On Thursday August 6th I called Re-Bath to ask about having the door moved to where we all believe it should go. I was told Jennifer would call me back. (We got a lot of lip service like that too, but very little actual returned calls.-Hal)
A week later on August 13th I called Re-Bath again saying I had not heard from anyone yet, and was told by Anna that Mark would call me. I phoned Mark directly and he told me he would call me soon.
A week later On August 20th I called Re-Bath again and Anna said she spoke to Mark and he would call me. So I called Mark’s number from his business card. I left a message on his phone.
Mark called me back and told me he was taking time off because he was having some problems with his daughter and that he told Anna and that she or Jennifer should call me. (Always with the dramatic excuses…-Hal)
A week later on August 27 I called Re-Bath yet again and spoke to Anna she apologized and said she would take care of it. (That's three weeks...-Hal)
I then emailed Matt and Melissa and asked them for help. He emailed back saying sorry and that he would get Anna to take care of it for me and said sorry.
(If you weren’t counting that was pretty much the month of August she spent waiting to speak to someone at Re-Bath. ANd why couldn't Anna helt when first contacted? Makes you wonder about the reality and real value of that “Lifetime Warranty” doesn’t it?-Hal)

After All That, It Still Wasn’t Right…
On Thursday July 30th we talked about how late they stayed finishing up each time they were here and how it took 7 days and a lot of time dealing with the photo girl, and a ton of phone calls from Re-Bath and not two days like we were told it would take to do the job and how late they were each time they arrived.
I felt bad and didn’t want to get them into trouble since they were such nice guys and did such a nice job, but then we talked about how we had spent nearly eight thousand dollars and did not like how it looked we talked some more about what to do. (You are way too nice!-Hal)
A couple of friends of ours saw it and said you should just ask them to move it, it didn’t look right to them either. So we decided to call.
On Wednesday August 5th I went to the Re-Bath’s show room in Framingham, to see what their Shower doors looked like. To see if we were maybe complaining about it and it was really right. They were all placed in the middle where we felt ours should go. I spoke to a man I think Paul maybe Peter, and he said “no problem just call the number you have on the business card and they will take care of it.” He agreed with me that it belonged in the center too. (Let’s see how this actually works once someone responsible for the work is brought in shall we?-Hal)

Punctuality is not a Re-Bath trait…
On Tuesday July 28th Melissa arrived at 11:30 am.
Not for nothing… but I have been rescheduling my work for these people for 15 days now and it is starting to get really frustrating that no one from Re-Bath owns a friggen watch! (And what about that 1 day, 2 day no stress installation...?-Hal)
I had to work around their schedules, cancel appointments and dates and I am not happy that they are always late. …ok, this will be the last of it forever!
She took the photos, I held the stupid sign and smiled for them. And she was gone in about 45 minutes.
I am so glad it is over… FINALLY!
Later I mailed in my warrantee card for my shower, that I got from the one of the workers or Chris, I don’t remember which one.
The next day Wednesday July 29th my husband and I talked about the door on the shower and how it looks. We are very happy with the looks of the whole bathroom with the exception of the shower door. We decided we can live with the shower being 31 inches not 32 but we really don’t like the door where it is. It gives no room inside of the shower only a little less than 1/8th inch, and a ledge of 2 plus inches on the outside to gather dust. The overall measurements were 4 inches. The door itself took up almost 2 inches. So it really needed to go back one inch from the inside of the shower to look right and give us the room we wanted in the first place.
We also noticed after showering that the shower head is not centered as requested. George took off the shower faucet dial and turned it to the bottom so now when we shower, we won’t change the heat, it took George 5 minutes to do what Dan said can’t be done! (So many common elements in how Re-Bath refuses to do what the customers order and are originally sold are in this story too. Not by coincidence, but by the very nature of how Re-Bath agents are taught to behave.-Hal)

