A dull or chipped tub in Oyster Bay 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.
That ugly, stained bathroom fixture is staring you down every single day.
You can actually get a sparkling, freshly surfaced basin without spending thousands on a massive renovation.
Our local team brings the shine back to your home quickly and affordably.
Maybe you recently looked at your old cast iron tub and felt a sudden wave of defeat.
Those stubborn rust stains around the drain just do not want to budge no matter how hard you scrub.
Fortunately, there is a smart way to restore that glossy finish without tearing down your walls.
Actually, replacing a built-in tub is a total nightmare because it usually involves destroying your tile surround.
This clever alternative process coats your existing fixture with a high-performance, durable acrylic polymer.
Which means you get to keep your sturdy old fixture while enjoying a brand-new look.
First, we meticulously clean the old porcelain to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits.
After that, we repair any deep chips or cracks with a specialized waterproof filler compound.
This preparation stage ensures the new coating bonds permanently to the old substrate.
Then, our technicians spray a premium bonding agent followed by several coats of a high-gloss topcoat.
You will notice the chemical smell during the process, though we use heavy-duty exhaust fans to clear the air.
Once it cures, the surface looks exactly like a brand-new fixture straight from the showroom floor.
Living in a beautiful community like Oyster Bay means appreciating classic home architecture and vintage charm.
Many houses in this part of Nassau County feature gorgeous, deep soaking tubs that are worth saving.
Preserving these historic features adds incredible character to your home while keeping your renovation budget intact.
According to local records, our lovely hamlet of 6,176 residents boasts many homes built during the mid-twentieth century.
With a comfortable median household income of $96,198, local families appreciate high-quality workmanship that lasts.
We proudly serve neighbors across the 11771 ZIP code, delivering beautiful results that stand the test of time.
Of course, a full bathroom remodel can easily spiral out of control and take weeks to finish.
Choosing to coat your existing basin instead takes just a single day of clean, quiet work.
This lets you avoid the dusty chaos of contractor crews walking through your hallway for weeks.
To help you decide, we put together a quick comparison of different ways to fix up your bathroom.
You can see how restoring the surface stacks up against liners and full replacements.
| Factor | Surface Restoration | Acrylic Liners | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very Affordable | Moderate to High | Very Expensive |
| Time to Complete | 3 to 5 hours | 1 to 2 days | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Demolition Required | None | None | Extensive |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 years | 5 to 10 years | 20+ years |
Clearly, our localized spray-on solution offers the best balance of price, speed, and overall beauty.
You do not have to worry about water getting trapped behind a plastic liner and causing mold.
Instead, you get a seamless, sanitary barrier that is incredibly easy to wipe clean.
Naturally, you might wonder about the actual steps we take when we visit your home.
Our friendly technicians treat your property with the utmost respect from the moment they arrive.
We carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheeting to block any overspray.
Next, we use a specialized etching acid to create microscopic pores on the old porcelain surface.
This step is crucial because it allows the new resin to grip the old material with incredible strength.
We never skip this prep work, unlike some cheap DIY kits that peel off after a few months.
Consequently, our professional-grade molecular bonding agent creates a permanent fusion between the old and new layers.
We then apply multiple coats of our proprietary aliphatic polyurethane resin using a precision spray system.
This advanced material resists yellowing, chipping, and cracking far better than hardware store epoxy paints.
After we pack up our gear, you only need to wait about twenty-four hours before taking a bath.
To maintain that brilliant shine, you should avoid abrasive scouring powders and harsh scrub pads.
Instead, use mild dish soap or gentle foaming cleaners with a soft microfiber cloth.
Honestly, even the most expensive brand-new acrylic tub will scratch if you scrub it with steel wool.
Treating your restored basin with a little bit of care ensures it looks pristine for over a decade.
We always provide a detailed care sheet so you know exactly how to protect your investment.
Moreover, keeping your original fixture out of the landfill is a fantastic choice for the environment.
Tearing out heavy cast iron or steel tubs wastes resources and clogs up our local waste facilities.
Refinishing is a green remodeling choice that reduces your carbon footprint while saving your hard-earned money.

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 Oyster Bay, 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.
