What our Customers are Saying


Hi Jim and Deb, I am so proud of my new tub.  It looks beautiful and I am so pleased with the results. Thank you for your quality and professional workmanship.   Blessings to you.  Ella in Benbrook


Hi Debbie, Another beautiful refinishing job!   Jim puts so much prep into it - I think the part you don’t see is as beautiful as the finished job. Thanks so much!  Dave M in Garland


Jim & Debbie, we love our refinished bathtub! I can't believe that we did not get it refinished sooner. Thank you very much for your amazing refinishing work! It really makes our older vintage bathroom look great.  Joe H in Dallas


I am so happy with my refinished bathtub!  Its surface had become pitted and dingy over the years and now it looks brand new.  I found Sharp Refinishing in an Internet search.  I was attracted to their website because of its professional, warm, and friendly nature.  The site is chock full of information.  I used it as a guide to assemble information and photos of my installation to send in to Debbie.  Soon I received a quote and had Jim scheduled to do the job.   

Jim’s approach to the job was meticulous.  I think of it as the difference between “personal pride” professionalism and ”industrial” professionalism.  In the latter case, the installers have little “skin in the game” and are in and out as quickly as possible.  They may not have been trained in detail in all aspects of the job and are sent out unsupervised to do the job, leaving the final finishing to the customer.

On job day, I received a call from Jim saying he was on his way.  He arrived on time and went right to work setting up a ventilation system to keep fumes from reaching the rest of the house.  He stripped off an old refinishing coat and took extra care preparing the surface for the finish coats, including using an industrial filler on the badly pitted bottom of the tub.   

Frequently Jim would come out of the bathroom to check on how the fume control was working.  He had it under control during the entire job.  When he was finished applying the final coat of finish Jim asked me to go in and take a look.  The finishing job was beautiful beyond my expectations, but I was also thoroughly impressed by the detail of masking that had gone into the preparation for applying the finish.  ‘Meticulous’ comes to mind as I recall the vision. 

I had opted for the return visit, and the next day Jim arrived at the agreed-upon time, removed all the masking, and applied caulk around the finished tub.  It now looks like I have a new bathroom and makes me feel like I am in a new home!  I think it would be worth anyone’s while to consider Sharp Refinishing for any of the services they offer.    Dave M in Garland


Jim, thank you for such a beautiful job on the bathtub.  Your kind service and lovely work are appreciated.  Nancy in Watauga


We are thrilled with the bathtubs!  Our realtor was just as thrilled as we are, and I gave her your business card.  When I have a minute, I will write an A+ review on Angie's List, complete with photos.  Beth in Dallas


Mr. Sharp did an excellent job in refinishing a damage bathroom tub that had lost its finish. He was on time, delivered his services in a high quality manner, paid close attention to details, and left the job in impeccable condition. I fully recommend him for your next job.  Janet in Grapevine


Jim and Debbie, THANK YOU for making our ugly, worn-out bathtub look brand new!  We are amazed every time we look at it.  It was a pleasure having you in our home.  You are truly one of the most professional, friendly, and dependable contractors we have ever used.  The entire process, from scheduling to finish, was easy and effortless, and your prices are extremely reasonable.  We will highly recommend you and be glad to assure anyone that you and the process are top-notch!  Dale and Sandy in Rowlett


Jim and Debbie are consummate professionals!  They charge a reasonable price for outstanding service!  I enthusiastically recommend Sharp Refinishing for your next home project.  Debbie strives to schedule jobs at convenient times for customers.  On the job, Jim goes above and beyond what you would expect from any contractor.  Together, Jim and Debbie put their good reputation on the line every time they accept a job.  Suffice it to say that their excellent reputation is unblemished.   Gary in Saginaw


We want to thank you for the fantastic job you did in refinishing our bathtub.  It was pitted and stained, but now it looks brand new — actually better than new!   You were professional, on time, and really did a good job of working in tight quarters.  To be honest, we expected to have a lot of dust and odor, and we were totally surprised by how well you were able to control it.  We will call you back and will recommend you highly.  Mark and Patti in Plano


We had our 60 year-old tub refinished in January of 2010.  It was absolutely beautiful and worth every penny to be rid of the worn, dull, and dreary tub we'd cringed at for years!  I was very impressed with how professionally everything was done, covered, and protected, and at what a pleasure it was have Jim Sharp and Jerry in our home.