Two days turns into a week...
On Monday July 27th. It was a really long week with no bathroom.
Where the hell is Dan?
Dan arrives and it is 11:47 am to finish putting in my bathroom fixtures before noon, YEAH RIGHT!
He was polite and cleaned up after he was done. (Nice compromise?-Hal)
However I had to cancel my cat’s vet appointment, and the registry will now have to wait till tomorrow, which caused me to make my date to meet my friend Rose to be pushed off till next week too since I am not going to the registry now and tomorrow.
(These Re-Bath people are either ignorant of the problems they cause by their repeated tardiness, or worse. They seem to not care of the repercussions their failed actions have on those who are paying a premium for services not rendered.-Hal)
I have other plans and work, all because I was nice to him and he was late in return.
No good deed goes unpunished!
(Yes, exactly. Try to be nice and accommodating, what do you get from these people? Disrespected and inconvenienced.-Hal)
Just as Dan was putting in the sink he hit the wall opposite the shower and put a huge ding in it. (We had the same problems with our inept installers, all they want is to get out and collect the cash, repairing damage they caused was not something they felt obligated to do, no matter what they say about fixing it.-Hal)
He apologized and I said I would take care of it; I just wanted him out at this point! I was really bummed because they are or were all new walls, God I want this over! (We know that feeling…-Hal)
I asked Dan to move the shower dial too, I explained that we hit it and it changes the temperature while we shower, the dial is facing up and while showering a few times my husband turned the water full hot and it was kind of scary.
Dan said it can’t be done. (We thought Re-Bath were pros, real professionals... What about the part that the customer is right?-Hal)
I said you can’t just turn the handle to face down?
He said no you can’t, it only fits one way. He finished at 1:55pm. (Wow, only two hours late. That sarcasm font would be good here too.-Hal)
7 days total not 2 like promised and I could have worked this morning too.
I paid in full the remainder of the $7,858.00 which was $2,000.00 and was glad it was over! (But it’s never really over is it?-Hal)
In the afternoon I got a call from Re-Bath asking to come back to take the photos of the after, Matt asked me to smile big and hold a Re-Bath sign. (Wonder if they'll include a shot of ding they put in the wall?-Hal)
I said fine.
He said Melissa could be here on Wednesday or Thursday.
And I lied because I really wanted this over with, I was tired of hearing from Re-Bath and tired of a week of men working in my home, when I was told two days,
I was tired of no toilet and sink…so I lied and said I was going away on Tuesday night and wouldn’t be back for two weeks. If he wanted the photo he would have to come the next day. (Good for you!-Hal)
He hung up made a few calls I guess, and called me back saying Tuesday morning between 8am and 9am Melissa would be here. I said ok between 8 and 9am right? He said yes. What a headache! (Yep, Re-Bath is the headache that keeps on aching...-Hal)

Our guest’s story continues…
Mark continued to install the shower alone. Mark was very nice and answered any questions I had. He was really polite and great to deal with.
At the time when Mark was hanging the shower door he called me in to show me where it would go, I said great. He stood it up in the center of the shower ledge area. I agreed it was perfect.
But when he was done later however, it was not where he said it would be,
(We had the exact same thing happen. Seems to be the way they work.-Hal),
it was less than a 1/8th of an inch from the inside of the shower, he explained that was because the door frame was in the way. (The door frame that was not supposed to be there according to what Chris said, I asked for and, he and Dan had all said ok to.)
I was not happy.
It was the reason I replaced the old tub, just this problem is now on the other side. I said Oh but I don’t like that, it looks off it looks wrong.
He said there was nothing he could do the door frame was in the way. I said well it wasn’t supposed to be there anyway remember?
He said there was nothing he could do. I told him I didn’t like the way it looked. He apologized and again said there is nothing that can be done.
Mark had finished up at 11:05 pm. The tub was in and I was tired. On his way out Mark said he would be back on Friday the 24th around 8am to put in the floor.
Later in bed my husband and I talked and I said everything else is really looking good so far, but the shower door looks wrong.
We both were disappointed.
On Wednesday July 22nd George and I talked about the shower size, it seems to be too small, not just the door but the shower at the bottom area, we measured it and it is only 30 3/8th inches wide not 32 like ordered.
We were both bummed! (Can you say Bait & Switch?-Hal)
On Friday July 24th Mark arrived at 12:45pm and explained that he had to finish up another job. (Always an exscuse, never a resolution. Was he late to the ealier job? Our bet is it was just another excuse based on our experience.-Hal)
He went right to work he was very polite and covered all of my rugs. It again was a pleasure even though he was late and I could have worked this morning.
I asked again about the shower door, he said he wasn’t able to put it where it should go but that it was good there where it was. I said is this a 32 inch shower? He said yes it is. He put down the floor and finished at 11:10pm. He said he would be back at 9am the next day to grout. He was really friendly very polite and did a really good job and I have no complaints about Re-Bath or their workers, (We’re gonna interject a big NOT AT THIS TIME comment here…-Hal), other than the shower door not being in the center where it belongs and because the shower is too small the door placement makes it even smaller.
It looks fudged. (Um,'cause it is...?-Hal)
Matt from Re-Bath called that afternoon to see if he could send Melissa to take the after photo that night, I explained that they were not done and won’t finish till Monday. He said ok he would call back.
He wasn’t surprised that it was taking so long and I wondered why. (Yeah, not a surprise to the Re-Bath folks who know about the scam…-Hal)
On Saturday July 25th Mark arrived a 1:09pm he told us his bank account had been broken into somehow and that he spent the morning with the bank.
(Always some excuse laced with drama, something to make the customer feel sorry for them, it too is part of the SOP for them, and they tried to play it on us too. Shameful.-Hal)
Mark grouted and finished up at 7pm. The floor looked great. No toilet or sink till Monday but it looks great. Mark gave me a receipt and asked for the balance, I gave Mark a check for $3238.oo Leaving a balance of $2000.00 since Dan was not coming back till Monday to finish and I wouldn’t pay it off till it was done. He said ok he understood.
I stressed to him to tell Dan how important it was for him to be done here before 12:00 noon since I had plans for Monday at noon.
He said he would tell him and said that Dan really appreciated me letting him wait till Monday. I hate that they start so late, and work so late; I could have worked all week in the mornings. (Well, to them it’s all about them, not what they claim in the ads or sales pitches.-Hal)

