Wow! I thought the shower in my investment property was so bad I thought I'd have to tear it out completely. The tenants tore it up so bad and it looked so disgusting I didn't even take a before pic of it. So thankful I found Advance refinish! I reached out explaining I needed someone urgently and they fit me in their schedule asap. We easily communicated via text which is very important to me because I'm always on the go juggling dozens of contractors at once so it's so helpful when businesses can communicate in a way that works best for the client. The day of, I got texts of when the technician was on the way which was helpful. He was respectful, worked hours straight and my shower ended up looking brand new and far beyond what I could imagine it to look like. I was incredibly impressed. I do a lot of remodeling projects and I'll no doubt reach out again; they will be my go-to for sure. Highly recommend! read more

Advanced Bathtub - Excellent work! Looks brand new! - Refinishing Services Near Me

Update November 2024: Following my negative review, Jeff contacted me. He sent Juan and Leticia, who stripped the bathtub and refinished it. They seemed careful and tidy. It took them 3+ hours. The finish is nice and shiny. I hope it lasts a long time. Our experience with Advanced Bathtub in 2023 was horrible. Technician D***** maybe had ADD focus issues. In any case, he worked fast and loose and skipped preparation steps. He mixed the epoxy paint wrong, probably too much solvent, such that the curing paint pulled up from inside corners, and retracted and split on horizontal countertop surface. Jeff kept sending him back to re-do, and he kept screwing it up. He worked without a ventilation fan. I'm not sure if he was more mental or more stoned from inhaling solvent. The paint is completely peeling up from the bottom of the tub 18 months later. Evidently the tub surface was not roughened enough prior to paint application. I don't know if the tech even cleaned the surfaces, much less roughened them. He painted right over dirt and dust on the tile. read more

I had my tub refinished with them in February 2022, by May of 2022 it was already peeling with the use of normal household cleaners. They left an information sheet but did not actually advise which cleaners to use or not use. Now, just over a year later it looks worse than it did before these folks refinished it. I never bothered calling them about the guarantee because I figure anyone who can mess it up that badly isn't worth giving a second chance. I don't need someone to make my only bathroom unusable for a day or two so I can be in the same situation. In short, a complete waste of $700 On the plus side, they were the only company who responded to my inquiries at all. read more

When Advanced Refinish came out in 2/23 to change my whirlpool tub into a soaking tub by removing the jets and filling in with Bondo or whatever product they used and then reglazed the tub, I initially left a glowing review. I need to revise that. A year later a small hole appeared in the tub. After a few visits to try to figure out why and not being able to, they refunded 450.00 (half) of the original job and suggested they couldn't do anything else because they couldn't figure it out. After about a week or two of studying the situation, I realized it occurred at the junction of one of the Bondo holes and the original tub. I called back to see if they would send someone out to repair it at some sort of cost to me, as yet to be determined. The initial tradesman came out and repaired it in 30' and charged 100.00. that repair survived 2 baths and then another crack between the repair and the tub. Taking pictures this morning, I see it was actually two cracks, one long and one short. I wondered if maybe the weight of the water caused it to flex and break (similar to the reason you don't caulk a tub unless it is filled with water). Could be part of it, but I also noticed a crack starting in a non-waterbearing part of the tub near the faucet where the on/off switch once was. NO reason for that to fail. I'm going to try to repair it myself this time. Probably won't work, but I want to try. This is likely a good company for many other purposes, but I can't recommend them - or probably the process of converting a whirlpool tub. It just wasn't done well. I'm sorry I ever did this because it was expensive and the 5 year warranty in this situation means nothing. I wish I had put the money towards removing this tub, something they don't do. Also, look closely at the pictures and you can see a lot of pock mark/bubbles and such. a little rough on the skin when bathing! I think a lot of dirt came through the open windows when they were putting on the coating. Probably need a cleaner way to do it. read more

The refinishing was pretty good but the follow-through was lacking and cost my short-term rental and entire weekend of revenue. Beware that after they complete your repair they leave your shower head and curtain rod disassembled and laying on the floor. If you are expecting them to come back to complete the last 2% of the work they refuse. I would not have hired them if I would have realized I had to hire a another contractor to go back and screw on the shower head and curtain rod. read more

From blah to wow, Jeff and his crew transformed my vintage blue tile bathroom to a space I absolutely love for a fraction of what it would have cost to remodel. The crew was meticulous, timely, speedy and professional. They left my space impeccably clean when they were done, not a single trash left behind. read more

They reglazed our tub twice. Unfortunately, the result didn't last more than a year or two.