I would only suggest that the work be done when temperatures aren't below freezing, which did slow drying time and the ability to grout around the finished tub.  But, this was a beautiful job and extremely well done!   Carol in Dallas


We love our bathroom countertop.  My sister and her friend from California were here and could not believe it.  They were going to try to find someone there that does it.  Jim did an awesome job.  THANK YOU SO MUCH!  Peggy in Grapevine


Hi Jim, Thanks so much for the wonderful job on my kitchen countertops.  After you did the bathrooms earlier this year and they looked so great, I knew I had to get the kitchen done too.  It was such a pleasure working with you again.  I had high expectations after the job you did last time, and once again you met my expectations, and then some!  The countertops look amazing and even better than I thought they would, and your work is outstanding.  And after you were finished, you cleaned up so well I couldn't even tell you'd been there (except for the beautiful countertops)!  Thanks again for everything!  Carla in Euless


Jim, it was a pleasure having you and your crew in our home.  When we decided to have our bathtub refinished, we had no idea who to call or trust to do the job.  After researching all of the companies in the DFW area, we decided that your experience in the business meant more to us than just a cheap price.  After you finished the job, we were so glad that we chose you rather than another company.  Our bathtub looks just like new and no one would ever believe that it has been refinished.  Thanks again for such a good job!  Tom in Rowlett


My wife wanted to have our 30 year-old bath tub refinished.  It had a scratchy bottom and small rust stains that no cleaner could remove - and we tried them all.  I found the Sharp Porcelain website from a Google search.  It had a lot of information about the process and the price seemed reasonable.  I called to set up the job, and received more tips and options to achieve the best result.  Jim was prompt, professional, easy to get along with, and did a fabulous job.  The tub looks better than new, and my wife and I are very pleased.  I would literally sing your praises, but people usually plug their ears and ask me to stop when I do that sort of thing.  Bill in Garland


I couldn't be happier with the bathtub refinishing job by Sharp Refinishing.  My first clue that this is a stand-out company was that Debbie in their office confirmed our appointment a week before they were to come!  I loved that, since another company I had also contacted never had a real person answering their phone and they somehow never got around to returning my calls.

The next clue was that Debbie called the day the guys were to come to make sure everything was still as scheduled! Loved that! And when the guys got here, they were friendly and polite.  They took very good care of my house while they were doing very messy work - I didn't have to clean up after them at all! And finally, when my husband needed some advice about putting the overflow thing-y back in, he called Jim (on a holiday, no less!), who told him exactly what to do.   Reminded me of the service in the "good old days" when promptness, courtesy, and service were valued!  Thanks guys!  Liz and Aaron in Richardson


Mark and I want to thank Jim and Debbie for the absolute "magic trick" that Jim performed on our old bathtub that we were sure was going to have to be replaced.  Debbie was a joy to talk to, and set the job up with me by phone and was able to give me a direct estimate without even seeing the tub.

Jim came out on time and had such patience with me asking so many questions.  An unexpected problem came up with some hardware I was going to have to have a plumber come out and look at.  Instead, he replaced all the new hardware himself and saved me a plumber call!  He didn't charge me anything extra and was a perfect gentleman.

