In Brooklyn Navy Yard, the Brooklyn technician we send repairs, sprays and caulks your tub where it stands.
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 look at that worn out tub every single morning and feel a little bit of defeat. Those ugly stains and that outdated color from decades ago can really ruin your mood before you even brush your teeth. Fortunately, you can actually transform that entire fixture into a shiny masterpiece in just a few hours without ripping out your walls.
Our skilled local team specializes in giving old cast iron and steel basins a gorgeous new lease on life right in your home. By choosing this smart updating method, you avoid the dusty nightmare of a traditional remodel while saving thousands of dollars in the process. We are proud to serve this historic waterfront area of Kings County, offering a free estimate to help you plan your project with total confidence.
This budget-friendly cosmetic restoration process works wonders on damaged porcelain surfaces that have seen better days. When you contact us, we come straight to your property to assess the situation and explain how we can make that old surface look brand new. You get to enjoy a sparkling clean space without the massive headache of hiring plumbers and carting away heavy debris.
Many homeowners think their only option for a dingy bathroom is a costly replacement. However, our specialized process involves applying advanced coating materials that fuse directly with your existing fixture to create a durable, glossy barrier. This means you get a fresh, clean look that feels incredibly smooth to the touch and resists future staining.
To give you a clearer picture of how this compares to a full replacement, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Feature | Our Refinishing Service | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely high with plumbing fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in a single afternoon | Can take several days or weeks |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal with protective masking used | Heavy drywall and tile destruction |
| Lifespan | Lasts for many years with proper care | Long-term but high initial investment |
Which means you keep more money in your pocket while still getting that luxurious feeling of a clean, modern bathroom. On top of that, our proven method works on a variety of materials including fiberglass, acrylic, and heavy antique clawfoot models. We take immense pride in our meticulous prep work because we know a great finish relies entirely on a perfectly prepared base.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom using heavy-duty plastic sheeting and professional painter's tape to protect your floors and walls. This ensures that no overspray or dust lands on your vanity, toilet, or pristine tilework during the application process. After that, we set up a high-powered exhaust system to safely vent any fumes directly outside your home.
Next, we use specialized cleaning agents to strip away years of soap scum, body oils, and stubborn mineral deposits. This step is absolutely crucial because even the tiniest speck of grease can prevent the new coating from bonding correctly. If we find any deep chips or rust spots, we fill them with durable waterproof compounds and sand them perfectly flat.
Finally, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent followed by multiple coats of high-grade acrylic polymer. This creates a deep, rich gloss that looks identical to brand new factory porcelain. Once the material cures, your fixture is ready for daily use, giving you a beautiful space to unwind after a long day.
Living in a bustling urban hub means you value your time and expect reliable, honest service from local contractors. We understand the unique challenges of working in historic buildings, lofts, and residential spaces near the vibrant industrial park along the East River. Our technicians arrive on time, respect your property, and clean up every single piece of debris before they leave.
Because this specific neighborhood has a rich maritime and industrial heritage, many local homes feature gorgeous vintage fixtures that are worth saving. Preserving these heavy, high-quality cast iron tubs is highly desirable because they retain heat much better than modern plastic replacements. By choosing our restoration service, you keep these historic gems out of local landfills while upgrading your home's appeal.
On top of that, we always tailor our approach to fit your specific design goals and color preferences. Whether you want a classic bright white finish or a soft biscuit tone, we can customize the look to match your decor. You get a customized solution that elevates the entire aesthetic of your washroom without breaking the bank.
Once we complete the job, caring for your shiny new surface is incredibly easy and straightforward. You simply need to avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like steel wool or gritty scrubbing powders that can dull the gloss over time. Instead, we recommend using mild liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners to keep it sparkling.
Another great tip is to fix leaky faucets promptly to prevent standing water from slowly wearing down the finish. Taking these simple steps ensures that your beautiful wash basin remains bright and smooth for up to a decade or more. We gladly provide detailed care instructions to every customer so you know exactly how to protect your investment.
Perhaps you are planning to sell your property soon and want to boost its value quickly. Or maybe you just bought a fixer-upper and want to make the bathroom clean and sanitary for your family. Whatever your motivation, our team is ready to deliver outstanding results with our premium resurfacing solutions.
This is where our convenient on-site consultation comes in to take all the guesswork out of your home improvement project. We visit your home, inspect the condition of your fixture, and provide a detailed, written price quote on the spot. You never have to worry about hidden fees or surprise upcharges when you work with our reputable local business.
So why spend another day looking at a stained, chipped, or outdated bathroom? Contact us right now to request your complimentary quote and take the first step toward a gorgeous, stress-free home upgrade.
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 Brooklyn Navy Yard, 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.
