I had a quarter size chip in my porcelain kitchen sink. I made a few phone calls to repair shops. The job was either too small or no one returned my calls. I called South Bay Bathtubs and spoke with Walt. He asked me a few questions about the job and we made an appointment for him to repair my sink. He was on time, very friendly, took his time repairing my sink and cleaned the work area when he was done. I highly recommend Walt, with South Bay Bathtubs. read more

Highly recommend SBB. Received a price by just describing our tub. Service was rendered within a few days. Timely, professional and courteous service. No need for non slip stickers or pads because our refinished added a non-slip component to the tub surface. Amazing caulking job as well. Thank you South Bay Bathtubs! read more

South Bay Bathtubs - My refinished tub - Refinishing Services Near Me

Other people might try to sell you a new tub or remodel but with the help of local professionals and a little elbow grease you can probably redo your own bathroom, which is my current project. Really appreciate Walt's up front pricing and his timeliness. As promised it was a task that only took less than a day, minimal noise. Completed job was fantastic. Had to avoid the tub for about 2-3 days but it was definitely worth the wait. Walt even redid and sealed the edges and corners for me, making it look polished. So glad I don't have to stare at an old tub when I go in here. read more

South Bay Bathtubs - Looks amazing! - Refinishing Services Near Me

Walt did such an amazing job in refinishing the bathtub and professionally cleaning the tiles. It far exceeded my expectations. It took him several hours to complete the work.

This was my first time getting something re-glazed. I called Walt and he was very responsive, knowledgeable and flexible with the days I needed. When I called he also told me he re-caulks everything as well and we needed that badly. He re-caulked our kitchen sink, re-caulked and re-glazed our bathtub for a very fair price and did it all in ~4 hours. I wish I had before photos but I attached the afters. I'm telling you, he did an incredible job, thanks Walt!! read more

We had just moved into our new place, where the previous owner had clearly tried to clean the tub with harsh chemicals and brushes. The bath tub floor was scraped all throughout, and the caulking around the tub was peeling. It looked pretty rough. We called Walt up, and he went to work on it so quick! Our tub and caulking look completely brand new. You would have never known this tub had a previous life! 5 stars, and will definitely call him back when we get our other tubs taken care of--especially since his price is so reasonable. read more

I needed my bathtub resurfaced. I chose Walt (South Bay Bathtubs) because of the positive reviews on Yelp. I was not disappointed! He is very knowledgeable and honest when telling you what can and cannot be done. He is very pleasant. My bathtub looks fantastic and he did some caulking around my sink that makes a big difference in how it looks. His work was very carefully done and his clean up is thorough. I can say that you can hire him with complete confidence. read more

We have an old bathtub. It had several very tiny rust spots on one of the walls. We had it reglazed a year ago and the rust came back. I found Walt through googling, and I'd explained to him the condition of the tub and what we needed. Also complained to him that the last guy who did it guaranteed that it would last for a few years, and here we are a year later and the rust came back. Walt replied "it's because they use cheap materials". He went on and said that he applies 6 coats.. Sounds great, you'd think. We booked an appointment on 7/25, and he was prompt. He spent maybe 1.5 hours, and told me to not use it for 48 hours. We didn't use the tub for close to 3 days. A few weeks later, the rust came back, so I sent him some pictures. He offered to come back for a re-do. While he was here I asked him why would it come back so soon if he applied 6 coats and he said, it's not guaranteed and that the coatings are like as if you sprayed the paint on a car. Sure enough a week later, the rust came back again. Yesterday was 8/19, only 25 days and the rust came out again, so I texted him a picture of the rust and absolutely cricket, NO response whatsoever. We paid $550 for his service and feel really ripped off. If we were to replace the tub it would have cost about the same. What I found deceiving is that after having told him the last guy did it and the rust came back after 1 entire year, Walt dissed him by saying that he used cheap materials comparing to his materials and that he applies 6 coats. It's a scratch your head moment. I've watched many you tube videos before when these guys pour the white coating over the tub. Not so with his work, he merely sprays the white paint on. Of course, you don't find out any of this until after the work is already completed. I feel completely betrayed and ripped off. Definitely not worth $550. BEWARE!!! Bottom line is poor workmanship and materials. read more