Before he came out, I had never heard of refinishing tubs, but now I'd do it again.  As soon as I can, I will put up the before and after pictures to show what the tub looks like.  Till then, if your tub looks worn, call up Jim and Debbie and let them do their magic.  It's worth it.  Thanks again.  Mark and Tamie in Blue Mound


Hi Jim, I wanted to say thanks for the fantastic job on both of my bathrooms.  The tubs, tile and countertops are beautiful!  The finished product is way beyond my expectations, and looks brand new.  I was very impressed with your professionalism and the quality of your work, and I would recommend you to anyone.  You made the whole process go very smoothly and it was great working with you.  You'll be hearing from me again, because I definitely want to do the kitchen countertops now that I've seen how great the bathroom countertops look.  (Oh, and a big thanks for your consideration of my cats!)  Carla in Euless


Jim and Debbie, we have had loads of compliments on the two upstairs baths!  Thanks for your help with our home!   MaryClare in Dallas


Wow!  Fantastic, beautiful, unbelievable!  What can I say?  The work you did on my antique vintage porcelain farm sink far exceeds what I had hoped could be accomplished.  I am incredibly delighted and happy!  The deep gouges in the sink itself are no longer even slightly noticeable.  The worn bottom, gray from the metal showing through, is now white and shiny.  All 4 chipped corners and a dent in the very visible front edge are now repaired beautifully.

And you also understood I did not want it to look 'brand new'.  I wanted some of the character to remain since it is to be installed in the kitchen of an old farmhouse.  It's perfect.  It still retains that character, but the appearance makes you wonder how something that old could still have such an incredible, shiny appearance, and to have suffered no damage.  You truly are a master!  Plus you showed up as promised, charged what was agreed to, and were very funny and personable on top of everything else.

Please feel free to use my recommendation on your website.  I will sincerely sing your praises to any and all in need of your services without hesitation.  Paul in North Richland Hills


I wanted to thank you both for doing such a great job on refinishing my Master and Hall bath countertops.  I am very happy with the quality of your work and with the service that you provided.  If for any reason someone wants a reference or would like to see the finished product, please don't hesitate to call me.  Don in Dallas


Jim arrived on time and started the work right away, setting up several large box fans with filters attached to catch any dust or spray.  He worked very hard to fill in and sand the damaged areas in the tub. Once he was ready to spray, he carefully covered surfaces which might have been affected by any spray in the air. It took several hours to complete all of the work, but once it was done, the tub looked like it was new.

There was some odor related to the spray, so Jim left a fan, which I used to vent the odor through a window. By the time he returned the next day to remove the protective paper, install the new drain and re-caulk the tub, the odor was completely gone. Jim answered all of my questions and offered tips regarding the care of the tub. He helped me locate the type of replacement drain I should purchase, by phoning local plumbing supply companies to explain what he needed. He was very helpful and informative about the whole process.  We are so pleased with the beautiful tub that we almost hate to use it!  Barbara in Carrollton


Jim, the bathroom lavatory looks great, and is really holding up.  Thanks for the great job!  Ed in Irving


Jim, Great Work!  We are very happy with the job!!!  Brandon and Tina in Dallas


Jim, our bathtub looks great, and we really enjoyed visiting with you while you were here!  When we are ready to tackle the kitchen, we will hook up with you.  Lisa and Mark in Colleyville


Our bathroom looks great - we are very thrilled with the way the tub and shower looks.  What a great job!  Ron and Nikki in Dallas

Jim, we really appreciate your attention to detail - you are the best!  Rod in Garland

Jim, we are very pleased and satisfied with the recent refinishing of our master bath jetted tub - you are truly a professional!  You were meticulous in your prep work by covering up most everything before starting the process.  You changed our outdated pink marbled jetted tub into a sparkling white porcelain jetted tub to complement our new master bath shower and granite countertops - like icing on the cake!  We also knew up front exactly what the total cost would be and what would be included in the cost.  We will highly recommend you to others (as someone recommended you to us).  Jan and Gary in Burleson


Jim, you refinished my tub about 3 years ago, and I chipped it, so you came back - on a Saturday no less! - to repair it.  You do excellent work!  Dottie in Irving