We are renovating our bathroom and after issues with unreliable or extremely pricey plumbers in Austin, we decided to refinish our tub instead of replacing it. Advanced refinishing was very prompt in their communication, gave us a flat quote right away and on the day of, the process was speedy. Our tub looks brand new! read more

Previous tenant had left the bath countertop/sink stained and damaged. I found 3 places on Yelp that do countertop resurfacing. One of them services only the Lake Travis/West Austin area, and the other advised buying a new vanity. So I hired ABR to do the job, and I'm very happy I did. The sink looks brand new, and the price was very reasonable, cheaper than replacing the whole thing. I was originally skeptical about resurfacing, thinking that in the worst case scenario I would just replace the vanity if it didn't turn out good. I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely hire ABR again for future projects. read more

Advanced Bathtub did an excellent job stripping and resurfacing the tub and shower in our new (to us) home, at a competitive price. The previous owners had resurfaced them previously (poorly, I might add) but Advanced Bathtub did a great job in making everything look like new. The difference in quality is evident as well. Jeff was super responsive during the process (both before and after) and very easy to work with. He stands behind his team's work and that is greatly appreciated. Would not hesitate to recommend to others. read more

I was needing a bath tub replacement when I called this company. I want them to possibly help me since I saw the great reviews on them. The lady answered the phone said that's not what they do but would consult Jeff and had him call me back. I honestly did not expect the call since I understand who would waste their time knowing it is not a business they would earn because that is not what they do. To my surprise Jeff called. He asked about the issue, letting me know that they don't provide the service I was looking for, but he explained and gave his advise. I sincerely appreciate his great customer service. read more

They did a fantastic job on our bathtub and made it look good as new! We had some water damage around the drain in the tub in our guest bathroom, and the finish was worn away, and it was just unsightly. But now it looks great, and they saved us from having to buy a new tub. Jeff, the owner, was very responsive throughout the process, and Carlos, the technician, was very professional, did great work, and left the area clean afterwards. They didn't try to talk us into doing more than we needed, and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely hire Advanced Bathtub again. read more

HIDDEN FEES! I am a repeat customer of Advanced Bathtub Refinishing and I was severely disappointed in my service this time around. I used this company four years ago to refinish a cast iron tub in our 1975 home. The owner of the time offered a competitive rate and did an outstanding job on the tub. ($400 + $75 an hour for stripping off the tub paint) We recently renovated this same bathroom and had several scratches on the tub paint due to construction. I contacted several other companies and this one for a quote. After speaking to the new owner on the phone, we were offered a "return client" pricing and was given a quote of $200 for spot repair or $400 if the tub needed to be completely repainted. This price was spot on the with the other quotes we received from competitors and with our previous experience was so positive, we decided to hire them again. The worker arrived and immediately said that the whole tub needed to be repainted and not just touched up. I gave him the okay and was even contracted by the new owner, Jeff, saying that he would "update my invoice". I assumed that this would be for the $400 price that he offered me, not the $200 price. The paint job was performed well and it looks wonderful. I was then sent an invoice for $650!!! I was shocked! I immediately email back, assuming this was a mistake and was sent another invoice for $600. I then called the owner, Jeff and discussed all the points I laid out here. My conversion with Jeff left me feeling like this was not the same guy who was appreciative of my repeat business and was argumentative over the price. He never informed me of the additional $250 charge for stripping the tub. (Which the previous owner only charged $75, I might add again.) In the end, he sent me a third invoice for $500. Still NOT the $400 he has first offered me. GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING FROM THIS COMPANY is the advice I will give. Needless to say, I WILL be not using this company again or referring my clients to him in the future. Loss of business for these less than moral business owners. read more

Owner Jeff was very condescending towards us. Owner Jeff said it was not worth his time to come back and fix the issues they created. We texted him pics of the work immediately after completion and several days later after we used the tub. Here are our issues: *Grout work was not smooth/clean *They allowed water to be trapped between the grout and tile *His worker left a mess in both our bathrooms the several days he was there *They initially were NOT going to remove the shower door so the entire tub could be refinished *Pin holes were left in my bathtub tile *When they finally placed my bathtub door back on - it slides open on its own while we are showering *Owner Jeff said he would NOT come to fix the issues even after sent a text of the pics and his workers saw it. He left my tub so that major amounts of water will be trapped between my existing tile and his refinishing/coating read more

I'm updating my review. I noticed a small rust spot forming around the drain of my fairly-recently refinished tub. I called and Peter answered... he said that he might be able to send someone that day but we ended-up playing phone-tag and it didn't happen. I had temporarily forgotten about it when a week later Peter called and said that he hadn't forgotten about me. He said his guy was in the area and that he'd swing by and repair it that day. And he did, no problems. Yes, they made a mistake at first, but accidents happen. Peter and his guys have been very responsive and professional. I couldn't be happier. read more

Jeff and his crew were wonderful. The bathtub is 20+ years old with a few nicks and scrapes, after they worked on and refinished the tub it looks as good as new! Everyone was very friendly, responsive and did great work, I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again. read more

I am so happy with our refinished tiles! We had a tile wall refinished from blue to white and had our white penny tile floor (which was stained and with extremely dirty grout) refinished to black. It looks amazing! My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Jeff was super responsive by email and got us an estimate based on pictures and measurements. The whole process was extremely easy and one of the few experiences I've had with a remodel project that went smoothly! read more

