What we restore
Cast iron, steel, and porcelain
We work on the heavy, original fixtures found in Staten Island homes — not plastic or acrylic tubs.
Cast iron tubs
Older North Shore cast iron, brought back to a smooth white finish.
Steel tubs
Porcelain-on-steel tubs that have worn thin, chipped, or rusted.
Clawfoot tubs
Vintage cast iron clawfoots brought back to a smooth white inside.
Across Staten Island
Built for a borough of houses
Staten Island isn’t apartment towers — it’s houses. Single- and two-family homes, one or two bathrooms each, and the tub is almost always upstairs.
On the older North Shore — St. George, New Brighton, Stapleton — that usually means a heavy cast iron tub from the early 1900s, sometimes a clawfoot. Out on the South Shore — Great Kills, Eltingville, Tottenville — it’s more often a postwar steel tub set into a tiled alcove. Both refinish well, and both are worth keeping rather than replacing.
Replace vs refinish
Why Staten Island owners refinish instead of replacing
In a finished home, swapping a tub is a demolition job. Refinishing keeps the tub in place and skips the mess.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take the old tub out of my Staten Island home?
No — it stays exactly where it is. We refinish it in place, so there’s no demolition, no torn-up tile, and nothing heavy to carry down the stairs and out to the driveway.
How do we take care of the tub after it's refinished?
Give it a day or two to fully harden, then clean it with a non-abrasive cleaner — no scouring powders or scrubbing pads. Try not to leave a suction-cup bath mat sitting on the surface, since trapped water can mark it over time. Otherwise it’s easy to live with, and the finish holds up for 10 to 15 years.
My cast iron tub is from the 1950s — can it really be saved?
Usually, yes. Rust, chips, cracks, and a worn-out surface are exactly what the pour-on coating fixes. If a tub truly can’t be saved, we’ll tell you up front instead of taking the job.
Is this better than buying a new tub?
For most homes, yes. A replacement means demolition, a plumber, new tile, and a week or two without the bathroom — usually $2,000 or more. Refinishing keeps your tub in place, starts at $475, and is back in use the next day.
What color is the finish, and how long does it last?
We finish in a clean white that suits standard tile and fixtures — no custom colors, because white is what holds up over time. With normal care the finish lasts 10 to 15 years, backed by a 5-year written warranty.
How long does the visit take, and when can we use the tub?
The work is one visit of about 3–4 hours. The coating then cures for roughly 24 hours, so the tub is ready the next day. It’s solvent-free, so there are no strong fumes while it sets.

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. |
Replace or refinish
The case against tearing it out
Replacing a tub in a house is bigger than it sounds. The old cast iron has to be broken up or carried down the stairs and out to the driveway, the tile around it comes off, a plumber resets the drain, and the wall gets re-tiled. That’s $2,000 or more and a week or two with the bathroom out of use — a real problem when it’s the only full bath upstairs.
Refinishing skips all of it. The tub stays bolted in, we re-coat it in 3–4 hours, and it’s back in use the next day — from $475, with a 5-year written warranty.

What Staten Island homeowners ask us
Do you take the old tub out? No — it stays exactly where it is. Everything happens in place, so there’s no demolition and nothing heavy to haul down the stairs.
Can you do a second-floor bathroom? Yes. What we use comes upstairs in cans and leaves the same way. Upstairs baths are most of what we do on the Island.
My cast iron tub is from the 1950s — is it too far gone? Usually not. Rust, chips, and a worn-out surface are exactly what the pour-on coating is for. If a tub truly can’t be saved, we’ll tell you up front.
Will the white match the rest of the bathroom? We finish in a clean white that works with standard tile and fixtures. We don’t do custom colors — white is what holds up and keeps looking right over the years.
How soon can we use it? About 24 hours after we finish. The coating is solvent-free, so there are no harsh fumes or strong smell while it cures and the bathroom stays usable.
The visit
One trip, start to finish
We strip the worn surface, fill the chips, cracks, and rust pits, then pour the new coating over the whole tub so it self-levels into an even finish — no brush marks, no bare spots. By the next day it’s cured and ready, and we leave the bathroom clean. We’ve refinished tubs across New York since 2013.

Raymond BalchiLocal Guide · 54 reviews · 4 photos
Very satisfied with the job that Artem did. He arrived right on time and he said it would take him 3 hours and at the end of 3 hours he was cleaning up and ready to go and everything was done. I love that the pour on method doesn't give a lot of fumes and the finished product looks beautiful my tub looks brand new. I can highly recommend him.
↳ Owner's reply
Thank you, Raymond! Glad you noticed the pour-on method — no spray means almost no fumes, and that's exactly why I work this way. Three hours, cleaned up, and a tub that looks brand new is the goal on every job. Enjoy it, and thanks for the recommendation!

ricky smith5 reviews
New york tubs did a great job .Thete was a little spot on the tub drain and he came right back and cleaned it off plus he installed a new strainer basket over thst drain free of charge. Would definitely recommend
↳ Owner's reply
Thank you, Ricky! Coming back to sort out a small detail is just part of standing behind the work — we'd rather make the trip than leave you with anything less than right. Glad the new strainer finished it off nicely. Enjoy the tub!

A job well done! My tub looks great again. Highly recommended. Artem showed up in time, the job was finished in the amount time promised and there was no debris to clean up because the took care of that. All in all a great experience. Thank you👍
↳ Owner's reply
Thank you so much for the kind words, Gustavo! We're glad your tub looks great again — the before and after photos say it all. Enjoy your new tub, and don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything.
Paul4 reviews
Hi! Just wanted to drop my very good feedback about NYTubs! Artem has revitalized my bath tub in 3 hours. I also asked to refine the joints between the tub and the walls and the floor. And the joints now look real good! Thank you! My experience was def awesome!
↳ Owner's reply
Thank you, Paul! Glad you mentioned the joints — fresh caulking makes a huge difference next to a new finish, and it's often the detail that gets overlooked. Happy the whole bathroom came together for you. Enjoy the tub!