I want your prospective customers to know that my job went very well.  You gave me an estimate over the phone, showed up when promised, did a fine job, finished on time, and cleaned up after yourself.  My refinished tub and cultured marble countertop looks great!  Jay in Arlington


Jim, thank you so much for doing our bathtub and sink refinishing.  We have never met a cleaner, more efficient crew!  Maria in Dallas


We appreciate very much the care you took in refinishing our bathtubs.  Both tubs look sparkling new, and we have received compliments from the family on them.  We're giving out your business cards to others, too.  Charles in Richardson


Thank you, Jim, for the excellent work you performed on my bathroom surfaces.  You were very helpful with any questions or concerns I may have had.  And you offered additional suggestions to me in order to help make the process flow more easily.  You were very meticulous with your work, and I got the sense that you really cared that the end result was the best you could possibly deliver.  The quality of work appears to be top class and durable.  I look forward to enjoying my new bathrooms for many years to come.  I would recommend your services to anyone - thanks!  Sal in Lewisville


We just wanted you to know how happy we are with the work you did at our house.  You are a miracle worker and a true artist.  Thank you!  Mr. & Mrs. Bogert in Little Elm


Jim, you turned our ugly bathroom into a showplace!  Our worn-out, cracked, and dirty pink tile and tub are now sparkling clean and just the right shade of white.  I appreciate your attention to detail and personalized service.  Thank you for saving me the trouble and mess of a total remodel!  Matt and Valerie in Waxahachie


Jim, thank you for the great work you did on our bathtub.  The information you posted on your website helped us in determining who we would work with best.  All of our questions were answered thoroughly and our fears about the process alleviated.  The bathtub turned out beautifully!  I appreciate the numerous follow-ups regarding warranty information and care.  Your integrity and performance on our project speaks for itself!  Penni in Dallas


Jim, thank you for a perfect job refinishing our tub.  I was very impressed with your professionalism and attention to detail.  You were meticulous and neat, and you took great care with your home - the whole process was painless.  I have had quite a few remodeling projects involving workers in my house, and it has been a struggle to find quality workmanship.  I have to say that your quality of work is far superior to anything that I have seen in my experience.  The bathtub looks great - in fact, it looks brand new!  Linda in Grapevine


Thanks so much, Jim, for a beautiful job on the tub and lavatories!  Dottie in Dallas


We wanted to say thank you, and let others know what a great job you did for us.  We always try to use independent business folks whenever possible, and we were really rewarded with great service this time!  The time and effort you put in, on a holiday no less, was incredible.  Your gentle nature and positive attitude helped us get through the day.

We have recommended your service to a number of friends who were amazed at the job you did on our tub.  Thanks again for all you did!  John and Kathy in Dallas


Jim, you did meticulously fine work on both bathroom sinks.  As you know, one of the sinks was an unusual shade of beige, and we want to thank you for going to the trouble of color-matching it to the toilet bowl.  I never expected you to do that!  I'll tell everyone I know that if you want a job done right, call Jim Sharp.  You're a great guy to work with!  Mr. and Mrs. Dellis in Fort Worth


I am SO satisfied with the job that you did on my sink and tub.  You stand behind your product and work.  I've used your service for years, and you've always been very prompt and courteous - a real pleasure to do business with.  Bill in Fort Worth


Jim, thank you for doing an excellent job on our two bathtubs and countertop, especially in masking off everything so that none of the product went where it shouldn't.  You cleaned up after your work each day so well that you would never know you had been here, except for what you accomplished that day.  You were pleasant and courteous, and we felt good having you in our home.  You are a hard worker!  Mr. and Mrs. Johnson in Cedar Hill


I couldn't be happier than I am with the super job you did on our bathtub!  Being a "senior", and also being married to one, the non-slip mat that you installed has made a world of difference.  I no longer have any dread of slipping or falling while bathing or showering.  Not only did you do a fine job of refinishing the tub, but you also kept it neat and clean at all times, and when you finished, there was no trace of anything except a clean, beautiful bath.

