From one end of New York to the other, we bring tubs back to a bright finish without pulling a single one 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.
Do you stare at your worn-out, stained tub and wish it looked brand new again? Getting a fresh, glossy finish on your bathing vessel is way easier than ripping everything out.
You really do not need to spend a fortune on a full renovation to change the vibe of your washroom. Most people in the Big Apple assume they must demolish their tiling to get a clean look. That is just not true when you have the right solution for your worn fixtures.
Choosing to restore your existing unit saves you from weeks of noise and dust in your house. You keep your original structure while gaining a smooth, shiny, and beautiful layer that repels dirt. This creates a high level of ease because you avoid the nightmare of plumbing work.
Furthermore, you keep the historical charm of your home intact while upgrading the material quality. Think about the pride you feel when guests visit and see a sparkling clean area instead of a chipped, yellowing mess. You get a result that feels just as good as a high-end luxury upgrade.
First, the technician arrives to clean your old porcelain or fiberglass surface with heavy-duty chemical agents. This step is critical because it removes years of soap scum, hard water buildup, and hidden layers of grime. You get a perfectly prepped surface that acts like a blank canvas for the new coating.
Next, the crew applies a specialized bonding agent that sticks to the old material like glue. This ensures that the new finish stays on for years without peeling or bubbling up. You benefit from a durable shield that handles daily use while keeping your floor and walls protected from sprays.
Finally, the team sprays a high-grade polymer coating that cures into a hard, glossy shell. This layer creates a level of satisfaction that is hard to beat for such a reasonable price point. You can choose from various bright white shades that make your space look bigger and much cleaner.

Replacing the entire unit is a massive headache that involves removing tiles and disrupting your pipes. Often, this requires permits and multiple tradespeople walking through your home for days on end. You surely want to avoid that kind of stress when you can get the same visual impact for a fraction of the cost.
On the other hand, opting for a professional renewal service lets you stay in your home. You save thousands of dollars that you can spend on other projects like painting or new fixtures. This is a smart way to invest in your property value without breaking your budget.
Living in the dense urban landscape of Manhattan, you know that space is a premium asset. Many homes here carry a rich history, and the fixtures inside often show signs of that age. You might reside in areas with diverse ZIP codes, where maintaining the integrity of an old building is quite common.
With a median household income that varies across the districts, finding cost-effective ways to improve your home is vital. This service is perfect for those who want to avoid the high costs of construction in this expensive region. You get to enjoy a fresh, bright bathroom while keeping your cash in your wallet.
Have you noticed cracks forming along the bottom of your tub? Those tiny fissures can hide mold and mildew that you just cannot scrub away. You deserve a surface that is non-porous and easy to wipe down every single week.
Perhaps the color has faded from bright white to a sad, dingy gray or yellow. This happens naturally as the original finish wears thin over decades of hot water exposure. You can instantly boost the light in your bathroom by choosing a crisp, clean finish that reflects the sun.
Perhaps you are worried about the fumes or the smell during the application process. Real professionals use ventilation fans and high-tech equipment to keep the air clear. You can feel safe knowing that the job is being handled with care for your household.
Moreover, the curing time is remarkably fast, usually allowing you to use your tub again within a day or two. You do not have to wait around for weeks to take a long, relaxing soak. This gives you back the convenience of your home almost immediately after the work finishes.
Now is the perfect time to stop looking at those ugly chips and start dreaming about a crisp, white finish. You can easily reach out to a local pro who knows the ins and outs of your neighborhood. They will come to your location and look at the state of your equipment to provide a free estimate.

Some people think they can buy a kit from the store and do this themselves. However, those kits rarely last more than a few months because they lack the industrial strength of professional supplies. You end up with a peeling, uneven mess that is even harder to fix the second time.
A professional uses specialized tools and training to ensure the surface is smooth and uniform. You benefit from their years of practice because they know exactly how the material reacts to different conditions. This guarantees a level of refinement that a weekend warrior simply cannot achieve on their own.
After the work is done, you should use mild, non-abrasive cleaners to keep the finish shiny. Avoid harsh chemicals that might scratch the new surface over many years of scrubbing. You will find that keeping it clean is a breeze because the new layer is smooth and resistant to stains.
This simple habit ensures that you get the most longevity out of your investment. You will enjoy a beautiful, functional space that makes your morning routine much more pleasant. When you treat your home with care, it continues to provide you with a sense of joy and utility.
Investing in your living space is always a good idea, whether you plan to stay for years or look to sell soon. A clean, updated bathroom is one of the top things people notice when they enter a home. You increase the desirability of your property by simply fixing the surface that you use every single day.

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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
