Access Bath Systems is a South Bay-based family business The company was created in response to frequent requests for easy access in the bathroom. Owner Doug Martes has run a bathtub & tile refinishing company for more than 21 years, and saw the need for an affordable answer to bathroom remodel for accessibility.
Refinishing customers would frequently ask about options for elderly or handicapped relatives. Bathroom remodels can be costly, and many seniors are on a fixed income. So Mr. Martes decided to devise an answer, and designed the EZ-Step process. Technicians cut down cast iron, steel or fiberglass bathtubs to create a walk-in shower.

I was recommended to Martes Refinishing from another company in Huntington Beach. I called the number several times and left a message but nobody picks up nor returns my call. I even called the 866 number from accessbath website but that number was no longer in service. Such a shame since this company came highly recommended and all the stellar reviews. All the recent reviews are from year 2020. Maybe they are no longer in business??

Doug is the consummate professional, showed up on time, gave an honest estimate, then delivered 100% plus. I am so happy with my tub finish, looks brand new. He installed a grab bar, which is great. He did the job quickly, following all Covid protocols, using a ventilation system he designed.
I felt very comfortable with him in my home, he wore a mask the entire time.
So happy with his work, thank you Doug!

Doug refinished my 70s Santa Monica bathtub a year ago and it still looks like new! He really knows what he's doing, cares about the quality of his work, and pays close attention to detail. He and his wife run the business and both are very professional--a true pleasure to deal with. I can't recommend him highly enough!

I did not use the services of Martes Refinishing, however I am writing this review because I wanted to share my appreciation for their professionalism, honesty and integrity.
Our condo property had an old tub that I thought needed to be refinished, so I contacted Martes Refinishing. I immediately got a call back from Doug and we setup a date-time for him to come evaluate the tub and provide me with an estimate. Much to our surprise Doug enlightened me that tub was in great condition, did not need to be refinished and just needed to be cleaned up. He even provided me with detailed instructions

Doug Martes did an outstanding job on our old tub that had been glazed 30 years ago and was in horrible condition. I wanted to keep it because it's deep and you just can't beat a cast iron tub for holding the heat of the bath water. The sink was pretty much in the same condition, with some rust areas that could've been irreparable, but Doug did it and it looks new. Great guy and a joy to have around!

Doug did a wonderful job on the tub and shower in our rental house, which were badly in need of a facelift. We also had him do the bathtub in our own home. Everything now looks like new! Doug is friendly, professional, prompt and does great quality work. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have this type of work done.

Doug Martes did an outstanding job with my mid century tub and bathroom sink reglaze. He is thorough and thoughtful and such a great personable guy! He arrived on time and finished the job on schedule and in point price wise. My 65 year old bathroom looks brand new. I highly recommend Martes Refinihsing!

Here is the thing, I got my bath refinished about 6 years ago by Martes Refinishing. They gave me a 7 year warranty on their work as long as I followed the guidelines they laid out. It is 6 years later and my tub began to peel, I called, they came out right away and finished the tub again. This is an excellent company that does excellent work and has EXCELLENT customer service. I won't hesitate to recommend Martes to friends, family or anyone who is looking for a good refinisher and I will definitely use them again!

We had a fantastic experience working with Doug!
My husband and I bought our first house last year--a 1964 ranch-style home. The previous owner never made updates to the house. The hall bathroom had the original pink tub. We couldn't stand the color and we always covered it with a shower curtain.
We received bids for a complete remodel of the tub and tile from a few contractors. The bids ranged between $8,000 and $10,000--money we didn't want to commit to right now. So instead, we investigated re-glazing to make the tub look better, and to save money.