Please suggest the non-slip mat to others.  I think it could save many an accident to older people, or anyone for that matter.  Thanks again for a job very well done!  Mr. and Mrs. Brooks in Dallas


Every time I walk into my bathroom, I smile.  I am so pleased with the refinishing job you did, Jim!  The tub looks brand new, all shiny and gleaming - you really gave it new life.  I also appreciated the respect and care for my place.  I was impressed by the time you took to carefully cover and mask off the entire room to minimize any opportunity for damage or dust.  You even caulked an old crack on the tile floor that had nothing to do with my tub.  Thanks so much!  Marsha in Dallas


Jim, we are so happy with your work on our tub.  Everyone who has seen it was impressed with your work.  It was a pleasure to meet both you and your helper.  Hope you know how much your effort is appreciated!  John and Sallie in Dallas


Jim, thank you for the superior job of refinishing the bathtub.  It looks better than brand new.  I cannot believe the difference, and you did it in such a timely manner.  Since I found you through your website, I have to tell you I had some reservations, but I am so glad I followed my instincts on hiring you and not the guy my husband had found.  If you are ever in need of a recommendation, please call on me so that I can let them know the quality of work that they can expect.  I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone asking for your service!  Patricia in Dallas


Jim, your website is great and full of good information.  Thank you so much for the great job you did on my bathroom countertops - I am very pleased with the results.  Thanks so much also for taking on the task of polishing the kitchen counter - it looks great and doesn't show my poor job of sanding!  I really appreciate you working so carefully and being so particular ... the results show!  Jann in Arlington


You did an excellent job on our countertops - they are really very pretty!  In fact, it just looks fabulous!  I called my realtor and told her to add your name to her list of people she uses for this type of work.  I appreciate your hard work and attention to detail.  Susan in Dallas


I really can't thank you enough for your wonderful effort in transforming our tub.  My wife was absolutely amazed when she returned home to see her shiny new tub.  Patrick in Dallas


No matter how much or how often I cleaned our shower, the mildew kept coming back.  It looked horrible!  But after you refinished it, I never had another problem with it!  Not only did I get a beautiful, clean, white shower, but whatever you did sealed it, too, so the mildew never came back!

You were very efficient, courteous, and cleaned up completely after the job.  I will highly recommend Sharp Porcelain Refinishing to anyone who wants refinishing work done in their home!  Barbara and Harry


As you know, my bathtub was very discolored because of age and wear, and was hard to clean even with a harsh chemical.  Now that you've refinished it, it blends in great with my new ceramic tile.  I love the smooth surface.  Thank you for paying careful attention to all the details.  I will highly recommend you to anyone looking for this kind of service, because you demonstrated such professionalism in your workmanship on my job.  Tonya in Grapevine


We were considering getting  new kitchen countertops, so we checked into the price difference between replacing and  refinishing.  We were told that replacing would take two or three weeks, and we wouldn't be able to use our kitchen during that time.  So we asked you to give us an estimate for refinishing them (since you had refinished our shower 14 years earlier) and were amazed at the cost and time differences.  You did it in two days and it was very cost effective.  I had my choice of many colors and types of texture, from slate to the look of marble.  The beautiful, durable, and hard-surfaced counters enhance the look of my cabinets and I feel like I have a new kitchen.  Thank you, Jim, for being so professional and personable, and for always keeping the work area neat and clean.  I will always highly recommend Sharp Porcelain Refinishing.  Harry and Barbara in Grapevine


Thank you for your work on my bathtub.  It looks great!  Justin in Dallas


I just wanted you to know how much I am enjoying my shiny, new refinished tub.  I love it and want to thank you for doing a real good job!  Mrs. Miller in Ferris
