American Tub Refinishing

Bathtub Restoration, Kitchen and Bath Remodeling

About us

This site has not forwarded over a dozen quote requests. I recommend you contact me directly. Carolinas, if your tub, shower or wall tile is hard to clean, dull, chipped, cracked, stained, or just a color you do not like. AMERICAN TUB has the solution you are looking for, RECYCLE instead of replacing and $ave your money with affordable refinishing where the work matters to me because it matters to you. After years of abrasive cleaners and harsh minerals in the water, the glossy shine wears away, opening up microscopic pores in the surface that allow dirt to settle in making it almost impossible to keep clean. Refinishing puts a new gloss coat on, filling the pores and making it easy to clean. So easy, in fact, that abrasive cleaners are not needed and should never be used again.

Business highlights

14 years of trusted experience

Services we offer

I am an independent refinisher with no franchise fees owed to a distant corporation. I specialize in just mobile refinishing bathtubs, showers and wall tile which keeps my operating costs low. Where some others will refinish anything that does not run away and may do other trades which will increase their operating costs, I do not. My charge for a 27"x54" basic bathtub refinish is $199.

Services we don't offer

I only refinish, I do not remove or replace bathtubs or tile.

I am owner and CEO of Herculean Property, we mostly focus on house flipping in the Greenville area and I would say ATR is one of my secret weapons and Russel is my go to guy. The one great thing I can say is he will NOT put making a buck over the quality of his work and ultimately your product. I don't mind making sure my job sites are up to his standards because in the end it benefits me. He text me when he gets to one of my houses, then pictures of the before and then pictures of the after. He is always on time and has even got jobs done for me on short notice and on weekends. If you want a professional that puts the quality of his work over "just doing it" and taking your money then American Tub Refinishing is my recommendation.

I called Russell several times to get a quote. I spoke with him and he said to text him a picture of the tub and the measurements. This is a complete remodel, He said to not caulk the top edge of the tub after the tile was in. I explained that the rough in plumbing in in but the spigot had not been installed. He spoke with my contractor who explained that there is water at the house he can access. This morning I received this text from him: Check out your job site...unable to help you with this job...not interested in any future jobs...thank you I immediately called him, left message, he didn't respond. Sent him a text and asked him to call me..he did not! I am blown away by the total LACK of Professionalism. DO NOT USE this guy! He should NOT be on Angie's List! I am a realtor and refer contractors ALL the time,this is one to STAY AWAY from! BTW: red flags were up when I first spoke with him. He did not want to warranty his work for the buyer of our house. Hmmm...lesson learned..

Response from American Tub Refinishing
I will take a bad review for not refinishing a tub versus one for a unacceptable result due to site conditions. I was very specific on what job site conditions were needed to do this job, which is a flip house, not her residence. I was assured everything was ready. I arrive on the job site after driving 90 miles one way and the house was a disaster area under construction. No running water at the bathtub, when I was told the day before there was. Construction dust and debris were thru out the property, with exposed sub flooring and open wall cavities. Sent a text "Check out your job site...unable to help you with this job...not interested in any future jobs...thank you" and her response after her deceitfulness to get me to the job site, that was not ready for a tub to be refinished, is to leave a vindictive review, when NO work could be done in a house of that condition. It is telling that a bad review is given by someone who created the situation for them to be upset. Check out my five star reviews from real customers where actual work was done, and compare to her spiteful review.

I called him for a quote and he advised me to do it myself and even went into great detail of how to do the repair. He isn't one of those repairman who is in it just for the money. He could have come and charged me any price. (I had no idea how to plug bathtub holes.) Instead, he offered free advuce. I was very impressed and will definitely call him for future needs.

He did an excellent job. A few months later I dropped something heavy in the tub and chipped it. He came back and fixed it (and for a much lower charge than I would have expected). I would definitely hire him again.

All I can say is I wish I would have done this years ago! It looks like brand new! Russ was on time and very professional. We are in the midst of a remodel and he patiently climbed over materials -- never complained.

Mr. Jacobsen arrived on time and began work immediately. He answered all my concerns and questions with patience and politeness, even made helpful suggestions on improving the appearance of the bathroom. He was professional and did an outstanding job on my old blue tub, transforming it into a new white tub. I couldn't be more pleased. He charged a fair price for the work. I highly recommend him.

Everything went spectacularly. The owner performs all services himself. He VERY carefully covered all surfaces in the bathroom and took the greatest care with our home. He did a fantastic job with plugging the holes with a fiberglass putty and then etched and refinished the glaze on the inside of our antique cast iron claw foot tub. It looks absolutely beautiful...you can't even tell where the faucets used to enter the side wall of the tub.I have used the tub quite regularly for the past 5 months and the finish still looks gorgeous. Further, not a spec of mess was left behind anywhere in the bathroom. Absolutely fantastic job and VERY reasonably!

We are very pleased with our refinished tub for a fraction of the cost it would have been to replace. I would describe Mr. Jacobson as an artist who takes great pride in his work. We moved into a home with the guest shower/bathtub in bad shape with tons of soap scum and fiberglass cracked. Mr. Jacobson arrived on time, performed the repair work and refinishing within four hours. He was meticulous to details from tub preparation to completed job and came prepared with all types of speciality equipment including a venting system through an outside window. He completely covers walls, windows and doors before he beganand cleaned up when he finished. Our bathtub looks brand new and is very easy to clean. I would highly recommend American Tub Refinishing. Mr. Jacobson has a great website explaining the process and how to prepare for his arrival. He also answered any questions by phone or text before his arrival.
