"Awful. Bob Dewhurst started the job on March 1, 2021. Was supposed to take 3-5 days. As of May 27, 2021 he has not completed our bathroom and the work that has been done needs to be redone. Shower pan leaks, Onyx walls are bowing, there is a crack in one of the Onyx walls that his crew tried to hide from us with silicone. We have paid him money and he will complete job. If you use him make sure you have an attorney on retainer."

The most common reasons to refinish a tub are: outdated colors (avocado, pink, sea foam green to name a few), damage, rust and a dull finish. These are all remedied in just a few hours with our refinishing process. After refinishing, you have a tub with a smooth glossy finish that will stay looking great for years and is easy to maintain. The kitchen is the gathering place for today's busy families. Countertops have a big impact on the overall appearance and value of your home. Problem areas are fixed and a completely new, easy to clean, low maintenance, semi-gloss topcoat is applied. The result is a brand-new looking kitchen with attractive, durable counters. Refinishing a bathroom sink usually completes the transformation into a showcase bath. Outdated color is a very common reason for refinishing. Professional spot repair services are available for fixtures that are chipped or cracked, but do not need complete refinishing. Is your tub or shower bottom cracked and leaking ? You can't just let it go!
"Lazaro came to refinish and reglaze my tub. He is a delightful man, I will say that up front. He told me on the phone the job would take 4 hours. I've had this done before in Ky and was charged $350 and it took 2 days. I was charged extra for sanding off some peeling finish, a total of $550. I asked if it would be a really terrific job, he said yes, for paying so much extra. When he arrived, he said he'd be here about 3 hours, I thought that certainly doesn't sound like enough time to do all the steps. The finish isn't smooth at all, and there is a large spot near the drain handle that is gray or blue? There are lots of round dots that are gray or blue showing through the white, the white isn't uniform at all. Many places without enough glaze. There is glaze 1-2" up my tile on the shower walls. He didn't remove the drain ring, and just painted over it, and told me to use a rubber plug. ??? I had my plumber coming to replace the drain so it would all be fresh and new. I'd like to attach photos but I don't see that option. I'd waited YEARS for a company to do this service in this area. I'm super disappointed with the job and I can't recommend him. Go without, get a new tub, but don't trust this process to make you happy. I paid $200 extra for sanding and considering he spent even less time than he told me he would, he obviously didn't take the time to do the job properly. This is an old enameled iron tub and was well worth saving vs replacing or the liner option. I've been unable to find anyone else that does this. I'm in the Banner Elk zip code. I had great hopes and couldn't be more upset about the result. I just took photos, I've been out of town since he finished and just got my 1st up close look, he didn't even remove the drain lever cover and didn't repair the enamel under the cover! He got out of here fast, I see why. I couldn't see the complete result as he was standing by the tub when I went in and hadn't removed the tarps etc. I also had 2 other people here I was meeting with when he finished. I hope you can find another person to do your repair and reglaze."

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.
