Bathtub Reglazing in Nassau County, NY
Refinish your Nassau County tub — no remodel required
We re-coat cast iron and steel tubs across Nassau County with our pour-on finish. Rust, chips, cracks, and a worn-out surface are gone in one visit — no tear-out, no re-tiling — and the tub is back in use the next day.

Built for Long Island’s homes
Most Nassau homes went up after the war — the ranches, Capes, and split-levels of Levittown, Hicksville, Massapequa, and Wantagh, plus the older houses of Garden City, Rockville Centre, and Great Neck.
The tub is usually a porcelain-on-steel alcove tub set into a tiled wall, and after decades of use it chips, rusts at the drain, and goes rough. Replacing it means pulling tile and resetting plumbing on a wall that’s otherwise fine. Refinishing brings the surface back without opening the wall — and the older cast iron tubs out here are well worth keeping.
Signs your tub is ready
If your tub shows any of these, the pour-on coating brings it back — no need for a new one.
- Rust at the drain and overflow — cut back to clean metal and sealed under the new coat.
- Chips and gouges down to the metal — filled and leveled flush with the surface.
- Fine cracks and crazing across the old enamel — sealed so they stop spreading.
- A rough, stained surface that never comes clean — made smooth and white again.
- A cheap previous refinish that’s peeling or yellowing — stripped off and replaced.
Why owners refinish instead of replacing
Refinishing keeps your tub in place and costs a fraction of a full replacement.

Frequently asked questions
Do you refinish steel alcove tubs, or only cast iron?
Both. Most Nassau homes have a porcelain-on-steel alcove tub, and they refinish just as well as cast iron. We strip the worn surface, fix the chips and rust, and pour on a fresh white coating. We don’t work on plastic or acrylic tubs.
My bathroom tile is fine — will refinishing disturb it?
No. We mask the tile, fixtures, and floor, work only on the tub, and pull the masking when we’re done. There’s no demolition, so the surrounding tile stays exactly as it is.
The drain end of my tub is rusted through the enamel — can that be fixed?
Usually yes. We grind the rust back to clean metal, fill and level the pitted areas, and seal them under the new coating. Rust at the drain and overflow is one of the most common things we repair on Long Island.
Is refinishing cheaper than a new tub?
By a lot, once you count the whole job. A replacement is demolition, a plumber, new tile, and a week or two of downtime — usually $2,000 or more. Refinishing starts at $475 and is back in use the next day.
How long does it take, and when can we use it?
One visit of about 3–4 hours, then roughly 24 hours to cure. The tub is ready the next day. The coating is solvent-free, so there’s almost no smell.
How long will it last?
With normal care, 10 to 15 years. The poured coating is several times thicker than a sprayed finish and resists peeling and chipping. Every job carries a 5-year written warranty.

Why the Pour-On Method Wins — Every Time
| 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. |
A finish built for daily use
A thick poured coat
Because it’s poured rather than sprayed, the coating goes on several times thicker and bonds tight to cast iron and steel — so it wears like the original, for 10 to 15 years.
Smooth and easy to clean
The sealed surface wipes clean and resists mildew, hard-water stains, and yellowing — no more scrubbing a tub that never looks clean.
Takes everyday knocks
The cured film has a little give, so daily use — even a dropped shampoo bottle — doesn’t chip it the way a brittle sprayed finish does.
Nothing drags across it
The coating is poured and levels itself, so no brush, pad, or roller rides over the tub. That means no streaks and no tool marks.
One visit, start to finish
Prep
We strip the worn enamel, smooth the rough spots, and clear every bit of dust.
Repair
Chips, cracks, and rust pits are filled and leveled flush with the surface.
Pour-on coat
The coating is poured over the whole tub and self-levels for even, complete coverage.
Cure
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. We’ve refinished tubs across the New York area since 2013.
