Bathtub Refinishing (Reglazing) in New York
We refinish bathtubs in apartments and homes across New York City. Our pour-on method restores the original look of a porcelain or cast-iron tub in one visit — no demolition, no plumbing work, and no overnight fumes.
Refinishing makes sense when the tub is structurally sound but cosmetically worn: chips, scratches, dull or yellowed enamel, stubborn stains, or hard-water damage.
Replacing a bathtub in a New York apartment usually means a week of bathroom downtime, tile work, and — in a co-op — a building permit and a certificate of insurance. Refinishing takes about three hours and costs a fraction of a full replacement.
The pour-on method is different from the spray-on refinishing that most US contractors offer. Spray coatings are thin — roughly 0.15 mm — and tend to wear through within one to three years. A pour-on coat is several times thicker, self-levels into a smooth, glossy finish, and holds up to daily use. With normal care, it will last 10 to 15 years.
New York Tubs has been refinishing tubs in New York since 2005. We’re based in Brooklyn and work across Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and parts of Staten Island. Licensed and insured; COIs available on request for co-ops and condos.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is bathtub refinishing?
Bathtub reglazing (also known as refinishing or resurfacing) restores your old tub’s surface to a smooth, glossy, like-new condition. It removes stains, chips, and dull areas, creating a durable, long-lasting coating that looks just like a brand-new bathtub.
Is refinishing better than replacing my tub?
Yes. Refinishing is faster, cleaner, and far more affordable than replacing your bathtub. It saves you from demolition, plumbing work, and high installation costs — while giving you the same fresh, glossy look.
What material is used?
We use a next-generation pour-on coating — an odor-free, non-toxic, and long-lasting material specially developed for bathtub restoration. It forms a thick, smooth layer that levels itself naturally and provides a strong, durable finish.
How long does the reglazing process take?
The entire process is quick and convenient, typically taking around 3 hours. More complex jobs might take up to 4 hours.
The material requires about 24 hours to fully dry and harden before you can use your “new” bathtub.
- Minimal mess and disruption to your daily routine.
- Experienced professionals ensure a clean workspace.
How long does the reglazed finish last?
With proper care, your professionally reglazed bathtub will look brilliant for up to 15 years.
Our advanced pour-on method creates a thick, durable bond that lasts several times longer than inferior spray-on paints and is highly resistant to peeling and chipping. Following our simple care instructions is the key to maximizing its lifespan.
Can a bathtub be reglazed more than once?
Yes, it can.
A bathtub can be reglazed more than once if the previous coating was properly applied. Our durable pour-on finish lasts up to 15 years and allows safe re-application when needed. If the old surface was done poorly, we’ll first inspect and prepare it for a flawless new layer.
Can I use a bath mat on my new tub?
You might not need one! Our unique formula has a built-in micro-texture, making it safer and less slippery than other coatings. If you still prefer to use a mat, you certainly can. Just be sure to remove it after each use to allow the surface to dry completely.
Is bathtub reglazing a DIY project?
Bathtub refinishing isn’t a DIY project. It requires experience, precision, and professional materials. To ensure a smooth, durable finish that lasts for years, it’s best handled by trained specialists.
What payment methods do you accept?
You can pay with cash, Zelle, or personal check with no additional fees.
If you prefer to pay by credit card, there will be an additional 3.5% processing fee.
