Upgrading your tub doesn’t require demolition or weeks of messy repairs. If the surface is stained, chipped, or peeling, our Pour-On Method restores a flawless, like-new finish—without the cost of replacement. It’s the ideal solution for New York City apartments, where old, thin spray coatings often fail and peel over time.
Quick facts (NYC):
- Time on site: about 3–4 hours
- Ready to use: typically in 24 hours
- Odor: low-odor / no overspray
- Durability: commonly 7–15 years with proper care
- Best for: cast iron and steel tubs with worn or damaged finish
Most people assume the only way to “fix” an old bathtub is to tear it out. But in NYC, replacement is often the most expensive and disruptive option: heavy cast iron, tight hallways, tile damage, plumbing work, building rules, and days (or weeks) without a usable bath.
Reglazing (refinishing) with the Pour-On Method restores the surface instead of removing the tub. The goal is simple: rebuild the bathtub finish into one smooth, seamless layer that looks clean, bright, and new.
If your bathtub is still solid underneath, this is usually the smartest upgrade you can make.

The pour-on system uses a thick base + hardener mixed in precise proportions right before application. The material is self-leveling, which is why it can form a smooth, glass-like finish without streaks, dry spray texture, or thin spots.
Because the working time is limited, the result depends on professional preparation and a consistent application technique — this isn’t a “paint it and hope” solution.
The coating forms a continuous surface that looks clean and glossy — no patch lines, no rough overspray texture.
You keep the original tub in place. No hauling a heavy cast-iron tub through the apartment, no tile destruction, no extended bathroom downtime.
Instead of hiding a problem spot, the surface is rebuilt as a whole — helping prevent peeling from spreading and keeping moisture from getting under weak areas.
No overspray drifting onto walls, floors, or fixtures. Work is contained and cleanup is controlled.
A smooth, non-porous finish helps resist stains and buildup. Maintenance is simple: mild cleaner + soft sponge.
Compared to many spray methods, the pour-on system is designed to reduce odor and harsh fumes — a major advantage in apartments.
Once cured, the finish is impact-resistant and built for everyday use.
Reglazing is typically a fraction of the cost of replacement — especially after you factor in plumbing, tile, labor, and building logistics.
Most projects take 3–4 hours on site. In many cases, the bathtub is ready in 24 hours.
The goal is the classic clean, snow-white look — without the worn, dull, stained surface.
A durable result comes from preparation. Our process typically includes:
Surrounding surfaces are protected before any work begins.
Loose enamel, peeling layers, and weak coating are removed to create a stable base.
Damaged spots are reinforced, leveled, and smoothed so the surface is even.
The tub is degreased, cleaned, and dried to maximize adhesion.
The coating is poured methodically and self-levels into one smooth layer.
We leave the bathroom clean and the tub ready to cure.
