Porcelain Tub Refinishing New York City – Restore The Shine
If you live in an older building in New York City, you probably have a porcelain bathtub. These tubs are built like tanks—heavy, solid, and deep. But over time, the porcelain wears down. It gets dull, rough like sandpaper, or stained with rust. Porcelain Tub Refinishing brings it back to life without removing it. At Advanced Reglazing, we know that these old tubs are better quality than anything you can buy today. You don't want to replace them; you just want them to look new again. We apply a brilliant, high-gloss finish right over the old porcelain. It restores the smooth feel and makes it easy to clean again.
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 Porcelain Refinishing?
Old porcelain tubs are incredibly heavy making them dangerous to move down stairs, breaking out a tub fills your apartment with iron dust and debris, and new cheap tubs feel flimsy while your old tub is solid increasing home value. Porcelain Tub Refinishing preserves the quality while fixing the look.
Impossible to Move
Removing a porcelain tub usually requires breaking it into pieces with a sledgehammer. It is loud and messy.
Easy Cleaning
When porcelain gets old, it gets porous. Dirt sticks to it. Our new finish is sealed and non-porous. Dirt wipes right off.
Bright White
We can cover up years of stains and discoloration.
Fast
We are done in about 4 hours. You can use the tub the next day.
Why Go the Reglazing Route?

It saves you time

It saves you stress
Don’t worry about toxic fumes or dirty, dusty demolition. Unlike many competitors, our experts specialize in eco-friendly methods, so the planet is safe and people are never displaced.
How We Do It
Refinishing porcelain requires a specific process to ensure the bond is strong.
Deep Clean
We strip off old caulk, soap scum, and limescale.
Acid Etch
We use a specialized acid solution to "etch" the old porcelain. This creates a microscopic texture for the new coating to grip.
Repair
We fill any deep chips or rust spots with waterproof filler.
Prime & Spray
We spray a bonding primer followed by the high-gloss top coat. The result is a deep, shiny finish that looks like factory-new porcelain.
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Whether you’re transforming a bathroom’s outdated color scheme or looking to refurbish a tattered tub, we can restore any surface to pristine condition.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
Over time, harsh cleaners wear away the smooth top layer of the porcelain, exposing the rough material underneath. Refinishing puts a new smooth layer on top.
If you treat it gently (no abrasive scrubbers!), it lasts 10 to 15 years.
