Bathtub Repair in New York City

A damaged bathtub is stressful. Maybe you dropped a heavy bottle and chipped the enamel, or maybe there is a crack in the fiberglass floor that feels soft when you step on it.

Why Choose Professional Bathtub Repair?

Replacing a tub because of a chip is a waste of money. A replacement runs into the thousands while a repair costs a small fraction. Removing a tub means dust, noise, and weeks of construction while we are done in about an hour. And your old cast iron tub is better quality than the new plastic ones. Bathtub repair is the common-sense fix.

Color Matching

Tubs come in a hundred shades of white. DIY kits stick out like a sore thumb. We mix our color on-site to match your specific tub.

Structural Strength

For cracks, we use industrial fillers and fiberglass mesh. It makes the repair stronger than the original tub.

Smooth Finish

We sand and buff the repair so you can't feel it when you sit down.

Long-Lasting

Our repairs are designed to handle hot water and daily scrubbing.

How We Fix It

We treat every repair like surgery for your bathroom.

Contact
01

Clean the Area

We remove soap scum, rust, and loose paint. The area must be bone dry.

02

Prep

We sand the damaged spot to create a rough surface for the filler to grab.

03

Fill & Reinforce

We fill the chip or crack with a waterproof, high-strength compound. If it's a structural crack, we reinforce it.

04

Sand, Blend & Color

We sand the filler until it is perfectly flush with the tub surface. Then we spray the repaired area with a color-matched top coat and blend the edges so it disappears.

FAQs

Can you fix a hole all the way through?

Yes. We use a fiberglass patch and structural filler to bridge the hole. It becomes watertight and solid.

Will I see the patch?

We are very good at color matching, but because old tubs fade differently, a spot repair might be slightly visible in certain lighting. It will be smooth and clean, though.

How long does it take?

Most repairs take about 60 to 90 minutes.

Can you fix rust around the drain?

Yes. This is very common. We grind out the rust, treat the metal, rebuild the lip with filler, and resurface it.
