We hired this company to refinish our old tub as part of a bathroom remodel. At first it looked fine, but just around a year the finish started peeling off the outside of the tub. The company insisted that it must have been our fault for using abrasive cleaners on the tub, which we did not, but did come back to refinish the outside. This spring, a little less than 2 years after the work was done, more of the finish is peeling, this time on the inside of the tub. They will not repair. I realize they have a 1-year warranty, but I would not have used this company had I realized I would now have to pay to have the tub refinished every 1-2 years because the finish doesn't last. There is no benefit to refinishing if it lasts less than 2 years.

Our #1 goal is to help save our valued Angie's List clients the high cost of replacement by repairing and restoring old worn and damaged fixtures for a very reasonable and economical price. Refinished bathtubs will last well with proper care and maintenance. Although the bathtub was damaged just following the end of the one year guarantee, we came back and performed the repair at no charge. Now a new area has become damaged and although the guarantee had expired a year ago, we offered to repair the damage at cost only- as a good will gesture. We are proud of our work and appreciate our Angie's List customers. Our work is highly praised as may be seen by our many exemplary reviews. We appreciate your comments and again apologize that we could not meet your expectations. Thank you Cory Tatz Owner

It didn't go well... Details are provided above.
Description of Work: We hired Cory Tatz to refinish a strip in our shower/bath that was damaged due to removal of a shower door. The first time they came out we called them back because after several days of it "setting" there were noticeable brush strokes and the whole area was lumpy. When they came back a second time, all that was done was sanding to get some of the brush strokes and lumps out. This left our only shower/bath looking dull and didnt solve the issue at all. Brush strokes and lumps are still noticeable. We have had overnight guests that have even commented on the way it looks, asking what happened. We are noticing now that parts are discolored yellow (not parts even touched by water). We really wanted to give them a good review because they were nice throughout this process, but the quality of the work was just not there.

Our #1 goal is to help save our valued Angie's List clients the high cost of replacement by repairing and restoring old worn and damaged fixtures for a very reasonable and economical price. We understand your concern and am sorry you were not 100% satisfied. We were upfront with the disclosure that the tub was severely damaged by whomever removed the shower door and the cosmetic localized repair you requested could only be completed 'best as possible'. Because of this we agreed to only charge for our minimum field service repair of $135 not the $185 as was noted incorrectly in the review. As seen by our many of exemplary reviews our work is highly praised. We appreciate your comments and again apologize that we could not meet your expectations. Thank you Cory Tatz Owner

The company representative was on time and ensured all areas not to be resurfaced were covered and taped off. After careful prep work, the tub was ready for "paint." When finished, it looked brand new, which is saying something because there was extensive chipping and pealing to the existing bathtub. The entire process took about 3 hours and the odor was strong for 8-10 hours, which can be expected. We were instructed to stay clear of the bathroom, allowing the product to cure, for 24 hours. Excellent look.

The finisher called to see if he could come a half hour earlier than scheduled because he was outside waiting at 7:30 am. Great, I said! The job went smoothly and the prep work was done very carefully with no effort spared to do a good job. the job was done within an hour and a half and everything went well. when I had a question about a spot on the finish the e-mail response was very prompt and attentive to my question. It proved to be a non-issue. For the cost and ease with which this whole process went I would definitely recommend this company.

Great. He came on time, worked quickly, and left a beautiful product. Before it was dry someone came in and put something on the still wet finish and messed up a corner. My friend called the company and they came out and touched it up for free. I really recommend them.

I chose Cory Tatz after speaking with two other bathtub refinishers. Cory struck me as very knowledgeable and extremely honest. The other two told me what I wanted to hear. Cory told me what was possible and what was not. Manuel, the technician, showed up before the scheduled start time, and did an outstanding job. He was diligent in the masking process as there were a lot of nooks and crannies he had to mask around. I would recommend this company to everyone. Their prices are competitive and they are a pleasure to deal with.

They were punctual, pleasant, and very polite. It took 3 visits to get it right, removing the enamal left on the stopper rim on both sinks and smoothing out the orange peel surface left after the resurfacing. I thought all was ok when they left my house. Unfortunately, I didn't see a small black spot that was missed on the tub that was resurfaced until my realtor pointed out to me. I didn't want to call them out fourth time, I was able to apply enamall on the spot myself.

