He arrived exactly on time, clean-cut, personable, very experienced and professional. He worked non-stop, had everything in order. Everything he did was perfection (the painting, re-grouting, etc.). He was a breath of fresh air.
Description of Work: The bathtub was a mess - hard water ruined the finish completely. The wear was especially noticeable because the color of the tub was a sienna brown.

They have the process down. The phone estimate was accurate. Andy arrived on time and took as long as he said it would take. He was very professional and left virtually no mess. (How often does that ever happen?) We left for the weekend so there was no problem letting the new surface cure for 48 hours. I recommend Porcelite to anyone and would use them again. My husband and I are never going to live with a dingy tub ever again.
Description of Work: Andy completely refinished our grungy old bathtub. It had been so bad that we could no longer clean it. It looks so terrific that we think we need to replace our bath tile.

Andy was very professional and did a great job! He was running late, and called me twice to apologize and to let me know when he would arrive. While he was here, he was very neat, professional and had me check in on him as he was working to show me how the process worked. He made sure all surfaces were protected, worked very cleanly, and cleaned up very well after he was done. He explained how to care for the new surface in detail and said to be sure to call if we had questions or issues at all. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Although it just finished curing and we haven't used the tub yet, it looks fantastic...like a brand-new tub; a night-and-day improvement over its previous condition. Andy was polite, punctual, and informative on the restoration process and maintenance of the tub. He also did a nice with caulking around the tub and tile after he completed the refinishing process. We highly recommend Porcelite without reservation.
Description of Work: We had our bathtub, which is the original cast-iron tub to our 1926 house, reglazed. Porcelite (Andy) stripped it and reglazed it to match our newer sink and toilet.

Andy was prompt, professional, and very informative. We talked through all the care and maintainence insturctions. They called to confirm the appointment the day before, and they followed-up two days later to verify that we were still completely satisfied with the results. Andy did good work and keep the house/floors clean.

Dan, who provided the estimate and answered my questions on the initial appointment and Andy who did the work over the three days necessary, were both on-time and courteous. All questions were promptly answered and Andy informed me of the progress during the restoration work. Andy took the time necessary to do the job properly and took extreme care to protect the new wallpaper in the first floor bathroom above the areas where he had to apply Porcelite to the tile. I am very pleased with the result! The tub looks as if it was new!
Description of Work: Porcelite refinished/reglazed a 70 year old bathtub, replaced the old overflow, retrofitted a new drain cover, repaired/replaced the grout as needed, used the Porcelite process to resurface and "paint" the bathroom's tile, reglazed the basement stall fiberglass shower, and recaulked the first floor and basement bathrooms areas as needed.

Very pleasant to deal with. Accurate estimate was given by phone. Andy performed the work. He arrived on time, worked hard, and cleaned up after the work was done. If I ever need this type of work again, I will definitely use the company again.

Andy, from Porcelite, took an old, stained and scratched cast iron bathtub and made it look like new again. The process they use, completely cleans the tub, eliminates scratches/chips and gives it a final finish that looks as good as the original finish. Andy was timely, informative, thorough and completed the work in about 4 hours.

I am completely happy with the process from first contact to the end result. My bathtub was in bad shape and now it looks like a brand new tub! It took about 4 hours total and Andy was polite, friendly, and professional. He sanded down the old finish and sprayed the new coating, including a textured non slip bottom and a new drain as well. What a difference!

Porcellite honored the Angie's list coupon which brought the price in line with competitors. From first contact to final product, Porcelite was very professional and appeared very honest and positive. Adam and I discussed how he would not talk poorly about competitor's and from the beginning Porcelite has built their business on the good work they do and positive experiences. Adam hauled the tools and equipment up my apartment stairs without complaint, laid out drop clothes to protect my floors, sealed off the parts near the bath tub with plastic and tape, hooked-up ventilation to minimize fumes and cleaned-up after himself on completion. The only remainder of him was a beautiful tub and a friendly piece of tape and a sign warning me not to use the tub for 48 hours. Some paint did peel from the tape used, but that was in a soft spot in my bathroom and I don't blame Porcelite for that.
Description of Work: Stripped off an old finish and refinished my bathtub including non-slip texturizing on the bottom.

I found the Porcelite company on Angie's List. They had consistent high grades, so I called them. Both Dan and Andy were very pleasant to work with and very knowlegeable. They adjusted their schedule to meet our remodeling schedule. Dan answered all my questions regarding the new tub surface. Andy called before he came to confirm the service date & time. He arrived on time and quickly and professionally completed the tub resurfacing. He left everything in good order and cleaned up after himself. It was nice to get the $25 dollar Angie's List discount, too! I'm sure that if we follow the care guidelines that Porcelite gave us for the tub we can expect more than satisfactory use of this new tub! It looks great! Thank you Andy & Dan! I would recommend this company and use them again!

It was a good experience from the first phone call to the completion of the project. The work was scheduled and completed within 2 weeks. The actual refinishing took only 4 hours. Andy did the work, and he was efficient and polite beyond belief.
Description of Work: They refinished a very dirty bathtub that might have been close to 100 years old. It now looks exactly like new. In fact, the porcelain looks just like the new sink and toilet I had put in this year. They put a shiny white finish on it and textured the bottom to make it more safe. I couldn't have been more pleased with the result.

Our bathtub had been refinished 20 years ago and was beginning to show wear. We called Porcelite and were able to get an estimate over the phone and an appointment set up within a week or so. Andy showed up when promised and spent a lot of time removing the old finish and applying the new one. The drain had been damaged from chemicals and he added a retrofit for that and the overflow. Andy explained in detail how to take care of our new tub. He was professional and courteous. The tub looks great!

Dan came out promptly after our contractor called him in to repair 2 new cracked acrylic/fiberglass tubs. Our home was damaged from a fire and had to be completely rebuilt. The one piece tubs were the first things installed and were covered to protect them during the remainder of the rebuild processes. When it was time to move in--about 5 months later, we discovered that each of the tubs had small cracks in them--at the same place on each of them--hard to tell why and where these cracks happened. We were just heartsick and extremely irritated at that point. Dan came in and was able to patch the tubs so that it is undetectable unless you know exactly where to look. He was able to match the color and blend everything together and match the finish of the tubs. Since the work was done under the home repair contractors warranty, I do not know the cost of this service.
