A dull or chipped tub in Old Westbury 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 your morning starts with a sigh when you look at that stained basin. It happens to all of us because those heavy cast iron and steel fixtures do not stay shiny forever. Fortunately you can completely bypass the massive mess of a full demolition by opting for a smart surface restoration instead.
This clever process saves you thousands of dollars while delivering a glossy finish that looks brand new. Our local team visits your home to apply high-tech coatings right over your existing setup. You get a pristine, durable surface without the headache of tearing out walls or dealing with dusty drywall debris.
Naturally you want to know how this magic trick actually works for your home. By choosing a professional spray-applied liquid acrylic finish, you instantly upgrade your space. Let us explore how we can refresh your washroom without breaking your bank account.
Demolishing a bathroom feels like a nightmare because plumbers often charge a fortune just to disconnect your old pipes. On top of that, carrying a heavy cast-iron tub down the stairs can easily damage your doorframes and floors. This means a simple replacement quickly turns into a massive construction project.
Opting for a professional face-lift avoids all these stressful complications. Our technicians carefully prep your existing fixture, repair any deep chips, and spray a durable, high-gloss topcoat. Consequently you get a sparkling clean look in just a single day.
Consider the actual savings you enjoy with this smart home improvement method.
| Project Phase | Full Replacement Method | Our Protective Coating Process |
|---|---|---|
| Total Demolition | High cost, loud noise, and tons of dusty trash | Zero demolition needed |
| Project Duration | Usually takes one to two weeks of waiting | Completed in just a few hours |
| Average Expenses | Very expensive due to plumbing and tile repairs | Highly affordable and fits most budgets |
This table clearly shows why smart homeowners choose to restore rather than replace. You save your hard-earned money and avoid weeks of construction dust in your living space. Which means you can spend those savings on other fun home projects instead.
First we start by thoroughly cleaning the entire area with specialized industrial cleaners to remove stubborn soap scum and body oils. After that, we apply a strong acid etch that creates microscopic pores on the old porcelain or fiberglass. This crucial step ensures the new materials bond permanently to the old structure.
Next we meticulously repair any rust spots, scratches, or deep dings with a waterproof polyester filler. Once the surface is perfectly flat, we spray several coats of a high-performance primer. This specialized base coat acts like glue for the final layers of shiny acrylic polyurethane.
Finally we apply the beautiful topcoat using professional HVLP spray equipment to guarantee a super smooth finish. Then we let it cure completely so it hardens into a resilient, glass-like shield. As a result, your fixture gains a beautiful luster that resists staining for many years to come.
You might wonder how a sprayed-on liquid can actually stick to slippery porcelain. Well, our advanced silane coupling agents create a chemical bridge right at the molecular level. This advanced technology prevents the new finish from peeling or bubbling when exposed to hot bath water.
Using cheap DIY kits from the local hardware store usually leads to peeling within a few months because they lack these professional-grade chemicals. Our commercial-grade materials are specifically designed to expand and contract with temperature changes. Therefore you get a long-lasting result that looks like it came straight from the factory showroom.
Caring for your restored fixture is incredibly easy if you follow a few simple rules. You must avoid abrasive scouring powders and harsh bleach because they can dull the shiny finish over time. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners.
Using a soft sponge or a microfiber cloth keeps the surface looking incredibly bright and smooth. This simple maintenance routine prevents dirt from embedding itself into the non-porous outer layer. Which means your cleaning chores become much faster and far less tiring.
Many gorgeous properties in Nassau County feature beautiful, antique clawfoot tubs that possess incredible character. Sadly, finding a modern replacement with that same level of craftsmanship is almost impossible today. Our specialized restoration process preserves that vintage charm while erasing decades of ugly stains and mineral deposits.

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 Old Westbury, 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.
