Mr. Resurface LLC is a Wolcott refinishing business that homeowners call when a tub, shower or tile surround looks worn out but replacing it seems like too much money and mess. The company says it has been in business 20 years, and it holds an active Connecticut home improvement registration, HIC.0613970, in the name Mr Resurface LLC. Google shows 5 stars from 139 ratings and Angi 4.9 from 97. The name that comes up in review after review is Ernest. In an April 2026 Google review, a homeowner who expected to replace a stained, chipped tub said Ernest arrived on time, prepped and protected the area, and left a tub that looked brand new at a fraction of the cost. A November 2025 reviewer had an old cast iron tub resurfaced and called the price reasonable. Customers describe a simple process: in a December 2025 review, a homeowner got a quote by texting photos of the tub, and a 2021 reviewer had a quote within minutes for a 35-year-old fiberglass shower stall that was finished in a few hours. Several customers wrote about return visits after a finish problem. In an October 2025 review, Ernest came back to fix a minor peeling spot, and a January 2025 reviewer said he corrected chipping and peeling at no charge every time. A 2021 Angi reviewer said a defect was repaired under the warranty, though the fumes took a day or two to clear. One 2019 Angi review was negative: the customer said caulking was done without asking, left with bumps and ridges, and that Ernest then quoted an extra $95 to fix it. Another 2019 reviewer mentioned a scheduling mixup that put him a few hours late. The work goes beyond tubs: a 2023 Angi customer had kitchen countertops and a backsplash resurfaced, and a December 2023 reviewer had an antique pedestal sink refinished.
I was a skeptic about tub resurfacing, but was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the craftsmanship and the final result. My tub had seen better days — worn finish, stubborn stains, and chips that made the whole bathroom look tired. I figured replacement was the only real option, so when a friend suggested resurfacing, I honestly didn’t think it could make much of a difference. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Ernest arrived on time, was professional throughout the entire process, and took great care to properly prep and protect the surrounding area before starting any work. It was clear from the start that this wasn’t a rushed job — every step was handled with attention to detail. The finished product genuinely blew me away. The tub looks brand new — smooth, glossy, and evenly coated without a single blemish. The color is flawless and the surface feels incredibly durable. Friends and family who have seen it can’t believe it’s the same tub. On top of the exceptional work, the cost savings compared to a full replacement were significant. I got what felt like a brand new bathroom fixture at a fraction of the price and with far less disruption to my home. I would absolutely recommend professional tub resurfacing to anyone on the fence about it — and Ernest from Mr. Resurface in particular deserves every bit of praise. Five stars without hesitation.
Before & After photos show the excellent workmanship
Earnest was terrific. Bonded, referrals, clean up and tarps placed on carpets. Promptly returned phone messages. Beautiful resurfacing. Looks like new!
Wonderful experience from start to finish -- with amazing results! It was so easy to get a quote after just texting some photos of the tub, schedule, and get the job done! Don't put it off -- you will be so happy with your reglazed tub!
Ernest recently resurfaced our old cast iron tub and we are super happy. He was VERY professional, friendly, thorough, and reasonably priced. This is at a fraction of the price and a sustainable option vs. removing and tossing the old tub. I definitely recommend, and will hire him again for other projects in my home!
