I hired Duraglaze to reglaze 4 tubs in two properties in 2006. So far, two of the four tubs require reglazing. The warranty is for 5 years. Duraglaze claims that since we did not notify them immediately that the tub requires another reglazing they did not honor the warranty. This is not specifically stated in the warranty so the warranty is worthless. We tried to communicate the problem with them but they ignored our request for warranty work and just claimed that we called them too late. They would not even meet us halfway and tried to charge us a late fee on payment on work that should have cost us nothing. Even though the tub was under warranty they required that we pay full price for another reglazing. I would avoid this company at all costs since their quality of work is horrible and mislead you with a warranty unless you want to pay for one job twice!!

Response from DURAGLAZE PORCELAIN REFINISHING
This member was not the customer that ordered this service. It was ordered through a management company representative. No contact was made with this customer what so ever regarding the repair work. We honor our warranties 100%. It is clearly stated in our warranty that water damage is not covered. This is not to say we haven't repaired this kind of damage for just a travel charge because we have. This bath tub they were charged for had been peeling from water damage that was neglected to be taken care of. The extent of the damage showed it had been peeling for quite some time. If this was taken care of in "a timely manner", their would not have been a full charge. The agent was informed of the charges and ok'd the work. We never ignored their request for warranty work. If we did, we would never had been back to do the job as it was done. As for their claim that 2 out of 4 tubs had to be repaired, we show no record of this either. We did charge a late charge because this job was not paid for for over 60 days.I feel this report is unfair and unjustified. I have contacted the management office more then a few times regarding this matter because the members were listed as tenants.

Ok. It was done in a reasonably quick, neat fashion. A couple of days later we noticed black flecks in the tub and called; they came back and touched it up saying that was normal (dust had settled). We are very happy with the work.

The arrival time was supposed to be between 9 am-10 am and he didn't get to our house until 11:15 am. He didn't make any apologies for being late. I was dissatisfied with their customer service, but they did a nice job and he taped up the tub. However, he didn't come back to replace the drain cap on or remove the paper. When I called and spoke to Gale, she said a return visit wasn't included in the price. The work was done on April 18 and they told me I have a 5 warranty, but I haven't received any paperwork in the mail.

WE REGRET THE POOR REVIEW, BUT IN OUR DEFENSE I DID MAKE CONTACT WITH THE MEMBER THAT MORNING APOLOGIZING AND EXPLAINING WHY MIKE WAS LATE. IT ALSO TOOK LONGER THAN EXPECTED BECAUSE HE HAD TO USE THE DAN RYAN EXPRESSWAY DURING CONSTRUCTION TO GET TO 105TH ST. OUR INITIAL CONVERSATION WAS BETWEEN THE MEMBER AND MYSELF. I EXPLAINED WHAT THE PRICE INCLUDED AND WHAT WAS NOT INCLUDED (RE-CAULKING AND PAPER REMOVAL) AS I DO WITH EVERY QUOTE. THE JOB ORDER WAS PLACED BY HER AT THAT TIME. HE CALLED BACK REGARDING THE MATTER OF THE PAPER. HE DID NOT BELIEVE THAT I HAD TOLD EVERYTHING I HAD TO HER. THE DRAIN CAP WAS NOT REMOVED BUT I BELIEVE THEY MEANT THE OVERFLOW CAP WHICH WAS REMOVED. I EXPLAINED THAT ALL THAT WAS NEEDED TO PUT IT BACK ON WAS A SCREW DRIVER. AS FAR AS HIS WARRANTY PAPER WORK, HE WAS GIVEN A TEMPORARY RECEIPT WITH AN EXPLANATION THAT OUR PAPERWORK WAS NOT BACK FROM THE PRINTERS YET. THE NEW RECEIPT, WITH WARRANTY INFORMATION, HAS BEEN SENT TO A DIFFERENT ADDRESS AS REQUESTED, NOT THE JOB ADDRESS. NO OTHER CALL HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM THE MEMBER REGARDING THIS MATTER. WE TRY TO DO OUR BEST IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR BUSINESS. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THIS BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THE MEMBERS.

