About The Bath Authority
The Bath Authority is no longer accepting new projects. Existing customers will continue to receive installation and service support through Great Day Improvements.
The Bath Authority (thebathauthority.com) has 45 customer reviews on The Fair Hearing, with an average rating of 4.1 out of 5.
We had John Decarlo and he came out on time to assess our bathroom and give us a quote. He was very professional and informative: he answered our questions and pointed out all options for us to consider that would affect the cost of the project. We felt comfortable with his presentation and we had no areas of concern unanswered. We decided to go with the quote because we wanted exceptional work and quality. The rating of 4 stars is due to our remodel only being on order at this time. We will rerate our experiences when the shower install is completed. Final score will depend on actual quality of work, materials, and timeliness.

1st They were to come out on Friday but…
1st They were to come out on Friday but didn't show up till Sat. to install our shower. 2nd they were to keep our old shower head but throw it away. They did reimburse us for that. 3rd I had shut off valves already, they took them out said they would replace them, but they didn't have any with them and were going to charge me 200.00 to go get some. I said no thanks but got angry and when they called told them why should I have to pay more for something I already had. so they talked to someone and came out and put new ones on for free. 4th they dropped a tool on the floor and skimmed a small round hole in my linoleum floor when they replaced to shut off valves one of them sprayed something on it but didn't tell me anything about what it was for and I still have a black hole on my gray linoleum floor.

Total failure
I ordered a shower door through Bath Authority via Lowe's and it all started out ok. Then the door was damaged in transit, then there was a mechanical or technical issue that caused a delay, now there's no tracking information. The damaged door was returned to their warehouse (signed for by A. Jones) but no replacement was sent and I can't reach them to inquire about my $500 order. It's now holding a job (and a check) up and the customer and myself have no idea what's going on. It doesn't help that they don't have a website and the phone number listed on Google for them is disconnected. Why Lowe's does business with them, I'll never know.

I was impressed at how they cleaned up…
I was impressed at how they cleaned up after installing our new shower. They laid cloth drop clothes down thru out the house on the way to the bathroom as soon as they arrived. I love the material the walls are made of. Very easy to clean. The grab bar is wonderful. Were done by mid-afternoon. Would highly recommend D.J. and Alex. They also left instructions as to how to care for the shower and glass doors. Highly recommend The Bath Authority

Fast turnaround from the time project…
Fast turnaround from the time project was ordered and install which took three days. But it was more important to me that the install was done properly rather than fast. And it was. Gabriel clearly took pride in his work and was more than willing to answer any questions I had. He involved us whenever there was an issue or question. The one problem I would mention is there didn't seem to be a good coordination between the salesman and the installer. Gabriel ran into a couple of issues that could have been handled easier if the salesman had alerted him to them before the job began. But Gabriel took care of them in a professional manner. The bottom line is we have a new walk in shower that is exactly what we were hoping for.

We met with a salesperson 5/9
We met with a salesperson 5/9. We surmise he is no longer with the company, because we could not reach him after the installer arrived 6/5, and we immediately became aware there were issues with what was promised, and what was going to happen.
First, we were told it would all be done in one day. I even pressed the salesman on this, as they do a complete demo of the old shower, before installing the new, and ours was three walls and a ceiling full of tile. He assured us the “crew” enjoys demos, and makes quick work of it. Unfortunately, rather than a “crew,” we had one Ione installer, who knew he wouldn’t finish in one day. It took three.
Further, we figured with the ceiling demoed, replacing the old, rusty light would be super simple, without having to access the wiring from the attic, so we asked if that would be something the installers could do, if we supplied the replacement fixture. Salesman agreed, and we had him put that in the contract. Unfortunately, our installer didn’t want to do it, and on day two, we saw the ceiling was not demoed, so replacement wouldn’t be an easy fix after all. Seeing our frustration and disappointment, he did take care of demo, but we called an electrician to come on emergency basis, so we could move things along, costing us an additional $225. Mind you, the cost was already almost $13,000.
When the electrician saw there was no green board (supposed to be purple, in our case) on the walls, he was shocked, and told us he would stop the whole install. We were shocked too, as we remember the discussion with our salesman being they use purple board, which is similar, and in fact, it is called a few other colors sometimes. When we asked our installer, he said he just uses a thicker, better board, no green, or purple. Sadly, since the contract is not itemized, we don’t know what we really paid for.
When it came time to put the shower door on, we saw it was going to be wrong. Again, the discussion with the salesman assured me he had written the order so it would open just the way our old door had. In order to make that happen, the installer basically had to flip the door and frame upside down. Sadly, we didn’t know until we could actually use the shower a day later, how that didn’t work well. Our bath mat and floor get very wet, and the etched words on the glass, which should be upright and at the bottom, are upside down at the top! We also learned, the anti slip bottom is very slippery! Just not good!
Lastly, we were to receive a $50 gift card for getting an estimate. I saw the salesman write it down, but he told us he doesn’t handle that, he gives it to the office, and thought it took about five weeks. We’re pretty sure that has not been taken care of, as we have no card. However, since no one from customer service has ever responded on anything from our many messages we don’t know. My husband and I have both left messages, and while a gentleman did call us, he said someone from customer service would be in touch, to work out a resolution to all of this, but…”crickets.”

Highly recommend this company!!
Wow! My team of 2 arrived just after 8am and were done by 3! Kenny and his assistant (I am so sorry I am bad with names!) were very personable and professional! My floors were covered and when they were done, with the obvious exception of a beautiful bathroom, you could not tell that they had been there! Instructions were clearly given, and all questions were answered! Highly recommend this company!!!!
