We re-coat cast iron and steel tubs across Westchester County with our pour-on finish — from period homes to co-op buildings. Rust, chips, cracks, and a peeling old surface are gone in one visit, and the tub is back in use the next day.
Westchester runs from Tudor and Colonial homes in Scarsdale, Bronxville, and Rye to the Victorians of Tarrytown and Hastings, and the prewar co-op and apartment buildings of Yonkers, White Plains, and New Rochelle.
The older houses usually have original cast iron — sometimes a clawfoot — that’s worth restoring rather than replacing. The buildings have the same heavy cast iron set into a tiled alcove. Both come back to a smooth white finish in a single visit.

Original cast iron and clawfoots in Scarsdale, Bronxville, and Tarrytown — the inside re-coated to a smooth white finish.
In Yonkers, White Plains, and New Rochelle we handle the board paperwork — liability insurance and a certificate naming the building, with no demolition or debris.
Refinishing keeps your tub in place and costs a fraction of a full replacement.
Yes — clawfoot and other cast iron tubs are some of our favorite work. We refinish the inside, the bathing surface, and it comes back to a smooth white finish.
Yes. We carry general liability insurance and can name your building or management company on a certificate of insurance before we start. There’s no demolition or debris, which is usually what boards care about most.
If it’s solid cast iron, keeping it is almost always the better call — it’s deeper and heavier than a new tub, and refinishing avoids tearing into tiled walls. New tubs are usually thin steel or acrylic; we work on cast iron and steel only.
White only. It suits standard tile and fixtures and holds up better than tinted coatings over the years, so we keep to it.
One visit of about 3–4 hours, ready to use in roughly 24 hours, and the finish lasts 10 to 15 years with normal care — backed by a 5-year written warranty.
When you book with New York Tubs, you aren't getting a random sub-contractor. You're getting a master refinisher with over a decade of experience.
For over a decade I've worked in tub refinishing, and I've personally refinished hundreds of tubs — every job done by me, start to finish. My reputation is built on durable, long-lasting results, a clean process with no solvent fumes, and full respect for your home.

| 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. |
The pour-on coating goes on several times thicker than a sprayed finish and bonds tight to cast iron and steel, so it stands up to daily use for 10 to 15 years — without the peeling and chipping that spray jobs are known for.
The cured surface is sealed and non-porous, which makes it easy to wipe clean and keeps mildew and hard-water stains from taking hold. We finish in white only — it suits standard tile and fixtures and keeps looking right over the years.
We strip the worn surface, fill the chips, cracks, and rust pits, then pour the coating over the whole tub so it self-levels into an even finish — no brush marks, no bare spots. The coating is solvent-free, so there’s almost no smell while it cures. By the next day it’s ready, and we leave the bathroom clean. We’ve refinished tubs across the New York area since 2013.
If your tub is in Westchester County, we come to it — from Yonkers and New Rochelle up to White Plains and Mount Kisco.
