New England All Surface Restoration is a Canton, MA-based bathtub, shower, tile, and sink refinishing business run by owner Colum Dolan, who the company's site describes as family-owned and operating since 1990 with 35-plus years of experience; the company says it serves Boston, Quincy, Brockton, Weymouth, Norwood, Dedham, Canton, Milton, Randolph, Foxboro, Walpole, Stoughton, Sharon, and Mansfield. Angi reviews from 2020 through early 2026 consistently praise Colum's refinishing work on bathtubs, shower surrounds, and tile, with homeowners repeatedly calling out punctual arrival, meticulous cleanup, and a finished look described as "like new," including on antique claw-foot and cast-iron tubs. Several reviewers describe a fast quote turnaround and reasonable pricing, and more than one says they called him back for additional bathroom tile work after an initial job. A few accounts are worth asking about before booking: a 2026 review describes a refinished tub that didn't hold up compared to two prior refinishing jobs on the same tub, and a 2021 review describes poor communication and no receipt or warranty paperwork provided after the job. Angi and HomeAdvisor both list the business at 4.7 stars from 201 ratings with an 85% five-star share. For a straightforward tub, tile, or shower refinish in the Greater Boston area, the long, largely positive Angi history is the strongest signal here — it's worth confirming upfront what written warranty and receipt you'll get for the job.
Do yourself a favor and AVOID dealing with this business! Hired NE All Surface Restoration in Dec 2024 to refinish my bathtub. Same tub has been refinished twice before by other companies and never looked anything like this, so I know what a proper job should look like. Colum sent a colleague to do the work. A few hours later I inspected it and could tell the surface was uneven and poorly prepped. I contacted both Colum and the technician with no response, cancelled the check, and said I would not pay unless it was corrected. Only then did the technician return, lightly sand a few spots, and apply another coat. I was told there was a 5-year warranty (although he intentionally avoids giving it in writing) if any future issues arise, so I issued a new check. 14 months later paint is peeling. Contacted Colum with photos. He initially replied to my email and said he could come fix it, but after I confirmed availability, he stopped responding. No replies to emails, texts, or voicemails.
Colum did an excellent refinishing job restoring my tub and recaulking the tiles for a very reasonable price. He cleaned up his work space meticulously and left behind a cast iron tub that looked like new! Punctual, personable and professional !
New England All Surface Restoration owned by Colum Dolan did a great job to help me refinish two bathtubs. One was a very ancient antique claw foot tub with a rusting drain. Colum has a lot of experience and he was able to give me a helpful fix to get more life out of this cast iron and porcelain tub - 100 years old or more to keep it going longer. Both project came out very satisfying. In addition the owner is friendly and fair - and the kind of person one feels glad to have hired.
Great guy great personality does great work very clean picks up after very low reasonable rates very professional I would recommend him to anybody
We would highly recommend New England All Service Restoration. He did an excellent job of making our old bathtub, rusty bathtub as well as the surrounding wall tiles look like new. We will be having him come back to also refinish the remaining tile in the bathroom. We found that Colum responded quickly back to us, arrived at the time he said he would, was friendly, and neat.
