ABOUT US

About New York Tubs

We refinish bathtubs — and only that

New York Tubs is a small, specialized shop that refinishes bathtubs in NYC apartments and homes. That’s all we do — no tile work, no plumbing, no shower pans. The team has more than a decade in the trade and brought the pour-on method to New York in 2022. We work directly with homeowners, renters, building managers, and co-op boards — and most jobs are done in a single visit: in by morning, finished by early afternoon, ready to use the next day.

Fully licensed and insured — general liability and workers’ compensation coverage up to $2,000,000, underwritten by Hiscox. COIs available within 24 hours for buildings that require them.

What we do

The pour-on method

We refinish bathtubs using the pour-on method. The coating is poured straight onto the surface, where it self-levels into a thick, even film that bonds tight to cast iron and steel.

Most jobs take about three hours, and the tub is ready to use 24 hours later — one visit, no demolition, no plumbing, and no overnight fumes.

Pour-on bathtub refinishing in progress

Where we draw the line

Bathtubs only

What we do

  • Refinish cast iron and steel tubs
  • Pour-on, self-leveling coating
  • One visit, about three hours
  • Ready to use in 24 hours
  • Backed by a 5-year written warranty

What we don’t

  • Spray — it goes on far thinner (about 6 mils vs our 30–40) and tends to fail in two or three years
  • Acrylic tub inserts — they trap water underneath and have to come out later
  • Sinks, shower pans, or tile refinishing
  • Anything outside the bathtub itself

Why we specialize

One trade, every variation

Most refinishing businesses take any work they can get — tubs, tile, counters, sinks, shower pans. We chose to focus on bathtubs only, and within bathtubs, only on porcelain-on-steel and cast iron.

It means we’ve seen every variation New York has — from prewar cast iron carrying three layers of old refinishing to standard postwar tubs — and we know what works on each one. When something unusual turns up on a job, we’ve usually seen it before.

The finished surface is smooth and uniformly white — close to a new factory enamel. It has a slight micro-texture, so it isn’t as slippery as bare porcelain, and there’s no need for a bath mat.

New york tubs did a great job .Thete was a little spot on the tub drain and he came right back and cleaned it off plus he installed a new strainer basket over thst drain free of charge. Would definitely recommend
↳ Owner's reply

Thank you, Ricky! Coming back to sort out a small detail is just part of standing behind the work — we'd rather make the trip than leave you with anything less than right. Glad the new strainer finished it off nicely. Enjoy the tub!

Hi! Just wanted to drop my very good feedback about NYTubs! Artem has revitalized my bath tub in 3 hours. I also asked to refine the joints between the tub and the walls and the floor. And the joints now look real good! Thank you! My experience was def awesome!
↳ Owner's reply

Thank you, Paul! Glad you mentioned the joints — fresh caulking makes a huge difference next to a new finish, and it's often the detail that gets overlooked. Happy the whole bathroom came together for you. Enjoy the tub!

Thank you for the excellent work!
↳ Owner's reply

Thank you so much, Lily! It was a real pleasure working with you. Attention to detail is where the whole result lives in this kind of work, so it means a lot that you noticed. Enjoy the tub, and thank you for the recommendation!

I am very pleased with the process and the work that was done. They were prompt on the day of service and even followed up with care instructions.

I would definitely use them again!
↳ Owner's reply

Thank you, Janet! Showing up on time and making sure you know how to care for the new finish are both part of doing the job right. We'd be happy to work with you again anytime — enjoy the tub!

We've used this companies services for reglazing for our multi family properties. With vacant and occupied apartments. Very very satisfied with the services.
↳ Owner's reply

Thank you, Norberto. Working with JGV on both vacant and occupied units across your properties has been a pleasure — we know how important quick turnaround and a clean process are when tenants are living there. We look forward to the next ones.

Artem was prompt, professional and neat. My 80 year old tub was reglazed in under 3 hours and looks brand new. I highly recommend New York Tubs!!
↳ Owner's reply

Thank you, Robert! An 80-year-old tub back to brand new in a morning — that's exactly what refinishing is for. These old cast iron tubs are worth saving. Enjoy it, and thanks for the recommendation!
