Bathtub Reglazing Cost

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 other types of 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 pour-on method.

The pour-on coating 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-rate service and superior results at an affordable price.

Bathtub Refinishing Cost in NYC

The good news is that bathtub reglazing costs 2–3 times less than completely replacing it, making 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 refinishing 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: Pour-on materials are quite affordable, even the high-end varieties. The labor costs for the craftsman who 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 reglazing is the most cost-effective option for renovating your bathtub.

How Much Does Bathtub Refinishing Cost?

Pour-on restoration is affordable, even for those on a limited budget. The exact cost can vary, depending on several factors:

The size of the bathtub. The amount of material required depends on the size of the tub, which affects the price.
Additional services. For example, sealing the edge of the bathtub and related plumbing work add additional costs.
Color. Bathtub refinishing with colored coatings and the addition of color pastes results in higher costs than standard white reglazing.
Type of composition material. Materials that contain silver nanoparticles, quick-drying formulas, and other specialty materials carry an additional charge.

How is the work performed?

Our reglazing process is meticulous, clean, and designed to achieve a perfect, long-lasting finish. Here’s how our skilled technicians perform the work:

Deep Cleaning & Surface Preparation: First, we thoroughly clean the tub’s surface and repair any chips or cracks. We then professionally prepare the original enamel to create the ideal foundation for the new coating to bond permanently.
Pour-On Application: Next, we apply our premium coating using our signature pour-on method. This technique ensures a thick, smooth, and perfectly even layer across the entire surface, without the fumes or mess associated with spraying.
Flawless Finish: The material is self-leveling, creating a brilliant, high-gloss glaze that is indistinguishable from a brand-new tub. We leave your bathroom clean and your tub ready for use in just 24 hours.

What material is used?

We use an advanced liquid acrylic that is specifically designed for bathtub refinishing. Unlike traditional epoxy enamels, our material is odorless, non-toxic, and has near-zero VOCs, making the process perfectly safe for your family and pets.

Once cured, it forms a brilliant, high-gloss finish that is incredibly durable, non-porous, and resistant to impacts and household chemicals. Essentially, you get a beautiful, long-lasting surface without the harsh fumes.

How long does the reglazing process take?

Time The entire process is quick and convenient, typically taking around 3 hours. More complex jobs might take up to 4 hours.

The material requires about 24 hours to fully dry and harden before you can use your “new” bathtub.

Minimal mess and disruption to your daily routine.
Experienced professionals ensure a clean workspace.

How long does the reglazed finish last?

With proper care, your professionally reglazed bathtub will look brilliant for 7 to 15 years.

Our advanced pour-on method creates a thick, durable bond that lasts several times longer than inferior spray-on paints and is highly resistant to peeling and chipping. Following our simple care instructions is the key to maximizing its lifespan.
