Fiberglass Tub Refinishing in New York City
Fiberglass tubs are great when they are new. But after a few years in a NYC apartment, they start to look dull. They turn a gross yellow color, getting scratched and chalky so dirt sticks to them. Fiberglass Tub Refinishing restores the shine and color without replacing the tub. At Advanced Reglazing, we specialize in making plastic look like porcelain. We take your tired, scratched-up fiberglass or acrylic tub and apply a hard, high-gloss shell. It covers the yellowing instantly. It makes the surface smooth and non-porous again, so it is easy to wipe down.
The Advanced Reglazing Difference:
Fast work with light use in a few days.
Low dust with tight masking and venting.
Co-op, condo & Tenant friendly, fully insured.

Why Choose Fiberglass Refinishing?
Modern tubs don't fit the exact footprint of older fiberglass units and leave gaps, one-piece tub and shower units won't fit through standard bathroom doors so you can't get new ones in without tearing down walls, and demolition plus disposal, new tub, plumbing, and wall repair adds up to a lot. Fiberglass tub refinishing solves the problem in one 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 Do It
Refinishing fiberglass is different than cast iron. We use a specific process for plastic.
Deep Clean
We strip off all the soap scum, body oils, and old caulk.
Sanding
We sand the entire surface. This removes the "chalky" layer and scratches.
Repair & Bonding
If there are deep gouges or cigarette burns, we fill them. We apply a bonding agent designed specifically for fiberglass.
Spray Finish
We spray the top coat. It bonds chemically to the tub.
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Whether you’re transforming a bathroom’s outdated color scheme or looking to refurbish a tattered tub, we can restore any surface to pristine condition.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
No. Fiberglass is actually the best surface for refinishing because the chemical bond is very strong. It becomes part of the tub.
Yes. If you have a 1980s blue or brown tub, we can make it bright white. It covers perfectly.
Use a soft sponge and mild soap (like Dawn or simple green). Do not use abrasive scouring pads or bleach.
We fix small surface cracks during refinishing. If you have a structural crack (leaking water), we need to do a structural repair first.