Timeliness is a virtue. Re-Bath apparently has no virtue.
On Monday July 20th They called me in the morning around 11:15 am and asked if they could take the photos in the morning of the 21st? I was kind of annoyed but said fine again. I just wanted a new shower. I could have worked today too! (More careless attitude regarding the customer…-Hal)
On Tuesday July 21st , My family all got up early to shower, since we can’t shower for 24 hour after the install. We all finished by 7 am since that was the agreed upon time to start. The photo girl showed up at 11:35am, That really irked me, we all could have taken our time this morning!
(This comes as no surprise to Hal on the late issue and the effects of inconvenience directly caused by Re-Bath agents.-Hal)
The workers Mark and Dan arrived later while she was taking photos about 11:45am. She took her photos and was gone by 11:50am. She was nice and polite, (just not punctual?-Hal).
The workers talked in the driveway till 12:30pm,
(We had the same problem, wasting time to the detriment of the customer and the quality as well as timelyness of the job.-Hal)
I assume they are on lunch break, they haven’t even started yet. At 12:38pm the workers covered my carpets, to begin work, they were very polite and it was a total pleasure having them work in my home.
Dan the plumber started the job. He went over everything he would do and explained it all to me first. He said there was no problem asking questions and to feel free. It was all very nice. Then he said that he was told to finish my job on Saturday or be fired. (Yeah, right.-Hal) He was upset, and he asked me and he said he would appreciate it if he could instead of coming back on Saturday to put back all of my fixtures, could he come back on Monday the 27th first thing in the morning? He said he wanted to spend some time with his kids.
(Yep, guilt the customer into allowing the agents to get away with not following the agreed upon timetable…Classic Re-Bath…-Hal)
I wasn’t happy about losing a whole entire week to this job that was supposed to take only two days …but I agreed because I felt bad that the guy was told do it or be fired, and he wanted to see his kids. I couldn’t say no. He was a decent guy who I felt deserved a break. I checked my appointment book with him and said ok but you have to be done here by noon on Monday, I have plans. He said ok no problem and thanked me very, very much.
(Our guest is too nice. We used to be nice too, but after being burned by the Re-Bath lies, we felt used. - Hal)
I explained to both men what we hated about the old shower, which included the shower head not being centered, the side of the tub that was not centered and thus not giving enough room. The wall that looked like it was moldy. The leak to the floor, which ruined the floor and wall. I explained that the whole bathroom was new and the only two problems were the floor and shower. I explained how we wanted the shower wall to come out to the hinge and how the more room in the shower the better for us. Everyone agreed the men said that this was easy to do. I am very happy with the men they listened and seemed get exactly what we need.
The two men tore out all the fixtures in the bathroom, they ripped out the old tub and the floor. Dan said to me that he was surprised that we didn’t keep our old faucets since they are brand new and nicer than the ones we are replacing them with and match they our bathroom sink and towel racks, I explained that Chris told us we had to have the whole shower and faucets from Re-Bath or it voids the warrantee, he said that’s not true these are Delta too.
(Wow, what are the odds, a R-Bath agent lied…-Hal) (
Ever feel the need for someone to invent a sarcasm font? We do...-Hal)At some point in the day Dan left, he said I will see you Monday morning! I said don’t be late please! He said ok!
(Do you believe he will come back on time? We don’t. He works for Re-Bath…You can find out what actually happened later, stay tuned.-Hal)

