Once you discover the advantages of reglazing your bathtub – quick turnaround time, a beautiful, durable finish, and environmentally-friendly materials – you will want to get started right away. But you might wonder how much this superior-quality procedure costs.
You will be delighted to discover that the pour-on method of reglazing is a surprisingly affordable option compared to replacing your fixtures, and even compared to inferior refinishing processes that offer lower quality and less durability.
Both enameled cast iron and acrylic bathtubs with a worn surface can be restored to their original luster with the pour-on application. Regardless of the location of your bathtub or the configuration of your bathroom, any bathtub can be resurfaced with the pouring acrylic method.
Liquid acrylic is an excellent alternative to replacing your bathtub. Tearing out and installing a new fixture is expensive and time-consuming, and it also carries the risk of damaging the wall and floor tiles, which only adds more delays, inconvenience and costs.
Consider too that replacing your tub may mean you also need to install new faucets and other plumbing. Additional costs include delivery as well as professional removal, installation and connections of the new fixture. All these costs can add up quickly, making the renovation process very expensive.
You can avoid these problems and save money with our state-of-the art reglazing process. You get first-date service and superior results at an affordable price.

Bathtub Refinishing Cost in NYC
The good news is that bathtub reglazing with acrylic costs 2-3 times less than completely replacing it, make it a great investment. Why is this method so popular and affordable?
Labor expenses: Instead of paying for several tradesmen to work many hours, one craftsman alone can finish the work in a few hours.
Dismantling costs: The existing tub does not need to be removed because the reglazing method uses a self-leveling compound. The process is finished more quickly and easily.
Plumbing costs: The reglazing process is confined to the tub area, so nearby surfaces do not get damaged. The plumbing does not have to be disconnected or replaced, resulting in significant savings.
Materials: Liquid acrylic materials are quite affordable, even the high-end varieties. The labor costs for the craftsman that applies the finish are proportional to the amount of material used, making it a cost-effective solution.
Cleaning and disinfecting: Apartment residents and property managers can save on expensive cleaning and disinfecting products because reglazed bathtubs have a smooth, clear surface that is easier to keep clean.
Long-lasting value: When it comes to durability, there is no comparison to other refinishing materials. The reglazed finish is durable and stain-resistant, so its dependable, beautiful finish can last for about 15 years.
Bottom line: When you consider all the factors, pour-on acrylic reglazing is the most cost-effective option for renovating your bathtub.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to reglaze a bathtub?
The cost of reglazing or restoring the surface of a bathtub can fluctuate widely based on various factors. The size of the bathtub, the condition of the surface, the location of the property and additional services all determine the final price. Typically, reglazing costs between $400 and $600 or more.
How is the work performed?
If the old plumbing needs to be replaced, that is done before the reglazing process begins. Then the surface is cleaned with sandpaper and an abrasive powder to remove the old enamel and eliminate damage and defects. Next, the dust is removed and the surface is treated with acidic compounds to neutralize any residue and provide a smooth, even surface.
When the preparation is complete, the surface of the bathtub is covered with liquid acrylic using the pour-on application process. The skilled refinisher assures that the material is evenly applied and leveled to form a smooth, uniform glaze.
What material is used?
The liquid acrylic material we use is ArmoGlaze, which is safe for you, your children, and the environment, with near zero VOC status. It solidifies and is ready to use in 24 hours. The material and process are odorless and non-toxic during application and after. This technology has been used since 2011 with outstanding results.
How long does the reglazing process take?
The entire process of preparing and reglazing the bathtub is quick and convenient, normally taking around 3 hours (depending on the complexity of the work, more complex cases may take up to 4 hours).
The time required for complete drying and hardening of the material is about 24 hours. During the work and subsequent hardening time, there is no smell. Since there is no demolition or extensive renovation, there is much less mess and disruption to your daily routine. Our experienced, professional technicians take the utmost care to leave the work area clean and neat when they finish.
How long does the reglazed finish last?
The professionally reglazed finish should last for 7 to 15 years with proper maintenance. It’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s required maintenance instructions in order to extend the lifespan of the finish. Our pour-on method lasts several times longer than spray-on techniques and resists peeling.
We accept:
