These guys believe in customer satisfaction. They made sure that our concerns were addressed even after they had already been paid! For contractors reading this review, I strongly recommend that you get advice from Jet Marnell regarding how to effectively communicate with your clients.

This may well be the most efficient and responsive company we've ever dealt with. The response to my initial inquiry was immediate and all future communications were equally prompt. The ease of describing the problem with our existing shower door and their suggested solution was handled with ease. We communicated via emails in an extremely effective manner. This company delivers what it promises! We would not hesitate to use them again.

Carlos completed the work less than two weeks ago. We had some gliches at no fault of the contractor, death in his family then he got the flu but he finished the job very nicely. Cleaned up and I would highly recommend the gentleman. Answered every question we had and he worked with the customer. Very nice young man.

Service provider is VERY slow to return calls. Called on several occasions and did not receive call back for 48-72 hours each time. Generally unsatisfactory for current business standards. Made us feel like they did not need our business. We were looking for someone who WANTED to do the work, and would provide superior customer service--NOT this vendor.
Description of Work: Nothing--response time was FAR TOO SLOW.

Response from NW Tub & Shower
We are sorry to hear about your disappointment. There are several factors that affected your experience with our company. Unfortunately at the time of your contact, we suffered a family tragedy and our family was in and out of town for several weeks, leaving the office short staffed and putting us behind. However, our records do show that we contacted you the next business day (Monday) after your initial voice mail and we gave you a phone estimate for your job. We also received an online request from you that we responded to and you thanked us for the rapid response. After that we received photos of your unique situation and the person in the office was not able to give an estimate without consulting us and we were unavailable. We do the best we can to make replies in a timely fashion but it is common to have a wait of a couple of days to get responses for unusual situations. The people that we get the second opinions from are not here working in the office during the days. They are out on jobsites working long days themselves.

This involved breaking down the old tub, building a shower surround, installing sliding shower doors and retiling the lower half with matching tiles in order to save the original tiles. They also had to repair floor and door trim that were damaged from the removal of the tub (not their fault). They did a great job. They are very professional and look for the most cost-effective way to do a project. I am very happy with their work and pricing.
Description of Work: Converted a bathtub to a shower. I have also used them for other various small jobs (repairing a broken tile, dry wall repair, a basement access door, hand rails on a stair and grab bars in the shower.

The Bathcrest technician removed the damaged area and filled and smoothed the surface and made an exact match to the surrounding service. The tech showed up on time and did a first-rate job. We have many tubs here of similar vintage (about 10 years after installation). Bathcrest has repaired some in the past and we will call Bathcrest if others fail in the future.
Description of Work: The surface around tub drain was flaking up in sharp chunks and delaminating.

They did the job as scheduled and cleaned up after the job was finished. There was one spot that we noticed after they left that was not evenly covered. He returned and touched up the spot. The tub looks great but we do not use it.

It went perfectly fine and Bathcrest of Portland is very nice. I'm sure their price was great or else our remodeler that we were using at the time wouldn't have gone with the company or used them! Even though it has been several years, the bathtub still looks like they just did the work yesterday. Also, when I order my bathmats they are always very professional.
Description of Work: It has been a number of years since they did work for us, but they refinished our bathtub when we were doing a remodel so we didn't have to buy a new one. After they were finished with the job, they gave us a bottle of touch up paint, and told us about the bathmats they suggested we use after that because the suction of the other kind does not mesh well with the finish. We also continue to purchase our bathmats from them which are always wonderful. They mail them to me because it is too far for me to drive.

They were very kind, efficient, and they cleaned up very well after themselves. I am very picky about clean up and they met my expectations. The price was reasonable. I definitely would use them again in the future if I needed something like this done again.
Description of Work: Bathcrest of Portland refinished my bathtub and my sink. It's an older home and there is a window right above the tub and they also replaced the window frame with a new plastic frame so it wouldn't rot.

I remember being very impressed with how quickly they did the job, and also very impressed with the price. They were recommended to me by my realtor, and they made the tub look brand new. They did a really good job. The tub is brilliant and it still looks brand new. I think the finish is supposed to last about 10 years, but I am honestly thinking about having them come and refinish the tub again in a few years. It was like waving a magic wand and I can't think of any reason I would ever buy a new tub again. They worker was polite, professional, knew what he was doing; he actually even took the time to explain exactly what he was doing with as much detail as I asked him to.
Description of Work: We had a hole in the outside of our bathtub and we were afraid we were going to have to purchase a brand new tub. Bathcrest of Portland filled and repaired the hole, and also refinished and resurfaced the bathtub. They matched the old and the new coloring on the finish perfectly.

Bathtub was old and had already been refinished twice. The new surface is nice and smooth. The only problem is around the drain where the finish appears to be peeling away from the metal. Tub was a long one - too expensive to replace and too hard to find that length. It is a length that lets tall people leisurely soak, so we didn't want to replace it. The provider employee was very nice, and worked hard to make it a good finish.
Description of Work: Refinished 80 year old bathtub. Gave it a smooth white surface.

What I liked is that I think they were "as advertised." They didn't create expectations that were over the top which was nice. They let us know they weren't miracle workers, and that it wouldn't look like a brand new sink when they were done, but that they would be able to blend and buff in the filler well. They also let us know what we could expect in the timeframe after the repair as well. They got the job done within the time frame they said, and the end result turned out fine. The filler blended really well. We've had no problems since they did the repair, and it still looks the same as the day they did it. They were also good on the phone.
Description of Work: We had a chip about the size of a dime in our bathroom sink.They let us know we could get the whole sink refinished, or we could just have them repair the chipped area. We chose to go with having them just repair the damaged area. They filled in the area that had chipped with new porcelain that was as closely matched to the original color of porcelain as possible.

I called for an estimate and scheduled the work to be done. The Bathcrest person (Ricardo) came out and stripped, sanded and re-glazed the tub on a Tuesday. It cured until Thursday when he returned to sand and re-glaze it. After 2 days, we caulked around the tub and then hung the shower doors on Sunday and could use it after that. The glazing does have a very strong smell for about a week, but it goes away. The tub looks great and feels great too.You do have to make sure you use a non-abrasive cleaner on the tub, and don't leave anything on the tub surface or tub walls. If you drop things in the tub, you may scratch the surface. After 8 years, I did have several dings from dropping shampoo bottles, but otherwise, it was easy to care for and continued to look nice.
Description of Work: I have an old 5 foot long tub (about 85 years old) that really needed to either be replaced or resurfaced. I have now had it re-finished 3 times by Bathcrest franchises. The work is guaranteed for 5 years. The first time Bathcrest re-finished the tub was in 1996 . Then I had it re-done by Bathcrest in 2004, 8 years after I had it done the first time, and then 8 years after that (2012) for the second time. The tub was stripped, sanded, and glazed on a Tuesday taking the full day. Then on Thursday he returned and sanded out the bumps and smoothed everything out.

The process took about 3 hours and then we weren't able to us the tub for a day or two. After that it has been very easy to take care of and clean. We're very happy with the results.
Description of Work: Bathcrest gave me an estimate over the phone, (very easy to do) for refinishing an original cast iron tub in our 1950's house. It was in sorry shape, a good cleaning was not going to make the years of use go away! Today it looks like a brand new tub, we love it and the price was incredibly reasonable!

Carlos Montes of BATHCREST OF PORTLAND installed grab bars and a new toilet in my mother's bathroom. He came and gave her an estimate and thoroughly discussed her options for both the grab bars and the new toilet. She had purchased a grab bar from a medical service that was supposed to be ADA compliant but when he saw it he felt they could provide a safer grab bar. He explained the anchors provided on hers would not hold up well and he was right because when we saw what Bathcrest had, which were a larger diameter too we agreed they were a much better choice. He also discussed with her where she wanted them placed. We did not have to buy a toilet either as they did that for her and at a better price. All the work was done within a week of the estimate and was completed the same day. Mr. Montes and all the staff were a pleasure to work with and we would not hesitate to have them do other work. The cost for the entire job was very reasonable.
Description of Work: Removed and disposed of existing toilet. Installed new Toto standard toilet. Supplied and installed two 18" Grab Bars with ADA compliant Wing-it fasteners.

. The worker arrived on time, set up the equipment and was very professional in explaining exactly what he would do. He told me when the resurfacing would begin after his set-up work so that I would know when the loud noise from equipment and fumes might occur. He finished the entire job almost one hour sooner than predicted and cleaned up everything before he left. He pointed out that a bubble occurred at the side of the tub which sometimes happens and he would be back after few days of curing time to buff it out. About 3 to 4 days later he returned and buffed out the bubble to make everything soothe. It looks really fabulous, as if it was always a creamy ivory colored tub and shower instead of the blue color it had been. I would recommend this process for anyone who has the 1970's colored fixtures, especially if it is guest bathroom and not used on a daily basis. The company guarantees the product for 5 years.
