Re-coating porcelain on cast iron tub

I have a cast iron tub and sink that I need to get re-porcelained. Please advise if you can do this type of work.

RFQ. I've heard that the best way to re-finish an antique cast-iron tub is to have the new finish baked on in an oven or furnace. But I am having a hard time finding a vendor that does this kind of work in NY/NJ. Can someone recommend a place that does this kind of work?
