A dull or chipped tub in Kensington 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.
Sometimes you look at your bathroom and just sigh because the tub looks ancient and stained. You might think the only way to get that fresh look is by ripping everything out and spending a small fortune on a full renovation.
Luckily for you, there is a much smarter way to handle those dated fixtures that keeps your bank account happy. By choosing to resurface your existing basin, you avoid the nightmare of plumbing changes and weeks of construction dust in your home.
When you decide to go with a professional finish upgrade, you are essentially applying a high-tech polymer coating over your old tub. This creates a brand new, glossy layer that hides all the scratches and stubborn stains you have been scrubbing for years.
Because this method is so efficient, it saves you from the massive headache of replacing the cast iron or steel underneath. You get a result that feels brand new and looks fantastic without the heavy price tag of a full bathroom redo.
Replacing a tub usually means you have to tear up your walls and disrupt your tile work. That often leads to hidden water damage repairs or even expensive plumbing reroutes that you did not plan for at all.
Instead, a specialized restoration allows you to keep the structural integrity of your current setup while achieving a modern, sleek appearance. This approach gives you total satisfaction because it is fast, affordable, and honestly quite impressive when you see the final shine.
Living in a beautiful area like Kensington, New York, means you probably appreciate quality craftsmanship and lasting results for your property. With a median household income of $171,250, you likely value investments that actually improve the value of your dwelling.
Serving the residents of this charming part of Nassau County requires a commitment to excellence and high standards. You deserve a technician who respects your time and treats your home with the care it truly requires during the entire application process.
The secret to a great result is all in the preparation work we do before applying any coating. We spend time cleaning, etching, and repairing any chips so the new material bonds perfectly to the surface.
This meticulous attention to detail ensures your new finish stays firm and glossy for many years to come. You will love how easy it is to keep clean when the surface is no longer porous or chipped.
Think about how much more appealing your bathroom will be to guests or potential buyers with a sparkling white basin. Small improvements like this make a massive difference in how you perceive your own living space every morning.
Since you are in a neighborhood where style and upkeep matter, this service acts as a simple way to maintain high standards. It is a win for your wallet and a win for the aesthetic vibe of your house.
You might be wondering if the smell of the chemicals will bother you during the application process. We use ventilation tools to move air around and keep things safe, so you do not have to worry about harsh fumes.
Plus, the materials we use are designed to cure quickly, which means you can usually get back to using your bathroom within a day or two. This speed lets you enjoy your newly refreshed space almost immediately without waiting around for contractors for weeks.
Many people worry that a new layer will peel off after a few months of regular showers. However, when a professional handles the adhesion process correctly, that coating becomes a solid part of your fixture.
It is tough, resistant to water, and built to handle the heat of your daily routine. You can treat it just like you would a factory-new tub, though we do suggest avoiding abrasive cleaners that might dull that beautiful shine.
If you look at the math, buying a new tub, paying for demolition, and installing new tile will cost you thousands. Compare that to the fractional cost of a professional resurfacing job that looks identical to a brand new installation.
This allows you to take those extra savings and put them toward other home improvement goals or a nice vacation. It is a clever financial move that makes your home feel updated without the stress of a massive construction project.

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 Kensington, 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.

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.
