Bathtub Reglazing in Queens, NY
Refinish your Queens tub — without tearing out the bathroom
We re-coat cast iron, steel, and porcelain tubs across Queens with our pour-on finish. Deep cracks, chips, rust, and a peeling old surface are gone in one visit — no tear-out, no new plumbing — and the tub is back in use the next day.

Whatever you’re working with in Queens
The borough is a patchwork — co-op towers, brick rowhouses, two-family homes, and houses with yards. Most of our Queens jobs are one of these three.
Homeowners
One tired tub in a house in Flushing, Bayside, or Forest Hills — brought back without pulling the bathroom apart.
Co-op & condo residents
Jackson Heights, Rego Park, Forest Hills. The board won’t allow demolition and neighbors are right below — so refinishing in place is the practical fix.
Two-family owners & landlords
Astoria, Ridgewood, Jamaica. Turn a worn tub around between tenants — one visit, ready the next day, no unit offline for long.
Board-ready, clean, and contained
Queens has more co-ops than anywhere in the city, and most boards want paperwork before any work starts. We handle that side constantly.
- We carry general liability insurance and provide a certificate of insurance, with the building named as needed.
- No demolition and no debris — the tub is refinished in place, so there’s nothing to carry out or dispose of.
- We protect the hallway and elevator on the way in and clean up before we leave.
- The whole job is one quiet visit of 3–4 hours, with no solvent fumes to bother neighbors.
Why Queens owners refinish instead of replacing
Tearing out a tub is a remodel — demolition, a plumber, new tile, and days without a bathroom. Refinishing keeps the tub in place and skips the mess.
Refinishing
- One visit, about 3 hours
- Tub ready to use in 24 hours
- Keeps your existing tile & plumbing
- 5-year warranty
Replacement
- Demolition + plumber + new tile
- A week or more of downtime
- Building permit if plumbing moves
- Heavy cast iron to cut out and haul away
Frequently asked questions
Do you provide a certificate of insurance for my Queens co-op board?
Yes — we do this constantly. We carry general liability insurance and can name your building or management company on the certificate before we start. Queens has more co-ops than anywhere in the city, so board paperwork is a normal part of the job.
Will the board approve refinishing — it's not a renovation, is it?
No, it isn’t. There’s no demolition, no plumbing work, and nothing structural — we re-coat the existing tub in place. That’s exactly why boards allow it when they won’t allow a full tub replacement.
What is the pour-on coating, and is it safe in an apartment?
It’s a self-leveling coating made for tubs. We pour it over the whole surface and it settles into a smooth, hard white finish. It’s solvent-free, so there’s almost no smell and no harsh fumes — the bathroom stays usable and neighbors aren’t bothered.
I own a two-family — how fast can a unit be back in service?
One visit of 3–4 hours, then about 24 hours to cure. In most cases the tub is ready the next day, so a rental is barely offline. Common across Astoria, Ridgewood, and Jamaica.
Which Queens neighborhoods do you cover?
All of them — Jackson Heights, Flushing, Forest Hills, Astoria, Bayside, Long Island City, Jamaica, and everywhere between. If your neighborhood isn’t on our list, we still cover it.
How long will the finish hold up, and what's the warranty?
Around 10 to 15 years with normal care. The coating is poured on thick and resists peeling and chipping far better than a sprayed finish. Every job carries a 5-year written warranty, and Queens tubs start at $435.

Additional Services
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 cleaner alternative to replacing
A full replacement turns one tub into a building-wide project. Refinishing skips the parts nobody wants.
What you skip by refinishing
- Demolition, debris, and a dumpster permit
- A plumber and new tile around the tub
- Hauling a 300-lb cast iron tub through the building
- A week or more with the bathroom out of use
- $2,000+ and board approval for a renovation
What you get instead
- The tub refinished in place, from $435
- One visit, 3–4 hours, fully contained
- Back in use in about 24 hours
- A 5-year written warranty