I had a 1950's bathroom with baby blue and pink tile. The body of the walls were the blue, the trim pink and I just couldn't live with it any longer. I did some research and decided that a total redo wasn't necessary, just a trim color change: pink to black. So how do you go about changing the color of your tile? You call Peter. He came to take a look and told me they could do it. So I had them do it. It looks great. I am very impressed. Very few people will walk into this bathroom and not think the tile is 100% original. Peter even bought super thin tape (1/8") to cover the grout lines so that when all was said and done it retained the original grout color between the newly painted tiles. This was painstaking work and not cheap but definitely a better value than demolishing the walls and retiling from scratch. It has changed my bathroom dramatically and they were in and out in 2 days. There were some minor scheduling problems but I was always kept informed and when I had questions Peter always answered the phone or got right back to me. I had a second bathroom done as well and the results were the same. Huge improvement, vintage look retained and work done well. I would use them again. read more

we bought our first house and the master bathtub was very yellow, probably the original tub from 2000. peter's team came to the rescue and transformed a yellow old tub into a sparkling bright white tub I now feel comfortable getting into. the process was smooth, one day for refinishing and a few days later a polishing treatment. the tub looks amazing and the whole thing is probably 1/4 of the price of remodeling a bathtub. best thing is the 5yr warranty they provide. i will make sure to take care of it, but knowing that Peter and co. back their product for 5urs helps me sleep better. read more

Wow.wow.wow!!! This company did fantastic. From being able to schedule me quickly (same day I think it was?), to their staff being professional and courteous, to the final finished product. My tubs, once old, hard water laden, discolored, and over "blah" are now shiny, white, and brand new. It's too bad I didn't have it done before I sold my house but it is what it is. I'm just glad that the new owners are going to enjoy the spotless finished outcome. I obviously highly recommend. read more

I shopped around to see who was better and also cost wise. Others where a little less in price but lacked in professionalism and years of service in the Austin area. I wanted someone I knew would be there to honor their warranty if anything were to arise. I called and Peter answered the phone. Turns out he is the owner, not to often does the owner personally answer every phone call, It shows me that a person prides themselves in the work they do when they personally take every case. Peter was straight forward shooter, who was caring for my concerns about the process and time it took to refinish my bathtub. They finished the bathtub in 4 hours and was ready to use in 8 hours!!! When we talked on the phone he asked if I had a regular tub or a claw foot tub. I don't know too many companies that specialize in antique tub refinishing. When I redo my guest bathroom, I am planning on having a claw foot tub. I will definitely use them I redo the bathroom. It's been 2 months and so far the finish still looks as great as before. There are no bubbles or peeling of the finish. read more

These guys did an amazing job on refinishing my tub. They were very flexible with scheduling and were willing to do the job the day after Christmas to accommodate. My tub is original to my 1940s home and had been refinished before. They had to strip & sand it so the cost was a little bit more but still comparable to their competitors. The tub looks brand new & the quality of work is evident. I would highly recommend them if you're looking for quality bathtub refinishing. read more

Peter understood the various painting needs we had between 2 bathrooms. They showed up on time and did a great job. We had one bathtub painted and a sink. Unfortunately a fly landed on the sink so it had to be resprayed. They took care of it, no questions asked. We also had tile painted in the second bathroom. They did a perfect job matching the existing color so we didn't have to spray the entire wall. It all looks good and I feel confident it will look good for years. Lisa Y read more

Did an awesome job on reglazing our tub. No mess left. Came early and finished pretty quickly. Easy paying them online as well. Thanks!

Very professional and friendly service. They gave me a prompt quote for a bathtub that I needed refinished, showed up on time to do the job, and were very helpful in explaining the process and how to care for the tub after it was refinished. The tub looks great. I'd had another company do the same tub before and they did a terrible job--the finish began peeling just a few months later. Advanced Bathtub Refinishing peeled off the bad finish and applied a new one properly. I can tell already that it's a much better job than the first time I had the tub refinished. And ABR offers a 5 year warrantee for their work. read more

I received excellent service from Peter and Victor. Prior to coming out, Peter called and asked questions regarding our project (the surface to our bathtub was peeling and cracking and the unfinished tub was becoming exposed). He let me know that it sounded like Victor would need to strip the tub before refinishing could occur. Let me know that a job as I described would take a few hours of stripping and then another for the job. Victor showed up right on time and began working on the tub. Not only was he very professional, but very clean with the work. He had the tub stripped in a few hours down to the base and updated me with his progress. Before the refinishing, Victor let me know that the smell would be strong and that it would linger for a few hours after he left. This was good to know since we have a dog. After he finished, Victor said that he would be back in a few days to reapply the caulk around the tub. I didn't need to schedule anything - he showed up as promised a few days later. The tub looks great and came in at exactly the price Peter quoted. It can be an expensive job, but it is worth the money when you see the quality of Victor's work. A true perfectionist! read more
