Boston Bathtub

Boston Bathtub works in refinishing, not remodeling — tubs, tile, sinks, and countertops resurfaced rather than ripped out, using the company's own "RapidCoat" coating. Based in Avon, the company is co-founded and run by Christian Blunt, who says he's spent six years mastering the refinishing craft, and its stated territory stretches from Worcester through Boston to Cape Cod and the South Shore. The Google numbers are close to spotless — 44 ratings averaging 5 stars — and the last six months back that up with six reviews, all positive. One recent customer had the crew arrive on time and finish a bathtub reglazing at what they called a reasonable price; another noticed a small spot on the finish wasn't quite right, and the crew came back and corrected it right away. A general contractor with his own eye for quality called them in after a drywall knife chipped a porcelain enamel tub during a renovation cleanup — a repair the tub manufacturer's own process couldn't turn around in two weeks. In February, technician Evin carefully reglazed a 1950s cast iron tub that had started chipping after an earlier refinishing job elsewhere, fixing old damage around the overflow along the way. The one blemish across three years of reviews is minor: a single customer describes going unanswered on a request and finding the Avon office locked during a visit — an outlier against what's otherwise a responsive track record. For a tub, tile, or countertop that's dated or chipped rather than actually broken, this is a company built around exactly that fix — worth a call before anyone quotes a full remodel.
