A.G. Smith Refinishing

About A.G. Smith Refinishing

Our business began in 1978 as A.G. Smith Fiberglass Repair. This brilliant idea came from Gene and Alice Smith. Gene and Alice owned a pool business and fiberglass bathtubs were becoming the most popular tub for new construction and remodeling. Mr. Smith knew about fiberglass pools and acquired the knowledge to repair fiberglass bathtubs. A.G. Smith was the first bathtub repair business in the Midwest, and soon thereafter, Mr. and Mrs. Smith sold their pool business. About 1995, Gene's hands were becoming crippled by arthritis and he was having trouble performing the intricate work needed for bathtub repairs. His grandson, Brad, was at his house and heard him decline work because of his hands. Brad chose to help his grandfather on his days off, and learn all that he could from his grandfather's experience. In 1999, Gene decided that his business should expand to include bathtub refinishing. Brad was excited to learn this new aspect of saving an old bathtub and expanding the business. Gene found a place to train in Dallas, Texas, and he and Brad were going to train together, but that would never be. Early 2000, Gene passed away unexpectedly. At this time, Brad and his wife, Kimberley, were certain this was the path they were to take. Within two weeks, Brad and Kim were in Texas getting specialized in bathtub refinishing. Grandpa would sure be amazed at what his knowledge and his ideas have become. With Brad's bathtub repair and color matching training, background in construction and management, along with Kim's Accounting Degree and business experience, the business has grown to unknown proportions. Brad took some time off and moved to Florida. He decided to venture his way back to Indiana in 2017. He has worked jobs here and there refinishing bathtubs. In 2022, his son, Adrian decided it was time for him to learn the family business. They are now back to refinishing full time. They guys have since adding Tile laying to the business. Adrian has become very fond of the tile side of the business while continuing to learn all the need to knows about the bathtub refinishing.
