In Roosevelt Island, the Manhattan 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.
Maybe your morning starts with a sigh when you look at that stained tub. Naturally, you want a beautiful bathroom but the thought of dusty demolition makes you shudder. Fortunately, a smart alternative exists that transforms your worn-out tub into a gleaming masterpiece in just one day.
By choosing to refinish the surface instead of ripping it out, you save thousands of dollars. This means you avoid the nightmare of hiring plumbers and dealing with broken tiles. Our local team specialize in restoring that glossy shine right where it sits.
To make things even better, we offer a completely free estimate to help you plan your project. Actually, you can get this budget-friendly upgrade without any pressure or hidden fees. Just reach out to us and we will handle the rest.
You might wonder how we turn a dull, scratched basin into something resembling brand-new porcelain. Firstly, we thoroughly clean the area using industrial-strength prep agents to strip away decades of soap scum. Consequently, the new coating bonds perfectly to the original material.
Next, we repair any deep chips or ugly rust spots that ruin your daily soak. After fixing those imperfections, we apply a specialized bonding agent that acts like superglue for the liquid acrylic. Finally, we spray several coats of high-tech protective resin to create a deep, rich luster.
This process delivers incredible durability while keeping your original fixture intact. Because of this, you get to keep your heavy cast iron piece which actually retains heat much better than modern plastic replacements. You get the best of both worlds with zero hassle.
Let us look at the real numbers because nobody likes wasting hard-earned cash. Replacing a tub involves tearing down walls, upgrading old pipes, and paying disposal fees. On top of that, you might lose the use of your only bathroom for weeks.
On the flip side, our process takes less than a day to complete. This lets you use your shower again after just twenty-four hours of curing time. Indeed, the convenience alone makes this a very popular choice for busy households.
| Comparison Factor | Complete Replacement | Professional Refinishing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High ($3,000 - $8,000) | Highly Affordable |
| Project Duration | One to two weeks | Under 24 hours |
| Mess and Dust | Extreme demolition | Virtually none |
Which means you keep your peace of mind while securing a gorgeous result. Additionally, this cost-effective method prevents tons of construction waste from ending up in our local landfills. It is a win for your wallet and the planet too.
Preparation is key, so we start by carefully masking off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheets. Following that, we set up a powerful ventilation system to pull any fumes directly out of your window. This keeps your indoor air clean and safe while we work.
Then, we use precision spraying equipment to achieve a factory-smooth finish without any brush marks. Honestly, you will be amazed at how flat and glassy the surface looks when we finish. We take pride in our meticulous attention to every single corner.
Once we pack up our gear, we leave your space spotless and ready to admire. Afterward, we explain the simple steps to keep your newly coated surface looking spectacular for years to come. You will receive top-tier service from start to finish.
Taking care of your upgraded tub is actually much easier than dealing with old, porous porcelain. Since the new non-porous layer resists dirt, you do not need to scrub like crazy anymore. In fact, harsh abrasive cleaners will actually dull the shine over time.
Instead, you just wipe it down with a mild liquid soap and a soft sponge. This simple routine keeps the surface incredibly bright and prevents any mineral buildup. Ultimately, a little gentle care protects your investment for a decade or more.
We always share these pro tips because we want your bathroom to stay beautiful. If you ever have questions about specific products, we are always just a quick phone call away. Customer satisfaction is our absolute priority.

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 Roosevelt Island, 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.
