Cast iron tubs are prized for their weight, warmth and near-indestructible construction — the kind of fixture that outlives the bathroom around it. The catch is that the porcelain enamel coating wears long before the iron does, leaving stains, chips and a rough surface on an otherwise perfect tub. Rather than hauling out hundreds of pounds of iron, our bathtub reglazing gives that solid old tub a completely new life.

With professional bathtub refinishing we repair the damaged enamel, seal chips and apply a fresh, glossy coating bonded to the original surface. Our porcelain reglazing is ideal for these classic pieces, restoring the deep shine without disturbing the plumbing or the walls.

When you want the perfect alternative, our reglazing in Staten Island brings your cast iron tub back to like-new condition for a fraction of the price.
