"Staff was easy to work with. I replaced a bathtub with a walk-in shower. The finished product took 1 and 1/2 days to install and looks great and works well. Work was completed on time."

"We had a bathroom remodel performed by Five Star Bath Solutions. We replaced existing shower, removed a bubble tub and replaced with soaking tub, and had new wall surfaces. The job was excellent- done in one day - team was professional, polite, and very detailed. Totally impressed with Five Star Bath Solutions from the first contact through to post completion follow up. We are so pleased with their work we have no problem highly recommending Five Star."

Customers say: True professional

"I used Scott's Home Renewal for a first floor renovation about three years ago, was pleased and hired them again for this. Not the cheapest contractor, but definitely the best I have used here. First class professionals; first rate subs, especially the tile and glass people The custom glass door arrived with the wrong specs, and the glass contractor got the factory to make a new one with only one day of waiting.. If you want it done right, contact Scott's."

"It went great. Jared called 30 minutes before his arrival and got there around 3:30 p.m. and was here working until after 7:30 so that we could have it finished that day. He had to make a trip to a supply shop for parts that were not included in the faucets we had purchased. We had purchased 3 bathroom faucets ahead of time that didn't come with all the parts needed to install them. We purchased the laundry room faucet from Golden Rule. Jared was very polite, friendly, and helpful. We asked him about replacing a tub faucet in the master bath and he checked to see whether we could the finish we wanted, which we could not as it has been discontinued. We regularly use Golden Rule for plumbing, heating and cooling and have always been impressed with them.

"We had a couple leaky faucets and some loose electrical fixtures wanted a handyman to come take a look. Dakota was great to talk to, giving us an idea of what it would take to fix our plumbing issues and quickly fixing our electrical issues. He charged a very reasonable price ($30), considering that he was at our house for an hour or so"

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts

The order of your bathroom renovation should prevent damage to the completed work. Start with demolition and removing the old fixtures. Then, address structural repairs or water damage, if needed. Next, tackle the rough-in phase for plumbing and electrical work, install waterproofing, and work on wall treatments like tile or paint. Install your shower or bathtub, toilet, vanity, and sink. Flooring goes in after major fixtures but before the toilet. Lastly, install new lighting fixtures, mirrors, and other finishing touches as desired.

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.

If your tub is attached to the wall, the best material will be one that can be shaped to fit your space perfectly. A cast-polymer, acrylic, or fiberglass tub will likely be the easiest to install as a built-in because it can be designed to fit your space.

When buying caulk, look for ones labeled for tub and tile. These have either acrylic latex or silicone compounds. This allows the caulk to stick to smooth surfaces and prevent mildew from forming. 

While Medicare will pay for some bathroom modifications, it won’t pay for all modifications done to help make the room more accessible for older adults. Plus, the improvements must be approved in advance, or they won’t cover the upgrade. Check well in advance of construction if you have coverage for grab bars, walk-in tubs, wider doorways, higher toilets, and more.
