We re-coat cast iron, steel, and porcelain tubs across the Bronx with our pour-on finish. Chips, cracks, rust, and a peeling old surface are gone in one visit — no tear-out, no new plumbing — and the tub is back in use the next day.

We work on the heavy, original fixtures found in Bronx homes — not plastic or acrylic tubs.
Original prewar cast iron, brought back to a smooth white finish.
Porcelain-on-steel tubs that have worn thin, chipped, or rusted.
Vintage cast iron clawfoots brought back to a smooth white inside.
In the borough's prewar walk-ups, swapping a tub is a demolition job. Refinishing keeps the tub in place and skips the mess.
They’re two words for the same thing — “resurfacing” is a third. We strip the worn surface off your cast iron or steel tub, repair the chips and rust, and pour on a fresh white coating. The tub looks new again without being torn out.
Yes. Everything we use comes up the stairs in cans, and nothing heavy leaves the apartment. Most Bronx buildings are walk-ups, so this is routine for us — there’s no demolition and no debris to haul down.
That’s a big part of our Bronx work. One visit of 3–4 hours, the tub cures overnight, and the unit is ready the next day. We can send a certificate of insurance to the building or management company if it’s needed.
Very little. No demolition, no plumber, and no dust beyond what we contain. The coating is solvent-free, so there are no harsh fumes for neighbors. We mask everything off and leave the bathroom clean.
With normal care, 10 to 15 years. The poured coating goes on several times thicker than a sprayed finish and resists the chips and peeling that spray jobs are known for. We back it with a 5-year written warranty.
When you book with New York Tubs, you aren't getting a random sub-contractor. You're getting a master refinisher with over a decade of experience.
For over a decade I've worked in tub refinishing, and I've personally refinished hundreds of tubs — every job done by me, start to finish. My reputation is built on durable, long-lasting results, a clean process with no solvent fumes, and full respect for your home.

| Criteria | Traditional Spray-On Method | OUR METHOD Pour-On Application |
|---|---|---|
| Typical lifespan | 1-3 years |  10-15 years |
| On-Site Work Time | ~5 hours | 3-4 hours |
| Coat thickness | 10 mils | 60–100 mils (up to 10× thicker) |
| Odor during work | Strong solvent smell, lingers | No solvent smell |
| VOC content | High | Low |
| Safe to stay home | No — residents usually vacate | Yes |
| Ready to Use | ~48 Hours | 24 hours |
| Long-Term Value | Spray-on has a lower up-front cost, but the coating usually needs to be redone every couple of years. | A pour-on coat lasts long enough that most clients replace or sell the tub before the finish needs to be redone. |
Most Bronx tubs are worth saving. The Grand Concourse Art Deco buildings, Parkchester, Co-op City, and the borough’s prewar walk-ups are full of solid cast iron tubs that outlast everything around them. Replacing one means opening the wall, re-tiling, and wrestling a heavy tub up and down tight stairs.
Refinishing skips all of that. We come to the unit, work around tenants and turnovers, and leave a smooth white finish the same day — whether it’s one bathroom or a building full of them. It’s work we’ve done across New York since 2013.
Poured on several times thicker than a sprayed finish, so it bonds tight to cast iron and porcelain and won’t peel. With normal care it holds up 10–15 years.
Easy to wipe down and disinfect. The sealed surface resists mildew, hard-water stains, and yellowing — no more scrubbing a tub that never looks clean.
The cured coat has some give, so it takes daily use — even a dropped bottle — without chipping the way a brittle sprayed finish does.
The coating is poured and levels itself. No brushes, pads, or tools ride across the tub, so there are no streaks or tool marks.
We strip the worn enamel, smooth chips and rough spots, and clear every bit of dust.
Chips, cracks, and rust pits are filled and leveled flush with the surface.
The coating is poured over the whole tub and self-levels for even, complete coverage — no bare spots.
Ready to use in about 24 hours, backed by a 5-year written warranty.
The coating is solvent-free — no harsh fumes and almost no smell — so the bathroom stays usable while we work.

Thank you, Kathleen! A fresh tub deserves a clean bathroom and clean caulk lines to go with it — that's just part of doing the job right. So glad you're happy with how it turned out. Enjoy it!

Thank you, Raymond! Glad you noticed the pour-on method — no spray means almost no fumes, and that's exactly why I work this way. Three hours, cleaned up, and a tub that looks brand new is the goal on every job. Enjoy it, and thanks for the recommendation!

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!

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!
