"All I wanted was a jetted tub (the same size or larger than what I had) and shower doors, That’s it! Regrettably, I went with Five Star Bath solutions of South Atlanta with Lavezza Zanders as my consultant and manager Monty Johnson. What I received was no shower doors at all, and an oval shaped tub that is narrower than the previous tub, this is obvious with even the naked eye. I did not request a particular shape, and I certainly did not request a smaller size. Who the heck would? There is no documentation that I agreed to the tub that was installed specifically, and the contract only states size to be determined at measure. Again, during consultation the same size tub or larger was agreed to. The company responded by telling me that this tub is actually larger than what I had before and to get the proper sized tub, I would have to pay an additional $3000 over the $7000 I had already agreed to pay, and that I had to sign a new contract. They also ordered the wrong size shower doors, so for that I have nothing but holes in my shower. Ultimately, I did not want to sign another contract; I should have been given the proper sizes to begin with. I was given a tub that is 39 inches at its widest point, but my space is over 48 inches. There was plenty of space to put a wider tub without major construction (walls did not need to be knocked down for a better width), this is obvious from the photos. My emphasis on this fell on deaf ears; Monty and Lavezza kept telling me to spend this additional $3000 to get the tub size that fills the width of my space. I then elicited the help of a friend who also has lifelong contracting experience. My concerns were not being addressed and unfortunately, I felt that having a man speak on my behalf would help. On 3 way was Monty, the contractor, and me. The truth came out at this point. First Monty admitted the obvious, the tub is more narrow and only deeper than the previous tub, not LARGER nor the same size! Monty also admitted with the contractor on the phone, that the size, model, and cost difference to get one tub vs another was never presented to me; I was just arbitrarily given a smaller tub! When I asked that they take the tub back and return my $2000 deposit, initially Monty agreed then he reneged. At the end of the conversation, Monty was on the phone cursing at me and the contractor. No one was cursing at him. I attempted to reach The Five Star Bath Remodel Cooperate offices multiple times and got no callbacks at all. For $2000 I got no shower doors and an uncomfortable creaking tub that I didn’t ask for. I want a full refund."

The cost to refinish a bathtub is $490 for most homeowners. However, this cost can range from $200 to $1,000 or more, depending on your tub's material and condition.
For example, enamel and cast-iron bathtubs are pretty straightforward to refinish, costing between $350 and $600. However, if you have an antique claw-foot tub, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for refinishing costs due to the care and complexity needed.
For a standard-sized bathtub with minor damage, it takes approximately 3 to 5 hours to refinish. It might take a bit longer if your bathtub refinishing contractor needs to fill in significant cracks or gouges. This is the same if you have a specialty tub, like an oversized bathtub—you can expect your pro to take a bit on the longer side.
If your bathtub is in overall good shape with minor scratches, discoloration, or just general wear and tear, it's best (and less expensive) to refinish it.
If your tub has large cracks, is leaking, or is otherwise severely damaged, we recommend replacing it with a new bathtub. Refinishing a bathtub can only fix superficial problems, so these issues will still be present or reappear after a refinishing.
There are a few signs, both obvious and not so obvious, that it's time to refinish your bathtub. While some of these signs aren't an urgent problem, others could lead to significant damage if left untreated. Signs you should look out for include:
Rust stains, which signal the tub's enamel or surface sealer is deteriorating
Small chips, which can grow into larger chunks and can lead to rusting
Discoloration, which doesn't lead to a more significant problem but can be unsightly
Dirty surfaces, which means that the tub glaze is breaking down and allowing dirt to seep below the coating
Refinishing a bathtub is worth it if your tub has minor damage or is a color that you don't like. The cost of replacing a bathtub is more expensive than simply refinishing one, averaging around $5,300. It's more cost-effective to refinish your tub if you can, but it also gives you the look of a new bathtub without having to replace the whole thing.
