What AAA's 10-year warranty actually says

First Year: No Charge

Second Year: 99.00 service charge for touch-up or total refinish

Third Year: 99.00 service charge/touch up or '30% of your base tub cost' total refinish

Fifth Year: 99.00 service charge/touch up or '50% of your base tub cost' total refinish

Seventh Year: 99.00 service charge/touch up or '70% of your base tub cost' total refinish

Tenth Year: 99.00 service charge/touch up or '95% of your base tub cost' total refinish

Homeowner must call immediately after surface failure is noticed. Waiting until there are large areas of failure will void your warranty.

WARRANTY IS TRANSFERABLE (must contact us) & TERMS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. INVOICE NAME MUST MATCH HOMEOWNER PUBLIC RECORDS

ONE YEAR WARRANTY ON THE FOLLOWING: Wall and tile refinishing

NO WARRANTY ON THE FOLLOWING: Any surface repairs (chips, cracks, etc), sinks, spas, floors

Final determination of the nature of the damage is at the full discretion of the company.

Quoted verbatim from aaabathtubrefinishingco.com/warranty.html, verified September 2026.

What that means in plain English

In plain terms: year one is free. From year two on, every claim starts with a $99 service charge, and if the tub needs a full re-do instead of a touch-up, you pay a percentage of the original price: 30% in year three, climbing year by year to 95% in year ten. A warranty claim in year ten costs about the same as a new refinish.

Coverage narrows further from there. Wall and tile work carries a one-year warranty. Repairs, sinks, spas, and floors carry none. Waiting too long to report a failure voids coverage, the terms can change without notice, and the company alone decides what counts as a covered failure. On the plus side, the warranty is transferable if you contact them.

Our written 10-year warranty has no proration schedule and no per-visit service charge. That difference is the whole comparison.

Common questions

AAA Bathtub Refinishing Co. FAQ

It lasts ten years, but it is prorated. Their warranty page (quoted verbatim above, verified September 2026) charges a $99 service charge for touch-ups from year two on, and a full re-refinish costs 30% of the original price in year three, rising to 95% in year ten. Our 10-year warranty has no proration schedule and no per-visit service charge.

Per their published schedule: the $99 service charge covers a touch-up. A total refinish under warranty costs 60% of your base tub cost in year six, 80% in year eight, 90% in year nine, and 95% in year ten.
