A1 Refinishers

I would not recommend A-1. They did not deliver and after 30 days the tub peeled and bubbled. After sharing my experience, A-1 quoted $700 to refinish work that should of been done right the first time. Poor service, cheap, and poor quality.

Comments were made in the heat of anger. Was unable to modify or delete them. After thinking more on it, kitchen and bath tub were probably not good candidates for refinishing due to age/rust visible. In addition care instructions were probably not followed by tenant. So not sure if A1 Refinishers applications deserve all of the blame.

After reviewing beautiful before/after pictures on their website, I paid them to refinish an old farm style kitchen sink- $150 and an old soaker bathtub- $325 at a rental unit. Both are porcelain over cast iron. Both had areas around the drain where cast iron was showing vs porcelain a a few. nicks. After the refinish, I noticed some peeling within 2wks. Ended up calling them back twice over the next couple of months and had to deal with their annoyance at getting callbacks. Issues were never resolved and the peeling slowly continued. A contractor doing other work at the house in 2011 had seen the original refinish and was shocked recently at the condition which is worse than when I originally called!
I decided to try once more as I LOVE the sink. TRC Refinishers came to give an estimate 2-21-13. TRC thought it would be a waste of money because of the cast iron showing (again) and recommended replacing both fixtures. Very disappointed with A1.
P.S. - My comments are not an endorsement for TRC as I have not had them do any work yet but am thinking about it.
