We re-coat cast iron and steel tubs across Hudson County with our pour-on finish — Hoboken and Jersey City brownstones, rowhouses, and condos alike. Rust, chips, cracks, and a peeling surface are gone in one visit, and the tub is back in use the next day.
Hudson County is dense and built up — the brownstones and rowhouses of Hoboken and Jersey City, walk-up apartments, and condo towers along the waterfront. Refinishing is built for exactly this kind of building:

Original cast iron and clawfoots in Hoboken and Jersey City — the inside re-coated to a smooth white finish.
One visit per unit, no mess in the rest of the house, and a finish that’s ready for tenants the next day.
We provide the certificate of insurance the building office or board needs before work starts.
Refinishing keeps your tub in place and costs a fraction of a full replacement.
Yes — original cast iron, including freestanding clawfoots, is a lot of our Hudson County work. We refinish the inside bathing surface, and the tub keeps its shape and character.
Yes. We carry general liability insurance and can name your building or HOA on the certificate before the job. There’s no demolition and no debris, so it’s an easy approval for most boards.
Everything comes up the stairs in cans — no heavy equipment, nothing bulky. Walk-ups are most of what we do across Hudson County, so a top-floor bathroom is routine, and nothing leaves the unit.
Usually, yes. A replacement means demolition and debris in a tight space, a plumber, and new tile — often $2,000 or more. Refinishing keeps the tub in place, runs from $435, and is back in use the next day.
Yes. The coating is solvent-free, so there’s almost no smell and no harsh fumes. The tub is ready to use about 24 hours after we finish.
With normal care, 10 to 15 years. The poured coating goes on thick and resists the peeling and chipping that spray finishes are known for, and every job carries a 5-year written warranty.

| 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. |
Text or email a couple of photos of your tub.
We send a fixed price back the same day.
For condos and co-ops we provide the certificate of insurance the office needs.
3–4 hours on site, ready to use the next day.
In a Hudson County walk-up, replacing a tub means hauling heavy cast iron down several flights, then pulling tile and resetting plumbing on a wall that’s otherwise fine. A full replacement runs $3,000+ before you count the days without a bathroom. Refinishing keeps the tub where it is, brings the surface back to smooth white in one visit, and is backed by a 5-year written warranty.
The coating is solvent-free — no harsh fumes and almost no smell — so it’s fine in a small or windowless bathroom. We’ve refinished tubs across the New York area since 2013.
If your tub is in Hudson County, NJ, we come to it — from Jersey City and Hoboken down to Bayonne and West New York.
