Patrick was supposed to fix a crack in our shower floor, left without finishing, said it had to harden, said he would come back a few days later. Got a call from his girl minutes before he was supposed to come saying he had a stroke, and she was laughing about it. Ok... supposed to come out this weekend, no call no show. Ripped us off $455. Will be pursuing a lawsuit. Avoid at all cost.

Parrick was ontime and professional. He refinished a very old 1960s bathtub original color blue and made it a brilliant brite white that looked like it came right off the factory line. Couldn't have asked for a better out come.

I hired Patrick in 2016 to reglaze a tub in a rental house. My husband and I were very pleased with his work. So, we called him again for another rental house. AS before, his job was superb! I'm so pleased with the way the tub looks now. Thanks Patrick!

Not much on leaving reviews infact this will be my first ever but after the job Patrick did for me I figured i could atleast take the time to leave him a nice review. Had a really bad crack in the bottom of one of my tenants tubs that had leaked down stairs on another tenant apartment that caused alot of damage. Was already expecting the high cost of the drywall repairs and wasn't looking forward to the cost of replacing the tub. Originally was quoted alittle over $1,400 for the cost of a liner but decided to shop around. I called Patrick's company along with 3 others finding them online here. He was the the first and "only" one to call me back. Patrick then informed me that he could repair my fiberglass tub-shower with a lifetime warranty on it for $375. Far far less then I originally was expecting to have to pay to repair the holes now in my wallet... I was alittle hesitant at first thinking it was to good to be true and that it was probably because it was just infact a quick fix and would obviously look as such for the price but he assured me again that it would look (Good as new) I was wrong.... when he was done it truly looked "good as new" infact if anything the repair looked better then the rest of the tub dew to the fact the rest of the tubs finish was worn with alot of soup scum. I might add Patrick did warn me of that fact before-hand and suggested to have the rest of the shower reglazed along with the repair for only $300 more, still well under half of the 2 other quotes i received for a tub liner and about $1000 under replacing the tub altogether not to mention saving me days of construction and headaches but I decided to save whatever I could on this one. He was on time, professional, he explained everything he would be doing and was well educated on the whole repair and resurfacing process. Long story short he was the soul reason for leaving this review. Again Thank you for the hard work and saving me a ton of money on this one. I will deffenitly be calling them again if needed.

Found them on Google, did some research to check there reviews on Angies list and BBB and everything looked good. Had to reschedule but well worth the wait. Had entire bathroom tile walls reglazed from a awful pink and blue to a brilliant brite white. The job went unexpectable without any problems and the price vs. replacing was a no-brainer. Thanks again so much.

Hired Patrick a year or so ago to Reglaze our bathtub plus tile walls and the work was very professionally done so we decided to have him do our rental apartments as needed. He has done 3 apartments so far and 2 more are scheduled for the near future. Still can't say enough about the work he has done for us! Again Thank you for a job well done. We will deffenitly be calling you again.

Response from Able Tub Repair
"Again I do apologize sincerely for your inconvenience and as you know from our conversation's I was hospitalized for 3 months and did not intentionally try to avoid you to repair the runs in your tub, that was the reason I refused to except your offer to pay another 250 dollars just to have me come out and fix the repair (that was of no fault of your own.) I tried a number of times to offer a full refund and to resurface the tub as soon as I was physically able but I don't think you were to concerned with anything other then the delay and having it fixed witch again I am very truly sorry for and completely understand I only wish you gave me the benefit of the doubt before the review. If there is still any way I can fix the situation please give me a call and I will do my very best to handle it in a professional manner. I would also still have no problem refunding your money at this time if it helps in anyway."

Communication was excellent with Patrick.  He refinished a fiberglass tub for us in a rental home and it looks great!  He also had to do a little extra work to get the tub prepared and supported.  He was very pleasant to work with and we plan to have him refinish another tub for us in the future.  Our neighbor was impressed by Patrick's work. He's going to hire him to refinish one of his tubs. We're very happy we chose Patrick!

Great! The guy who came to do the work was amazing. I had called many other companies and out of all he gave me the lowest estimate. I had an older bathroom with awful pink coloring. Patrick did wonderful he made my bathroom look brand new. He also came back out to our home on a Sunday for no charge to put new caulk down for me. He was left alone in my home and was very trust worthy, but what made my experience worth posting a review because usually I forget was the fact my husband wrote the check out to them for 500.00 over thinking we had chosen the higher estimate that was given from the other company and Patrick went to deposit the check and noticed the mistake and was honest and drove right back and brought the mistake to my attention. I honestly didn't think there were people like that around these days.

Patrick came out on a Saturday on time and immediately started the job. He finished our bathtub with a white reglaze which took approximately 2 1/2 hours. Afterwards when we took a look we were AMAZED at the results!!!! He took our 58 year old bathtub and made it better than brand new! We will definitely recommend this company to our friends and family. Professional, quality work, fair prices with warranties are all what makes this business an A+. We will be using them again!

Patrick was eager to please. There were a couple of false starts in terms of scheduling, but it worked out. It was necessary for him to make a third trip to wet sand out the imperfections. I've already recommended him to my handyman.

Able Tub came in to do a re-glazing job on one of our fiberglass tub surround units and tile floors for two bathrooms. We got an estimate on a Monday and by Wednesday of the same week, they were back prepping the areas and came back the next day to do the job. Very prompt and personable and did a neat and thorough job. The end results are wonderful and we are extremely satisfied with all work done.

They did everything as asked. Tub was old and worn and scratched up and they made it look like new! I was very impressed and thought they had installed a new tub! but it was the same one looking brand new.
