NORWALK - Owner/Operated Bathtub Refinishing Servicing Fairfield County and surrounding areas. I Clean tubs too. Sometimes just a professional cleaning is all you need.
BBB. Rated A+ 0 complaints.
I take care of tubs for Norwalk housing.
Bender & Mr Shower door in Norwalk refer to me.
I do the work myself. I schedule just your refinishing for the day. Not rushing your tub to get to another or showing up late in day tired doing sloppy work.
In business since 2005 and specialize only in refinishing and/or cleaning tubs, slip resistant bottoms and chip repairs.
I use very good bonding agents with Florescent additive. I then turn lights off and shine black light on tub. This shows where I missed spots applying it. This is key because the bonding agent is what makes the topcoat stick. Missed areas can cause failures. Every single time no matter how careful I am, when I shine that black light it shows me where it needs more.
This black light also shows up little bits of dirt that could of ended up in the finish.

Free Slip Resistant bottom with paid refinishing of tub for Angie's List customers.
I also have slip resistant glue down mats for tubs that are fine with just a professional cleaning but may have issues on bottom of tub. Saving you $$.
I also do repairs around drains and chip repairs. It's not always necessary to refinish the tub. There's actually a lot of times where I'll strip off a DIY kit and address an issue such as mineral deposits or worn drain area leaving original porcelain when I can and for less money than a full refinish.
A lot of times people hire me to refinish the tub but by the time I'm done cleaning it they are happy with that. Of course this is if color of tub was not an issue.
Even with a full refinish it's still a lot less money than a plastic liner which can collect water between tub n liner which I hear costs approx $2000 for just the tub.
Am I the cheapest. No! Being a legit business, using good products, refinishing just your tub for the day does cost more than the low balling speedballs. I take on average 4 or 5 hour. I've heard guys talking how they are in n out in an hour. Even one guy saying 45 minutes.
I can only imagine the shortcuts that are being taken to be in n out in 45 minutes.
Sure you could hire someone for less but, do you want to deal with issues shortly down the road then trying to get this person back from out of state if he's even still in business.
I'm locally based out of Norwalk. I've lived here since 1964. Been refinishing since 2005. I worked corporate in IT for a multi-billion dollar corporation for 22 years prior to 2005. They relocated to Texas and we decided to stay here where our family is.
So I decided to go into business for myself and here I am.

Description of Work: Greg was on time and provided a thoughtful evaluation of the best method to refinish the tub. Since the tub was in good shape, Greg suggested a good cleaning and to apply a non skid finish to the inside of the tub to cover the imperfections that were visible on the floor of the tub. He also did some touch up along the edge of the tub where it met the wall and provided a sample of the "white" to use that closely matched my tub. |Greg worked efficiently with careful preparation of the area that included taping off the wall area to prevent any random spraying. |The tub looks great and it is hard to believe that it is 66 years old! | |Highly recommend Greg's service and workmanship. His objective is to provide excellent service to meet your needs. He is fair with his service and price and does excellent work. | |

This was one of those "why isn't everyone like this?" experiences. Gary answered my call right away, was very friendly and knowledgeable on the phone, and we set up an appointment for 3 days later. The information I received was thorough, and his website is even more thorough. He arrived promptly at 8:30am and went right to work. Everything was taped, covered, protected by plastic. I didn't see what he was doing, but I know that the tub (which was already clean) was scraped and cleaned immaculately. Every detail was addressed. Gary even took the time to discuss shades of white with me - in order to match the existing toilet and sink - which I really appreciated. The work was done by about noon and all the materials, including the plastic sheeting, were removed. The bathroom was as immaculate as before he arrived. The tub looked brand new - and the shade of white he had chosen was perfect. But Gary even went above and beyond the call of duty. In closing doors to protect rooms from the fumes (which are exhausted through an elaborate system, but some smell remains for awhile) I inadvertently locked the one to my office. Everything was in there: my car keys, pocketbook, cell phone, etc. Gary used his smart phone to find an emergency locksmith for me. And, because my husband was out of town, he also came back the next day to re-attach the overflow valve.
Description of Work: Reglazed a grey tub - white.

