"The workers that came were prompt and did their work with few interruptions except to ask me questions about how I wanted something placed. It was done (bathtub and wet area remodel) in two days and after waiting 24 hours I was able to enjoy a nice long deep soak bath. No regrets here. It's only been a few months so I can't speak to anything that may happen long term down the road but it's lifetime warranty so that's covered. Also their rep was the most calm and professional out of a number that came to give a quote."

"I had an excellent experience with Pro Bright Construction. They responded to my initial inquiry very quickly and were able to schedule the installation of a whole-home water flow restrictor on the main water intake that same day. The two professionals who completed the work were friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. Although this was a significant installation, they finished the job in just a couple of hours and left the work area spotless. I was quoted a price by a large plumbing company that was nearly twice the amount I paid, so I also appreciate Pro Bright's very fair pricing. I'm left truly happy for their prompt response, professionalism, quality workmanship, and value. I will definitely contact Pro Bright Construction for any future plumbing needs and highly recommend them."

"We CLOULD NOT BE HAPPIER with having chosen Sonny Builders for our fireplace update! Hilario, our project manager, was a trusted partner throughout the process, from the initial estimate to selecting design elements. He ensured every step of the job went according to plan from start-to-finish. Hilario's communication was impeccable, following up at each step via phone and text - he was as invested in the successful reno as we were and we're so grateful for his help! Additionally, it should be noted that EVERY SINGLE pro who was involved in this job was an ABSOLUTE JOY to work with - not only were they top-notch practitioners in their trade and craft, they are also great people. Everyone was friendly, respectful of our property, and patient with our curious puppies :-) It says a lot when the job is done and YOU MISS THE CREW - we found ourselves in that situation after work was finished. Great job Sonny Builders and thank you for the beautifully reimagined fireplace - we love it!"

"Showed up onsite quickly to review the work, discuss options, & provide quote. Expensive, but rep'd a quality brand, worked quickly, & quality work. I wish the electrician they pulled in would have talked it over with me before doing their portion, I was not happy with that part."

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts

Start by gutting the old fixtures and features that need to be removed, such as the tile, vanity, and flooring. You may benefit by removing the toilet, even if you intend to use the same one. Next, install the new shower or tub, followed by the flooring, and then the drywall, which you should then paint. After that, install your new cabinets, vanity, countertop, sink, and faucet, in that order. Replace your light fixture next. Lastly, reconnect the toilet.

It is possible to install a two-in-one unit that has both a shower and a walk-in tub so you can still have both in smaller bathrooms or provide a showerhead for those in the household who prefer taking showers. You’ll hear these referred to as walk-in tub and shower combo units. Keep in mind that these combo units can take up more space than a standard shower or tub, and you’ll most likely need to hire a pro to install one.

There are several ways to save money on a bathroom remodel through proper planning and savvy design strategies. To reduce costs, consider the following:

  • Purchase your own materials: Buy your own bathroom fixtures, hardware, and other materials to avoid contractor upcharges and delivery fees.

  • Shop smart for big-ticket items: Save on pricey items like tiles and tubs by shopping sales and at discount stores.

  • Avoid major layout changes: Keep plumbing in its current location. Opt to replace fixtures rather than moving them to avoid significant renovation work.

  • Focus on high-impact, low-cost updates: Make affordable but impactful smaller changes, such as upgrading hardware, installing new lighting, and adding stylish but economical accessories.

  • DIY where possible: Handle easier parts of the remodel yourself, like painting or installing light fixtures, to save on labor costs.

  • Time your remodel strategically: Consider remodeling in the spring, which tends to be a lower-demand time of year and may result in lower costs.

A professional bathtub installation or replacement typically takes one to three days, depending on the project's complexity and any necessary alterations. If you hire a professional, most replacements can be completed in one to three days. However, if you choose the DIY route, the process could take up to a month, as it involves removing the old tub and drywall, installing the new tub, repairing the drywall, and installing new tiling.

It’s substantially less expensive to reglaze a tub than to replace it. The average cost of reglazing a bathtub is between $400 and $700, but that range may be higher based on where you live and the type of tub you have. Meanwhile, if you want to replace the bathtub, you’re looking at $2,000 to $9,400, with the average close to $5,700.
