Why bathtub reglazing makes sense in NYC
Replacing a tub in a NYC apartment is rarely just a tub job. The old cast iron tubs in pre-war buildings weigh 300 to 500 pounds and have to be broken into pieces with a sledgehammer to get out of the bathroom. Touching the drain or supply lines often turns into emergency plumbing repairs because the valves in old buildings rarely survive being moved. Then comes the tile damage, the new tub, the plumber bill, the disposal fee, and a week without a working bathroom. Reglazing skips every single one of those problems and gives you a tub that looks new in a few hours.
Built for daily NYC use
DIY paint kits from the hardware store peel and chip within months. Our industrial coating bonds chemically to the tub and stands up to daily showers, hot water, and shampoo bottles.
Works on the tub you have
Cast iron tub from a 1920s pre-war building, porcelain in a Bay Ridge two-family, fiberglass in a newer LIC condo, acrylic in a Bronx rental. We have a process for each one.
Color change included
Pink, blue, almond, harvest gold, avocado green. We see them every week. Bright white, soft white, or any custom color you want, included in the price.
In and out in one day
We are usually done in three to four hours. You can use the tub the next day.

Why Go the Reglazing Route?
It saves you money
A full tub replacement or tile demo job runs into the thousands. Reglazing gives you the same fresh look for a fraction of the price. In New York City, that difference is real money.
It saves you time
Removing and replacing household fixtures takes weeks. With Advanced Reglazing, you keep the plumbing in place, avoid disturbing your neighbors, and have a usable bathroom again the next day.
It saves you stress
No demolition, no dust, no disruption to your neighbors. We mask the room, vent it properly, do the work, and leave it clean. In buildings with strict rules about contractor work, that matters.
How we reglaze your bathtub
It's a professional chemical bonding process.
Seal the bathroom
We mask the walls, floor, and fixtures with plastic and tape, then set up an exhaust fan to vent the work area through the window. Your apartment stays clean.
Clean and etch
We strip off soap scum, body oil, and old caulk, then chemically etch the surface so the new coating bonds permanently.
Repair every flaw
Chips, cracks, scratches, rust around the drain. We fill all of it with industrial-strength filler and sand it flush. A smooth base is the difference between a real reglaze and a paint job.
Prime, spray, and re-caulk
We spray a bonding primer, then the top coat in your chosen gloss or matte finish. Once it cures, we pull the masking, lay fresh caulk around the tub, and clean up. The tub looks factory new.
To reglaze or replace? The verdict is clear.
Whether you’re transforming a bathroom’s outdated color scheme or looking to refurbish a tattered tub, we can restore any surface to pristine condition.

FAQs
Yes. Reglazing, refinishing, and resurfacing all describe the same process: applying a new bonded surface coating over your existing tub. Different companies use different words. The work is the same.
With normal care and the right cleaning products, the finish holds up for many years. The biggest thing that shortens its life is using abrasive cleaners like Comet, Ajax, or steel wool. Use a soft sponge and a non-abrasive cleaner and the finish stays sharp.
Yes, there is a chemical smell while we spray. We use industrial fans to vent it out the window so the rest of your apartment stays clear. The smell drops off quickly once we wrap up, and is fully gone by the next day.
Yes. Most New Yorkers go with high-gloss white because it brightens up a small bathroom and looks like fresh porcelain. Matte is a good pick if you have a more modern bathroom and want a softer look. Tell us which one when you book.