Response from CORY TATZ BATHTUBS & SINKS REFINISHING
We are very proud of our finished products and would be glad to come out and repair the small black spot. Although the 3 visits is true, you were not sure about doing the second sink in the bathroom and had us return for a second trip the next day. We still discounted the sink at the price that we would have done it the first visit. We returned for a third trip due to other workmen that were working the day the work was done and created dust that damaged the sinks as they were drying. When we left, you had remarked how beautiful the work looked and how much you appreciated the hard work. We hope that we may again be of service in the future.

We are renovating our condo for rental and the enamel in the sink in our kitchen was really worn. We didn't really want to put in a new one, because the counter top was in really good condition, so I called a couple companies that do refinish work. Another company was less expensive, but they told me, we would need to remove the garbage disposal and faucet prior to doing the refinishing. When I talked to Cory Tatz, he said that he has been doing this for 30 years and I didn't need to remove anything as they would mask it all off. His cost was just $5 more than the other company and required less work on our end. Cory told me that the job would take about an hour to do and then would need to cure for 2 days. I made the appointment for Friday, and they were here right on time at 8:00 am finished by 9:05 am. The sink looked really good. On that Sunday I removed the masking off the faucet. The sink looks just like new and we didn't have to remove anything nor tear out tiling for a new sink. Did a great job, protected all the area around the sink including the floor, cleaned up when complete. Very professional

See above. Tech arrived on time, left no mess, was professional.
Description of Work: repaired a crack in the porcelain of a bathroom sink. Final result was invisible except for a very slight "orange peel" effect that most people would not notice. Sink was unusable for 48 hours to allow coating to cure, which was perfectly acceptable given the final results.

The glazer was prompt and professional. He didn't waste any time, he explained every step and did a very good job. The only thing I realized later is that I hadn't asked if the chipped areas could be leveled with the sink surface before the glazing. In certain light the old chipped areas show depressions in the overall surface. I don't think anyone notices it unless I point it out. I would used them again.

I have used this contractor many times over the past 10 years. During most of those years this company has completed work of very good quality; I have been completely satisfied with the results. However, the two most recent bathtub refinishes that they completed were of average quality. Because I am a landlord I almost always have an apartment 'updated' in a one-week turnaround period. That means that when I need a bathtub to be refinished the work must be done right the first time---I don't have time to have a job redone. [The process that they use involves sanding down the old surface and then applying a coat of finishing liquid (epoxy?) over the old surface]. At a minimum, I want the finishing liquid to cure for 72 hours---that ensures that it will last a long time, and it allows sufficient time for the finishing liquid's odor to be eliminated]. New tenants who are moving into an apartment do not want to be told that they can't use the bathtub for a few days. When they move-in they expect (and rightfully so) the apartment to be completely ready for occupancy. In his defense, Cory Tatz offered to come out to see the quality of the workmanship and to make repairs if, in his opinion, they were needed. Unfortunately, by the time he called to arrange to see the quality of the work, the new tenants had moved in and did not want to have their use of the bathtub disrupted. I've been told that the bathtub refinish only requires 24 hours to cure, but I believe a 72 hour curing period is necessary in order for the finish to last a long time. The problem: there were thick runs of the refinishing liquid that, when the work was done, had hardened onto the refinished surface of the tubs.

Called to get an estimate ($125-185) and schedule a time for the work to be done. Called on a Friday and the work began and was finished on the following Monday. He arrived on time as scheduled. When the work was completed the final ok came from my wife. She said she didn't think it could turn out looking as good as it did.
Description of Work: There was a hairline crack in the bottom of the shower. He drilled a hole by the crack and filled in with foam then he put a patch on the crack. It took about 2 hours for the job to be completed but when he was done it looked great.

It Started to crack a few months later, and then just slowly the whole tub finish has disentigrated. It's peeling all away. Since I waited (procrastination)and the year warranty expired, I need to pay an $80.00 fee for resurfacing. Not sure if that will do the trick though? Maybe it's strike 3. It really is inconvenient since I totally remodelled the bathroom and will have to disengage the tub etc. Not happy! They've been decent about it communicating yet I need good results.