The representative who took order by phone was extremely pleasant and made sure we had an estimator at our home that same evening. The work was begun the next day and on time and they returned to correct some minor deficiencies.

We had gotten bids on removing our only bathtub and installing a new one. We were having house-guest for 3 weeks and I wanted to do something quickly. I had to talk my husband into re-glazing instead of replacing and he is amazed at the difference. From my first contact with the company, they were very professional and seemed to take pride in their work. I found out later that it is a family owned business. Mark was a little late but called as it is confusing to locate our house. He covered everything in the bathroom and worked from the minute he arrived until leaving. The tub is beautiful! It was money well spent 10 times over. Mark also gave us advice on which product to use for the caulking and for cleaning. We have recommended this company to our friends.

I was extremely satisfied with Mike's work. It was very comfortable to be in the house, while he was working. He was efficient, polite, and highly skilled. I will call on Duraglaze again in the future because the tub looks great.
Description of Work: Mike stripped and refinished a bathtub in an apartment, I will be renting. He also looked at a tub that we considered refinishing and gave his opinion about the need for reglazing. He was able to determine, that one tub did not in fact need to be refinished, but was willing to perform the work, that day if I wanted it done. The tub that he did reglaze had been refinished twice, before which required additional time and effort to strip two layers of glaze. He charged us what the original quote was even though, I expected to pay more.

Mike did an excellent job reglazing the tub. It looks brand new! He made sure everything was clean and no glaze/paint landed on anything other than the tub. There was a charge that I didn't expect. I was quoted $285 for the job, but Mike said it was an additional $65 to strip the old glaze from the tub. The company should have explained that this charge was a possibility.

Tech. came out (I believe his name was Mike) to strip and re-glaze an old cast iron tub. Not only did he do an excellent job, he also informed us of some problems he discovered with the tub's drain. Another tech, Wayne, came out a week later to sand out some of the grittiness on the tub. He noted the tub wasn't caulked and that my husband still hadn't replaced the drain cover. Not only did he caulk the entire tub, he fixed the drain cover - and didn't charge us a penny. This company is very professional and takes the time to make sure the job performed will last.

They did a very nice job re-glazing the tub, and they did the job on quick notice. The area was well covered in tape and craft paper, and there was no damage to the surrounding area. After glazing, they came back to buff away some of the grittiness.

THE WORKER ARRIVED ON TIME AND TOOK EXCELLENT CARE OF MY BATHROOM. SINCE HE SPRAYED THE ENAMEL FINISH ON THE TUB, HE COVERED PRACTICALLY EVERY OTHER INCH OF MY BATH IN CRAFT PAPER AND TAPE, SO EVERYTHING WAS PROTECTED. THE 1921 TUB LOOKS NEW, AND I CAN TELL HE DID A MUCH BETTER JOB THAN THE REFINISHER I USED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. GOOD CLEAN UP, TOO.

GAIL ANSWERED THE PHONE AND WAS PLEASANT. SHE EXPLAINED WHAT REGLAZING THE TUB WOULD ENTAIL AND HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE. MIKE SHOWED UP WITHIN THE SCHEDULED TIME RANGE. REGLAZING TOOK ABOUT 4 HOURS. AFTER WAITING 2 DAYS FOR THE TUB TO DRY, I FOUND THAT THE TUB SURFACE WAS GRITTY, NOT SMOOTH. I CALLED GAIL, WHO SENT SOMEONE OUT A FEW DAYS LATER TO WET SAND THE TUB. NOW IT'S FINE. I'D REHIRE THIS COMPANY, BUT WOULD TRY ANOTHER COMPANY FIRST, AS HAVING THE GRITTY FINISH REPAIRED REQUIRED ME TO TAKE ADDITIONAL TIME OFF WORK.
