Called and got an estimate from Frank immediately. Seemed in-line or a smidge cheaper than that of sone other companies I researched. HomeAdvisor had these guys at the top of their list and there were a lot of great Yelp and Google reviews so I took a chance.
I had the tub and all of the wall tiles done. Frank's guy (sorry I didn't get his name!) showed up on time at 8am on the scheduled day and spent a few hours protecting the walls, floor and anything else that wasn't going to be glazed. He ran an exhaust pipe to the nearest window and prepped the tub and tile. This took about 5 hours. Then he glazed for the rest of the time. The fumes were quite strong. I kept my Covid-mask on the whole time he was working (he had a dust mask on during prep the and a proper respirator on during sanding/painting, etc.).
The transformation was absolutely amazing. My decrepit, 70s style pink bathroom tiles were gone. (The guy also removed the old shower doors for me and put them by my trash.) The new finish was beautifully smooth and uniformly white. He sanded a portion of the tub floor down for grip and recaulked the base of the tub nicely.
All said it took about 7 hours. The fumes afterward were pretty intense, I gotta say. I put a dehumidifier and fan in there and had both the apartment and building door open quite a bit over the course of 2 days, but my bathroom has zero ventilation. (My neighbors had just their tub done and they have a window in their bathroom so the fumes weren't bad at all for them). (Ps. I don't know if this actually worked, but the interwebs told me to put bowls of vinegar, baking soda and a cut onion out to help absorb/neutralize the odors. 🤷♀️)
I'll post some before and after pics so you can see the transformation. Incidentally, I asked Frank if they did floors and he said they do but it might not be worth it because the heavier foot traffic might cause the finish to peel pretty quickly. He recommended vinyl tilling so I took his advice and you can see the new floor in the pics.
Aftercare seems pretty important. They have a good warranty but if you don't properly care for the tub I'm not sure if the warranty protects you. A quick google search tells you to wipe it down after use, do NOT use caustic cleaners (no bleach or ammonia), polish it with auto wax after a few weeks, don't use anything with suction cups on it and don't keep shampoo bottles or soap sitting on the surface (use a shower rack and soap dish). I believe this info is also on their site but it's a little hard to find and I wouldn't necessarily have realized this if I wasn't a little OCD.:) (Frank if you are reading maybe it would be a good idea to call out the aftercare or send people a email with a link to it when the appt is made or after.)
Bottom line--if you are looking to update your bathroom or just freshen up old, mildewy tiles and can't afford a full bathroom remodel, reglazing is a wonderful option and Supreme did a fabulous job for me! Thank you...
Read moreI just moved into a studio apartment in Murray Hill. My bathroom is a bit outdated in style, and it also needed some TLC. So, I have decided to freshen it up a bit. After doing some research on-line, I found Supreme Bath Refinishing company and amazing reviews it received from previous customers. I emailed them and asked for an estimate to entirely re-grout and re-caulk the bathroom (I opted not to re-glaze the tub). The response was immediate and they asked me to send some pictures of it. After sending them a few photos, they gave me a very reasonable estimate for the job. So yesterday, one of the technician (Alex) came to do the work. Alex was on time, professional, courteous and yes, wearing a mask! He came with the equipment, started working promptly at 9:00am and worked non-stop until about 1:00pm. So it took about 4 hours to complete the job. Neat, no mess and most importantly, it was a thorough job. In the first part of the job, he scraped the old caulking/grouting and then re-applied all in color white. My bathroom looks like new now! It definitely freshened it up and made it look clean and shiny. You won't be able to use it the next 24h. or so, but it's worth it! So, if you are like me- not ready to gut out your current bathroom and entirely renovate it yet, go ahead and call this company, you won't be disappointed. With new caulking/grout, maybe a few new fixtures, like shower head, faucet and a new toilet seat, your bathroom will look fresh, clean, sparkly and (well almost) spa like!
Hope this...
Read moreWhen booking, the team was very responsive and provided all the documents required for my building in a timely manner for my bathtub reglaze. The glazer came early (which I appreciated) and finished within 3 hours (versus the original 4-5 hours estimated). There were some language barriers but with the help of google translate, we were able to mostly understand but there was some confusion during the process.
The final product looks great but I opted for the non-slip add-on so I don't need a bathmat which ruined my tub in the first place which required me to go through this process. The non-slip doesn't really work and my tub is still really slippery. As a result, it wasn't quite what I expected (or what I paid for) and obviously disappointing. Especially when the post care instructions say NOT to use a bathmat but that is the "resolution" given when I told them the non-slip was not, in fact, non-slip. Hence the 2 star reduction.
I have had other tubs who had proper non-slip so if this is important, I would consider looking for another company who can do...
