Here at WhiteTubs, we’ve been in business since 2007 serving Chicago and the state of Illinois.
We specialize in refinishing bathtubs with liquid acrylic using the pour-on application method.
Brand-new tubs have a snow-white, glossy finish that makes bathing a luxurious experience. But over time, that beautiful finish starts to lose its luster. Hard water, rust, lime scale and daily wear and tear take their toll, and no amount of cleaning or scrubbing can remove fading and stains.
Even worse, cracks, chips and peeling may appear. At this point you might feel that the surface is so damaged that the only option is to tear out the whole tub and replace it with a new one. That involves considerable time and expense, not to mention the inconvenience and mess that inevitably come with a renovation project.
But there’s a better alternative. The WhiteTubs craftsmen use the pour-on application method to restore your stained, damaged or worn-out tub. They have the knowledge and experience to repair even the most badly damaged tubs and return the enamel to its original, radiant brilliance.
The Pour-On Application of bathtub reglazing coats the surface of your bathtub, sink or shower with a strong, resilient acrylic finish without bubbles, ridges or bare spots.
Since the bathtub does not have to be removed, there is no damage to adjacent walls and floors. The job can be done in a short amount of time with minimal inconvenience, and your beautifully-finished bathtub will be ready to use in about 24 hours.

There are a number of refinishing materials available in the U.S. that are of good quality, but our specialists have the experience to know which ones work best and give the best outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bathtub refinishing?
Bathtub refinishing (also referred to as bathtub resurfacing or reglazing) restores the surface of the tub to make it look brand new. This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to fix damage, to change the color, or simply to give the bathtub a fresh, modern look.
The procedure entails several steps: removing the old enamel, fixing any damage, sanding the surface, cleaning and degreasing, and applying the reglazing material. The liquid acrylic is much deeper than just a surface coating; it’s a durable, long-lasting material that restores the original shine and smooth finish to your bathtub.
How long does the job take?
We try to schedule jobs as soon as possible after the customer makes the request, but we usually recommend contacting us 1-2 days in advance due to our workload.
Once our technician arrives, the entire process of preparing and reglazing the bathtub is quick and convenient, normally taking around 3-4 hours, depending on the complexity of the work.
The time required for complete drying and hardening of the material is about 24 hours. During the work and subsequent hardening time, there is no odor. The material is safe for you, your family, and your pets.
Is there a guarantee for work?
We are proud to stand behind our work with a guarantee of 5 years. However, the professionally reglazed finish should last even longer; the manufacturer states that the finish can last 7 to 15 years with proper maintenance.
MORE ABOUT THE POUR-ON METHOD USING LIQUID ACRYLIC
Reglazing your bathtub is an excellent solution for transforming the look of your entire bathroom. It provides professional results while saving time and money.
Liquid acrylic is the most popular refinishing choice among property owners and professionals alike because of its many advantages.
All types of tubs can be refinished using liquid acrylic, regardless of the material they are made from. It is especially practical for tubs that are an unusual shape or size, since they don’t have to be removed and replaced.
Refinishing can repair deep cracks, chips and peeling, as well as stains, discoloration, fading and hard-to-remove dirt and grime. The finished coating is smooth and easy to keep clean. Unlike spray-on enamel that typically lasts about a year, professionally applied liquid acrylic can last for 10-15 years with proper maintenancec.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF REGLAZING WITH LIQUID ACRYLIC?
-
AFFORDABILITY
Restoring your bathtub instead of removing and replacing it provides substantial savings. Besides the cost of the new tub, when you factor in labor costs for disconnecting the plumbing, removing the old fixture and installing the new one, reglazing costs several times less. The savings are even more significant when you take into account that the life of the reglazed surface is up to 15 years.
-
SPEED
One of the best advantages of reglazing is the time it saves. Busy people don’t have time to wait for days – or even weeks – while their bathtub is being removed and replaced (or doing it themselves). Refinishing with liquid acrylic takes only about 3-4 hours, and the surface is dry and ready to use in just 24 hours. There’s no long, drawn-out construction project with the associated mess.
-
DURABILITY
The strong, resilient reglazed surface is resistant to chipping, cracking and peeling, even from impacts from dropped objects. It can last for 10-15 years and keep its pristine appearance with proper care and maintenance.
-
AESTHETICS
The clean, sleek white finish on your refinished bathtub transforms and updates the look of your entire bathroom. The liquid acrylic can also be tinted with a wide range of pigments to make a fashion statement, anything from bold and bright to calm and relaxing.
-
HYGIENE AND SAFETY
Bacteria and fungus do not live on the surface of acrylic, so you avoid harmful microorganisms. There’s no need for harsh chemicals and disinfectants.
In addition, liquid acrylic is eco-friendly with a near-zero VOC status. It’s non-toxic and odorless, both during the application process and after, so it’s safe for your family and for the environment.
Reviews
Andrea LupoPrompt, and beautiful job. No mess.
Ann MMy tub was peeling and had unsightly rubber flowers on it meant to prevent slippage. New York Tubs fixed it for me, at what I thought was a fair price, and now you’d never know how bad it looked. All good!
Michael MayersArtem was very friendly and worked quick and diligently. My bathtub now looks so clean and pristine. I am very happy with how it turned out. Glad I found him.
SUZETTEgreat job clean up was suprising
N SArtem did a phenomenal job on my tub! My tub was probably one of the worst he’s ever seen and had about 60 years of damage and terrible repairs. He went above and beyond with his work! We are renovating our terribly old bathroom and we came across some unrelated plumbing issues, and he generously offered to come back the next day to complete the job! I couldn’t recommend him enough, he was absolutely terrific!
Joseph PezzollaI've had a few bathtubs refinished, this is by far the best. The technician was a gentleman who arrived on time and worked in a professional manner. I would recommend this company to my friends and would obviously hire them again.
Reuben B.Artem was on time, courteous, and very clean. What impressed me most was his attention detail as far as craft and that the product did not smell of terrible chemicals. The bathtub looks so good that I’m going to call him again for another tub in my building. A very trustworthy company.
Dori CarlsonBeautiful results and totally painless: punctual, reliable, no smell, good price.
