Called to discuss and ultimately schedule the work and Jeff was very flexible with scheduling. He called the day before to confirm the appointment and called the morning of the job to advise he was stopping at the hardware store for supplies. When he arrived, he surveyed the situation, set up the exhaust fan, masked or draped everything and then got to work. He worked diligently throughout the morning - without any break - and updated us on his progress. When he finished - about 4 hours later - he was very proud of his work and gave us detailed instructions on the maintenance of the newly glazed tub. We are VERY pleased with the quality of the work performed and with the outcome. The tub truly looks brand new.

Arrived on time and completed the work in about 25 minutes. He was very professional and kind to my child. He left the area clean. He installed a non-skid surface last year that has lasted and been a pleasure.

Would not recommend this company. The owner is very argumentative.
Description of Work: Jeff did a nice job with our claw foot tub however...he taped visquine all around the tub with out taking into account he was attaching tape to wallpaper. He removed the tape and damaged all the walls which now I have to pay my installers to re-do. I did take a deduction from his initial bid of 365.00. This was only at my request as he stated he did not feel it was his responsability to cover damages. Please be cautious of this if you have wallcovering in your bathroom.He will also move furniture out of your bathroom...however don't expect him to put anything back in its original place.

Response from BATH CREST
I arrived at 8:56 and the appointment was for 9am, no one was home when I got there but the owners assistant arrived about 9:05. Yes the wallpaper was damaged and I did claim I couldn't be responsible for damaging it as I tried using special blue tape which is to release easy and not damage paint or wall coverings. I usually tell people of possible problems with wallpaper before we do the job, I know it was a concern before I started but, I honestly can't remember for sure if I did bring it up or not. I never said I wouldn't pay for the damages. The homeowner, not her assistant who has written this report, said she would deduct from payment the cost of replacing that wallpaper, to which I agreed. In 21 + years this is only the second time I can remember this has happening and the last time the lady said the wall paper was old. I did offer to have someone fix it but, she said it was time to replace it so I never paid anything on that one. As far as the furniture being moved out, it was to protect it from any overspray as it was in a direct line to the window we were ventelating from. It was a 4 or 5 shelf glass and steel shelving unit and just covering it up with a drop cloth most likely would not have worked because of its location. It was placed back in the bathroom, at my suggestion since it was heavy, when the job was done. The items that were on it weren't replaced because I didn't know where everything went and the assistant didn't ask that I help her bring everything back in. If she would have asked I would have done that too. We had done this tub previously several years back and when I arrived the tub had many chips in the surface, childrens toys laying in the tub and water standing which is not good for the surface of any bathtub, resurfaced or not. As far as being argumentative, I never raised my voice or lost my temper. I remained cool and listened to the owner. I was told that she would deduct money from the check, to which I offered a couple of free chip repairs instead, since I saw a pattern here but she declined that and I agreed that she could deduct what she felt was fair. In 2008 was the last time I tracked chip repairs on tubs we had done and it was 1 in 103 tubs done, accidents happen. I will say that I did expect this report and I wish I had listened to that little voice that told me to walk away from this one. I am sorry the customer has felt like the job was so poorly done to grade me F's in 2 of the 6 catagories. Hopefully I will learn from this experience and do better in the future.

The first coat for some reason bubbled the next day, in one damaged spot That seemed to completely surprise Jeff. But, he promptly came right back out, and completely redid the job, and it's been fine since. He's easy to work with, good at what he does, is cost conscious and tries to please.

Jeff Barrie arrived on time as scheduled. He evaluated the tub and said refinishing the bottom only would be the best solution since the tub wasn't that old. There was also a nick in the side that he could repair. That saved us almost $300. Jeff went right to work and completed the job with an hour or so. He left no mess and explained the care of the tub with the new surface. The tub looks much better now. I would recommend this company to anyone that needed this service.

Called Bath Crest several weeks in advance and set up an appointment time on 8/25 at 10 am. I took the day off work. When they didn't show up at 10am, I called them and they said we didn't have an appointment- even though we had discussed the date and time on the phone. They apologized and offered to schedule another time, but we needed to have this done before having overnight guests stay over the weekend. And, now I've lost a day of personal time from work. We'll be using another service provider in the future.

Response from BATH CREST
I spoke with the Member's wife and we tentativley scheduled for Wednesday the 25th but, she said she would call back the next day to confirm that after speaking with her husband according to my notes. I had noted this on the schedule and when she didn't call back I scheduled someone else in for that day a few days later. This is a case of broken communication between the customers and blaming me for their lack of communication and not following up on our conversation like she said she would is out of my control. In light of the fact that she didn't call back, I had no address for the home where the work was to be performed and when scheduling a firm date for a job I always ask for an address.

During the sale of our home, the buyers inspector had noted some cracks in the shower (fiberglass I believe) they wanted repaired. I saw on Angie's list Bathcrest had done similar work. Most other people we called said it couldn't be done or were unable to do the repairs. Bathcrest came out and repaired several large and small cracks in the shower stall. You cannot even tell there were even cracks there, and some went all the way through! They did an INCREDIBLE job and we were soooo pleased. It passed the second inspection!

Very pleased with job Bath Crest did. Originally left phone message at business number & Jeff returned phone call immediately. Answered a few questions over the phone with Jeff and he gave me the price and when he was available - which was almost immediately. He the showed up on time and was very professional the entire time. He even came back a day later to replace the bath drain. Overall very pleasant experience. Would definitely refer others to Bath Crest.

I received an estimate over the phone and the work was scheduled within a few days of my call. He arrive promtply, looked at the damage and confirmed the price he quoted over the phone. He took great care in preparing the tub before fixing the chips. I was curious about the process, so he explained the process and each step involved. After he completed the work he also gave me tips on products that help improve the life of tubs/finishes. He was very professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of service like this!

I contacted Jeff and explained that I wanted to get my tub refinished, and he gave me an estimate over the phone of approx $360, we scheduled a date for him to come do the work. He showed up exactly when he said he would, examined my tub, and told me he felt the bottom need recovered, but not the whole tub and explained why. The job ended up costing me $190 and I am very pleased with the work he did.

smooth, professional, most of this job managed by my contractor, with my choosing BathCrest as the subcontractor...but he reported that all was on time and professionally handled and in the promised amount of time...the results are certainly good, which is what I see and I had no days of inconvenience (it was handled while I was out of town for 2 days)

They did the bathtub and shower exchange in one day. We had to have the floor reinforced before we could tile it, but it didn't hold so we had to have it done over again. We love this guy, I had very little cleanup after he was done. He even put up a plastic shield and layed down plastic to keep the dust and whatnot out of the rest of the house.