If you're looking for a someone to reglaze your bathtub, give Walt a call. He did mine this last week and did an outstanding job. He is detailed and skilled and the the tub now looks brand new. Well worth the price. I highly recommend his services. read more

Service requested and agreed. Next morning says I can't do it with no explanation. We spoke on the phone previously and he picked up right away. I called and texted asking why? No response. Shady, unreliable. Additionally he overcharges significantly. I spoke with 3 other vendors, showed images of the tub, and they quoted me $350-$400. His service he quoted is $625. Do not recommend. I am happy I am going with another vendor. This guy will RIP YOU OFF! read more

Walt repaired our bathtub. He painted it and used silica sand on it. The tub was extremely slippery and dangerous too. He did a beautiful job at a really fair price as well. Was a super friendly and nice person who we were glad to have met. He may install grab bars in the future as a added safety measure. Very pleased with everything. Thanks Walt! read more

We hired Walt to glaze our 35+ year old double kitchen sink. The sink was showing a lot of rust damage around the faucet area and was a little dingy. It was installed with a tile surround and replacing it was going to be difficult and time and cost prohibitive. We texted Walt pictures and he was able to provide a fair quote promptly. His communication was good, he arrived on time and did a great job. The sink looks great. Thanks Walt! read more

When we bought our condo, we were convinced we needed bathroom remodels because the grout, tile, and tubs in our shower-tubs were so nasty. We've been putting it off for 5 years and over that time the price on a remodel has doubled. It occurred to us that nothing was structurally wrong with our showers, and thus started looking at restoration options. Walt provides an amazing service and I can't recommend him highly enough if you're in a situation similar to ours. Reglazing services won't take the time to clean, reseal, and repair tile and tubs the way Walt did. We really feel like we got a new bathroom at a fraction of a remodel cost. We're asking him to come back and do our other bathroom and our tile countertops. He's been respectful of our time and our home, and communicates reliably. Thanks Walt! read more

Walt was very friendly and easy to communicate with. I appreciated his honesty and that he was able to come fix our tub in a reasonable amount of time from when I called him. He showed up on time and completed the repair in less time than he thought it would take. He also thought my Tub would be fine with a repair instead of a complete reglaze, costing me less money. I found Walt to be very honest and already recommended him to my neighbors. read more

Walt did an excellent job glazing our bathtub, making it look brand new. He also repaired the floor of our shower where the previous owners had painted the tile. Over the years the paint started flaking off and looked really bad. See the before and after photos I've included. He sanded it down and repainted it making it look a million times better. He believed the original job was done incorrectly and assured me his method will last. Walt is friendly, punctual, does all the work himself and charges a fair price. read more

I plan on having my own tub done as well. I have some before and after pictures for you. It was a great value. I was expecting to pay much more. read more

Sadly this didn't work out. Glazed tub and tile. Re glazed in less than one year due to bubbles. Reglazed by another company due to peeling.

Walt rel-glazed the floor and part of a wall in a shower stall today and I am so pleased with the results. Most of the shower stall was in great condition so he did the necessary areas and it came out beautiful. Seamless. He answered the phone, set up a time to inspect and quote, scheduled quickly within my needs, showed up promptly and completed the job in one day. He also left everything so clean. I will definitely be calling again to do more re-glazing. Thank you so much Walt. read more

I called Walt to re-glaze a bathtub in a rental property. I picked him because of the excellent reviews. I am very glad I did. He arrived at the scheduled time and went right to work. He said the job usually takes about 4 hours to complete. We did a few errands and returned in about 4 hours, just as he was finishing up. The tub looks amazing and our tenants are very pleased. I recommend Walt to anyone that is looking for quality workmanship. He has a friendly personality which is always a plus! read more

I'm sorry I couldn't give a better review. We remodeled our bathrooms two years ago with new cabinets and sinks. I accidentally dropped a heavy ceramic soap dispenser and it put a dent in the porcelain sink and cracks. I contacted Southbay Bathtubs and sent pictures and he said he could fix my sink. I didn't realize that it was a very involved process that took several hours. I have two issues: 1 the finish on the sink is a very bright white and does not match the other sink in the bathroom which is less bright and goes better with the granite. He should have gone with a more matching white and there is a definite difference between the two. 2 There are a couple of small bumps in the finish that might have been from an insect... couldn't that have been dealt with? read more