Gary is such a nice person and I felt comfortable with him from the moment he walked in the door. That was very important to me. He explained that the tub may need to be refinished sometime down the road but that he would professionally clean it and then we'd have a clearer picture of whether or not it would need to be refinished. I was so delighted with his beautiful cleaning job that we decided to stop right there. It was worth every penny. He also explained how to care for the tub. I highly recommend Gary and his work.
Description of Work: Gary professionally cleaned an old cast iron tub in my grandmother's home which was built in the 1940's.

After doing some research and finding the Bathtub Rx, LLC website (http://www.bathtubrx.com/), I sent an email and photo of my tub. Gary responded within an hour (especially amazing since my email was sent at 5:00 on a Friday evening). Our situation was pretty time sensitive since our tenant had just moved out (which is how we learned of the tub damage) and another tenant was scheduled to move in in less than 2 weeks. The next day, Gary confirmed that he could fit us in on Tuesday morning. He arrived exactly when he said he would, did the job quickly, and restored the tub so it looked better than we thought it possibly could. The process was extremely painless and significantly less expensive than other options we had explored. We would definitely use Gary again and will certainly recommend him to anyone we know looking for bathtub refinishing/restoring. He was wonderful!
Description of Work: The tub in our rental property was damaged such that the porcelain had been worn through near the drain and the area was heavily stained. Gary removed the stain and refinished the tub so it looked like new!

My Great grandmother moved from Brooklyn in May of 1923 and bought a very large house in Norwalk that had previously been owned by the Lockwood family of Lockwood Mansion fame. After my grandmother died in the 1970s it was managed by my step mother who had no idea what she was doing. Therefore it has been seriously neglected for the past forty years. I am trying to restore it to its past glory. I had just completed a total renovation of a one bedroom apartment in the Lockwood Family Carriage House. Everything came out beautifully except that the original bathtub looked like it had a skin disease. I had a new tenant moving in within a week or ten days and needed high quality help quickly. The phone of the tub refinishers listed on my stepmothers supplier list was disconnected and probably out of business. If they were the ones that previously refinished the tub then they did a poor job and were rightly out of business. Fortunately I found BathtubRX on Angieslist and called and spoke to Gary Mott on Monday 26 June. Gary came out within the hour and looked at the tub. He provided me with extensive information on all the options as well as what he thought was the most appropriate approach under the circumstances. Gary said he would come back on 2 August and do the work or sooner on Friday the 30th of June if possible. Nevertheless he actually stayed and spent three hours removing the old finish so that it was down to the original finish and looked almost new except the finish was a bit flat due to removal of the old finish. He said he would return on Friday if possible to restore/apply the finish gloss coats. As promised he appeared Friday morning and spent several hours restoring the finish cost and recaulked tub as well. Gary did an excellent job. It looks almost new even though it was installed in 1958 and there is no sign of the shoddy previous work that made it look embarrasingly hideous and unacceptable to any new tenant. If ever I need similar work done I will call BathrubRX. Gary was very up front on the problem, gave me all the information to make an intelligent decision. I followed his recommendation and it came out very well. Gary struck me as very forthright, and desirous of having the best outcome. Very high quality work on his part. He obviously takes pride in his work and having highly satisfied customers of which I am one.

I called and spoke to Gary the owner. I explained what I wanted done. He asked several questions and we talked price and then set a date. Gary arrived on time, got right to work and completed the job in the time frame that he had given me. I am very pleased with the job. There is a lot of information on his web site as well as his picture which I think is a good idea. You know what he looks like when he arrives.

Description of Work: I heard of this company through friends and wanted to try them for bathtub refinishing. Gary was very good about following up and adjusting to my schedule. Unfortunately at the last minute due to tenants wanting to move in sooner than expected, I had to cancel but I will use them as soon as I can due to their good reputation. They have a nice and informative website.