And it just keeps getting “better”:
On Wednesday July 15th I got a call from Re-Bath asking if they can reschedule for this following week of the 20th of July.
I said ok, Great!
She said they would start on Tuesday the 21st between 7-8am.
I agreed.
She said that was the shower only and they would come back on the 24th for the floor and finish on the 25th a Saturday.
I said but what happened to two days?
She again said the floor takes a while, I said ok.
I rescheduled my work again to accommodate them. (Re-Bath has no consideration for the customer once they get some money, no matter how inconvenient they are to them, it will be the “customers fault” for some reason.-Hal)
I don’t like the idea that now there were 3 days separating the two jobs and that I would be without a toilet or sink for 4 days, but hey it is only four days, and I am really looking forward to a nice big shower!!! (Yeah, only four days…-Hal)
On Thursday July 16th, a man from Re-Bath, named Matt Phillips called to ask me about the nightmare of a time we had replacing our old tub, He told me he had heard about it and he said it would be great for sales. I said I had the whole story on an email, very detailed and he was welcome to it. He asked if a girl, I believe named Melissa, could come by to take photos of the tub and me with a sad face to show the before and then could she come again later to show the after? I said ok, it sounded like fun. He said she would be at my house on Friday the 17th between 8:30 and 9am. So I said ok.
On Friday July 17th I waited till 12:00 when Re-Bath called to say they couldn’t make it and that they could come on Monday the 20th. I said fine. I am a little bummed that he waited so long to let me know, I would have worked today. (Sound familiar? Anyone? Talk about indifference at the very least, but really it's total disregard for the convenience of the customer. Very rude, very Re-Bath. –Hal)
(You may recall the agreed upon completion date was 7-30-09. They hadn’t even started the job, yet they are delaying it almost a week, and extending the work time by an additional 50%. And we’ll begin our counting at this point… -Hal)
More to come soon…
I said ok, Great!
She said they would start on Tuesday the 21st between 7-8am.
I agreed.
She said that was the shower only and they would come back on the 24th for the floor and finish on the 25th a Saturday.
I said but what happened to two days?
She again said the floor takes a while, I said ok.
I rescheduled my work again to accommodate them. (Re-Bath has no consideration for the customer once they get some money, no matter how inconvenient they are to them, it will be the “customers fault” for some reason.-Hal)
I don’t like the idea that now there were 3 days separating the two jobs and that I would be without a toilet or sink for 4 days, but hey it is only four days, and I am really looking forward to a nice big shower!!! (Yeah, only four days…-Hal)
On Thursday July 16th, a man from Re-Bath, named Matt Phillips called to ask me about the nightmare of a time we had replacing our old tub, He told me he had heard about it and he said it would be great for sales. I said I had the whole story on an email, very detailed and he was welcome to it.

And to continue with our guest’s story, please read on:
We asked Chris if we could use the faucets that we have since they match our bathroom and are less than a year old but he said no, that in order to have a life time warrantee we needed to have them replaced, he told us what colors were available so we went with gold. (Bet Re-Bath takes them during the install...-Hal)
When we finished up, He informed us that Re-Bath will call us to set a time. That the whole process will take only two days since we were having a new floor installed by Re-Bath too.
Normally it is 24 hours but the floor will take a day as well.
(There goes the One-Day installation they charge a premium for… -Hal)
He gave us a copy of the papers stating that the job will be completed by 7-30-09. He gave us a price of $7,858.00. We gave him a deposit of $2,620.00 and we agreed on the prices and times and dates. When he left we were very happy with our decision. This is looking really great so far!! I need to come up with $2000 more between now and then since all I saved was 6k. I think I can sell my car.
On June 26 I called Chris to make sure he ordered a 32 inch tub. I was afraid he did not since it is not written on the form that he gave us. (Re-Bath is notorious for the salesmen making promises to the customer and not documenting them, in the end, the customer is the victim.-Hal) He said no problem the customer is always right, (Remember that for later.-Hal) and that the 32 inch shower was ordered. I thanked him.
On Tuesday July 14 Re-Bath called to schedule an appointment. They set up a date of Aug 3rd for the tub to be replaced they were to return on Aug 4th to tear up the floor and then again on the 5th to lay the floor then grout.
I asked why so long that Chris had said two days, Not three? She said well the floor takes a lot of time. I said you also told me that the job would be completed by the 30th? She said they were very busy. (Always an excuse for every broken agreement or promise, it is the only way Re-Bath knows how to proceed.-Hal) I said ok it was not a big deal. So I planned to have everything done that week and I rearranged my schedule to fit it all. I can’t wait this is going to be sooooo good!!
(It sounds like our guest is happy at this point even with some of the problems encountered. Stay tuned, it will become a story all too familiar and upsetting to other Re-Bath customers.-Hal)
