The material we use

Built to last 10–15 years

Our pour-on coating is a thick two-part material that bonds to the prepared tub and cures into a hard, smooth finish. It rebuilds the surface instead of just covering it — which is why it outlasts a thin spray-on coat by years.

Won’t peel or fade — strong adhesion keeps the finish bright, with no peeling, cracking, or fading.

Takes a hit — resilient enough to shrug off dropped shampoo bottles and everyday wear.

10–15 years with proper care — it stays as bright as the day it was applied.

Easy to keep clean — resists rust and dirt, so it wipes clean and saves you time and money.

Replace vs refinish

Why owners refinish instead of replacing

Refinishing keeps your tub in place and costs a fraction of a full replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions


Can you refinish the original clawfoot tub in my brownstone?

Yes — clawfoot and other cast iron tubs are some of our favorite Brooklyn work. We strip the worn surface, repair chips and rust, and pour on a fresh white finish, inside and out. The tub keeps its shape and character; it just looks new again.

My building is landmarked — is refinishing allowed?

Refinishing is a surface restoration, not a renovation — no demolition, no plumbing changes, nothing structural — so it doesn’t touch anything a landmark designation covers. You’re keeping the original fixture, which is usually the goal in a historic home.

Do you finish the outside of a clawfoot, or only the inside?

Just the inside — the bathing surface. The outside of a clawfoot is painted enamel and needs a different process (sanding, priming, repainting), so a regular painter is the right choice for the exterior and the feet.

We're renovating a brownstone — keep the old cast iron tub or replace it?

If the tub is solid cast iron, keeping it is almost always the better call. New tubs are usually thin steel or acrylic, while your original is heavy, deep, and built to last. Refinishing costs a fraction of replacement and avoids tearing into tiled walls. We work on cast iron and steel only — not acrylic.

How do you get everything up to a 3rd- or 4th-floor walk-up?

It all comes up the stairs in cans — there’s no heavy equipment and nothing bulky to move. Brooklyn rowhouses and walk-ups are most of what we do, so a top-floor bathroom is no problem. Nothing leaves the apartment either, since the tub stays in place.

What does it cost, how long does it take, and how long does it last?

Brooklyn tubs start at $475, with one visit of about 3–4 hours and the tub ready to use in roughly 24 hours. With normal care the finish lasts 10 to 15 years, backed by a 5-year written warranty. We finish in white only.

Why the Pour-On Method Wins — Every Time

Criteria Traditional Spray-On Method OUR METHOD Pour-On Application
Typical lifespan 1-3 years check 10-15 years
On-Site Work Time ~5 hours check 3-4 hours
Coat thickness 10 mils check 60–100 mils (up to 10× thicker)
Odor during work Strong solvent smell, lingers check No solvent smell
VOC content High check Low
Safe to stay home No — residents usually vacate check Yes
Ready to Use ~48 Hours check 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.

Bathtub refinishing — before & after

Bathtub Restoration in Brooklyn (Before and After)

We’ve served Brooklyn (Kings County) for years — careful prep, a clean workspace, and we don’t cut corners. The pour-on coat goes on in about an hour; with prep, the whole job takes around 3 hours, and the tub is ready to use in about 24 hours.

Why reglazing beats replacing

More affordable — reglazing is an easier and more affordable option than replacing your bathtub, which can be expensive and time-consuming. The cost of the fixture, finishing materials, plumbing materials, and labor can all add up quickly.

No bathroom for days — it’s time-consuming and inconvenient not to have access to your bathroom during the renovation.

Dirt, mess, and stress — the dirt and mess of demolition can add to your stress.

Surprise redecorating — if the walls or floor are damaged during the demolition, you have to factor in redecorating, too.

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!

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!
