these spots completely flat so the final surface looks perfectly uniform and seamless. This attention to detail is what separates a amateur DIY kit from a truly professional finish.
Finally, we use a high-volume, low-pressure spray system to apply our signature topcoat evenly across the entire fixture. This advanced tool allows us to control the thickness of the coating with extreme precision. The result is a glossy, porcelain-like appearance that will fool your guests into thinking you bought a brand-new tub.
Once our crew packs up and leaves, maintaining your sparkling white basin is actually incredibly simple. You must avoid abrasive bleach powders or harsh scrub brushes that can dull the shiny finish over time. Instead, we recommend gentle, non-abrasive liquid cleaners applied with a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple cleaning routine keeps your restored fixture looking brand new for up to a decade or even longer. On top of that, we suggest keeping dripping faucets repaired quickly to prevent mineral stains from forming on the new surface. Taking care of these small details ensures your bathroom stays beautiful for years to come.

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, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
