What to Expect – And What to Watch Out For

It has come to our attention that homeowners in the Greater Cincinnati area are being targeted by individuals posing as bathtub refinishing professionals. These bad actors often offer services at too-good-to-be-true prices, collect payment, and perform poor-quality work or leave town altogether, rendering any promised warranties meaningless.

At American Refinishing Inc, we want to make sure local consumers are protected and fully informed.

We are a family-owned and operated business that has proudly served this region since 1994. With decades of experience in bathtub refinishing, repairs, restorations, and fiberglass repair, we’ve built a reputation for quality work, honest pricing, and long-lasting results. When you work with us, you’re working with a company that’s deeply rooted in the community—and one that stands behind every job we do.

What You Can Expect From a Trusted Local Business

Choosing American Refinishing Inc means choosing:

• A proven track record with hundreds of satisfied local customers
• Professional refinishing, color updates, and restoration services for bathtubs and tile
• Safe, efficient methods that avoid the need for demolition
• Fiberglass crack repair and full surface restoration
• Clear communication, fair pricing, and no hidden costs
• A written warranty from a company that will be here tomorrow, and years from now

We specialize in restoring clawfoot and antique bathtubs, changing outdated tub and tile colors, and giving new life to worn or damaged fiberglass surfaces. If it can be repaired or resurfaced, we’ll give you an honest assessment and professional results.

What to Watch Out For

Unfortunately, not everyone advertising these services operates with integrity. Many of the complaints we hear involve:

• People claiming to be professionals but with no local business history
• Cash-only operations that don’t provide receipts or warranties
• High-pressure sales tactics and vague promises
• Work that begins quickly but fails within months
• Phone numbers or contacts that suddenly stop working after the job is done

Protect Yourself

Before hiring anyone for refinishing or restoration work, take a few steps to make sure you’re dealing with a legitimate, reputable company:

• Research the company online and confirm they have a presence in the local community.
• Ask for references, photos of past projects, or online reviews.
• Request a written estimate and warranty before work begins.
• Be cautious of unusually low prices, fast-talking sales pitches, or pressure to pay in cash.
• Always trust your instincts and remember, if something feels off, it most likely is.

If you ever have questions about our services or want to confirm that you're working with American Refinishing Inc, we're here to help.
