Why NYC Homeowners, Landlords, and Sellers Choose Reglazing
New York renovations come with co-op boards, pre-war buildings, walk-up staircases, permit offices, and rent clocks running by the day. Reglazing was built for exactly this city.
No co-op board approval.
No permits. No demolition.
Reglazing involves no structural work or plumbing changes, so none of NYC's usual replacement headaches apply. Book a date, show up, done.
Pre-war buildings are not a problem.
Cast-iron tubs on the fifth floor of a Park Slope walk-up. Narrow doorways in 1920s Harlem buildings. Nothing leaves the building, so none of it changes the price.
Landlords get their unit back in 48 hours.
A replacement on an occupied rental costs $800 to $2,400 in vacancy losses on top of the job itself. Reglazing turns a unit over the next day.
Sellers get listing-ready in an afternoon.
$350 in reglazing can shift buyer perception of an entire bathroom and remove a line item from every lowball offer.

FAQs
Standard residential bathtub reglazing starts at $350. For an extra $150, we offer a premium finish package where we return the next day to buff the tub, apply an extra shine coat, install a customized non-skid base, remove all tape and paper, and clean off any imperfections. Most standard jobs average around $425 all-in. Severely damaged tubs (holes, deep breaks, structural damage) require a custom quote, which we provide after you send us photos through our form.
Severely damaged tubs do not fall under our $350 standard pricing. Send us photos through the quote form below and we will review the tub and send back a custom price. Most damage we can repair as part of the reglaze. Some cases may require additional work, but we will tell you that upfront.
The premium package adds a next-day return visit. We buff the surface, apply an extra shine coat for a deeper finish, install a customized non-skid base for safety, remove all the tape and paper from the original job, and do a final cleanup of any imperfections.
Yes, by thousands of dollars. The average reglazing job in NYC costs $425. The average bathtub replacement starts at $2,000 and sometimes climbs to $4,000 to $7,000 once you factor in NYC plumber rates, permits, tile surround repair, debris removal, and building access charges. Reglazing involves none of those costs.
10 to 15 years with proper care. Use non-abrasive cleaners and a soft sponge. Avoid bleach, ammonia, and abrasive pads.
3 to 5 hours on site. Ready for light use in 24 hours and fully cured at 48 hours. If you add the premium package, we return briefly the next day for the buff, shine coat, and finishing work.
