Warning - long but truthful and necessary review:
I employed 'Bathtub and Sink Refinishing Atlanta' to resurface my bathtub and the results were disastrous. Bathtub and Sink Refinishing Atlanta (I'm leaving an equally disturbing review for them) outsourced the job to Anthony Davis of Dynamic Resurfacing & Design.
Anthony Davis and his son showed up at my door at the agreed upon time, they seemed very nice and easy to work with. When Anthony looked at my tub he stated that the company which contracted him (Bathtub and Sink Refinishing Atlanta) didn't tell him my job required stripping since my tub had already been resurfaced in the past. I found this odd because I was very clear and upfront with Bathtub and Sink Refinishing Atlanta about my bathtub being previously resurfaced. At any rate, Anthony said it wouldn't be a problem, it would just take a little longer since he had to strip away the old finish first. He proceeds in stripping and sanding down the old finish. He then resurfaced my tub. When I went in to check on Anthony, I noticed he was using a paint roller instead of a sprayer to resurface the tub. I asked him about this and he said because the previous home owners had shower doors up, the spray wouldn't work because there were still groove marks that the spray wouldn't be able to cover. I also found this odd because the guy that resurfaced my tub years ago used a sprayer and it came out just fine, but I'm not a professional resurfacer so what do I know. The whole process took only a couple of hours which was yet another oddity, because it was a 2 day process the last time I had it done. I gave Anthony the benefit of the doubt, processes do evolve. Anthony left me with some instructions for cleaning the tub and let me know it couldn't be used for 48hrs and if I had any issues to give him a call.
Fast forward a few days later, it's now Saturday (I got the tub resurfaced on a Tuesday). I go in my bathroom to examine the job and take a shower and find this (pictures below).
1- the tub looked like it hadn't been properly sanded; 2 - this dude hadn't covered anything but the faucet, so everything else (shower knobs, tile, toilet, flooring, etc.) was covered in grime that had to be scrubbed up because all the particles stuck to the surfaces; 3 - he hadn't put sufficient grout between the tub and tile (hence the black specks seen in the pictures; 4 - the paint around the drain was 3 different shades and you could see the roller marks; 5 - the outside of the tub wasn't painted to the floor and you can see the uneven roller marks and paint specks on the floor; 6 - the absolute worse part, when I got in the tub to take a shower it felt like I was standing on a pebble beach! The finish was so rocky and speckled in many spots making it very uncomfortable. Thankfully I was only taking a shower and wasn't attempting to sit on that.
I called the contracting company back to get in touch with Anthony and get him back out to my house to repair his work (I had misplaced his card and couldn't call him directly). When Anthony called me I told him what was wrong and set an appointment for him to come back and fix his work. He never showed the first time but kept texting me to say he wasn't far away. When he finally did show up a few days later it got interesting. I showed him what my issues were and he kept insisting 'that's light stuff, I just need to sand this out and repaint' and how he'll get it fixed for me. Then, he starts talking about how Alex (the guy from Bathtub and Sink Refinishing of Atlanta') said I never paid for the job and I need to pay now. I told him Alex was full of crap and showed him the receipt sent to me by Alex. He then goes into the bathroom to fix his work and starts talking about how Alex hasn't paid him and how he didn't want to work with Alex anymore. I completely understand where he was coming from but I don't need to hear all of this. Work out your issues with Alex on your own time. As far as I can see, at that point Anthony hadn't done any good quality work that would make me want to call him directly for future jobs (as Anthony was suggesting). Anthony said he was finished again but this time I went to check his work before he left my house. He was trying to get out of the front door but I called him back. Again, my tub looked like it had pebbles and bubbles on the bottom of it. I pointed it out to him and get this - this joker depressed the bubble with his finger and said 'it just needs to settle, it will even out'. I waited a few more days for the finish to 'settle' and what do you know - the surface is still bumpy as ever!
At this point I'm pissed and called Alex to complain again and he said he was no longer working with Anthony and would send someone else out to look at the job.
Bottom line - DO NOT HIRE DYNAMIC RESURFACING & DESIGN AND DO NOT HIRE BATHTUB AND SINK REFINISHING OF ATLANTA!!!! And yes, I got my money back! read more
