"5 Star did a great job on our on suite shower replacement in one day! Didn’t think it was possible! Took everything down to studs and replacement went in smoothly. True craftsmanship and they did an excellent job on post installation cleanup! We had one issue with a leaking shower control valve post installation and they replaced the valve no questions asked. Project was expensive but I would certainly recommend them for the same type of work!"

"We replaced our bathtub with a walk in shower, and are extremely happy with the work that was provided. In only took one person 6 hours to complete the job, and he was very professional and the quality of work was great. Would hire them again."

Customers say: True professional

"The Scott's are a son & father team with a combined experience of 40 years. I had read the reviews posted on Angie's List and they were the first business I contacted by e-mail. In response to my e-mail Andy Scott called me directly and we set up a time for him to come look at the repairs needed. He came out the following day at the agreed upon time and gave me both a verbal estimate for the job followed up by an invoice via e-mail with the jobs specifically itemized. Andy also informed me that he and his father could complete the job in two days. The repair work was done on one day and then allowed to dry (set up). Then the sanding and paint work was completed on the second day. The Scott's did an excellent job. They were very professional and took the time to put down tarps on the wooded & carpeted floor as well as plastic over the bathroom vanity. They also used a wet/dry vacuum to get any loose materials that had come off the ceiling all cleaned up.They also left a small industrial fan to speed the drying time. The Scott's got a good match on the paint color and they not only painted the repair area, but the entire ceiling & walls. It all came out looking really nice. If I have any small criticism (more of a suggestion really), it would be to use NO or low VOC paint so there aren't any toxic fumes. Since my bedroom is right across from the small bathroom, I did not realize how strong the fumes would be or that I would have an allergic reaction (i.e., sinus headache and sore throat) as a result. But to the Scott's credit, they did leave the window open to help the fumes escape. The only problem was my 81 year old father wanted the window closed because he was cold. While I did turn on my own personal fan, it didn't help that much. But overall it was an excellent job and a reasonable price. Andy Scott is a straight up guy who is very easy to talk to. I would definitely hire Andy & Roger Scott again for other indoor jobs."

"We had Clear Choice Bath out to remodel our basement bathroom. Originally we were going to go with the company who did our upstairs bath but we were so impressed with the material so we choose them. Brandon was informative and to the point and clearly knew what he's doing in a bathroom since he does the work as well. Their Foreman Robert was prompt, very skilled in all aspects of the remodeling process, and a very good communicator. A couple days afterwards we noticed an issue and without a question they came back and resolved it. We really are happy with the finished result and the fact that they stand behind their work. Thank You Robert and Brandon!"

"I called on a Friday and they were able to send somebody on Monday morning. I'm not sure if it was because they contacted me through Homeadvisor or because I was hesitant to have them come out without even a ballpark price, but they waived the trip charge. I told them that I had a leaking shower faucet and expected that the cartridge just needed to be replaced. I received a phone call and text 40 minutes before the tech's arrival as promised. Jake showed up on time and offered to wear the booties everybody brings these days, but between the time he spent sitting in his van and then writing up a quote after glancing at the faucet, it was at least half an hour before I even had the quote. My choices were $412 for the cartridge or $700+ to replace at least the valve and maybe more and then repair drywall. I assume the quote was written this way to trigger the upsale, but I will be selling my home soon and the drywall that didn't even need to be removed for this repair is already being replaced as part of a separate repair project. I was surprised that he didn't bring shower cartridges on the van since it seems like a common repair, and I'd specifically told them that's what I needed. He was gone for over an hour to get one from the supply center. Once he returned, he turned off the water, then went back to the van for a bit. Once he started on the faucet, it took maybe half an hour to swap out the cartridge. When he was done, Jake had me sign a few times, then emailed me an invoice with no text describing the service performed, just the total. I told him I needed some explanation of what was done, and he re-sent it with a blurb explaining a Moen cartridge was replaced and has a one year warranty. About an hour after Jake left, I received a follow up phone call to confirm everything was completed to my satisfaction. I have no complaints about the work, everybody was pleasant enough to deal with, and I know they create their quotes straight from a pricebook, but 3 hours and $412 to complete a 30 minute repair that requires a part costing no more than $50 just seems excessive."

Bathtub Replacement FAQs, 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.

Alcove tubs come in fiberglass, acrylic, or enameled steel. Fiberglass is the most affordable but least durable, while acrylic is the highest-end and most durable (as long as you don’t go with a poor grade of acrylic, which will be prone to scratches). Enameled steel, where a steel tub is coated in a layer of porcelain, is a wallet-friendly middle ground. This material is highly durable but prone to chips.

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.

Whether replacing a bathtub with a shower affects your home's value depends on several factors, with the most significant being whether it's the only tub in the house. Removing the sole bathtub can lower a home's value because many prospective buyers, particularly families with young children or pets, require at least one.

However, a tub-to-shower conversion can also increase home value. A modern walk-in shower is often seen as an upgrade in a secondary bathroom and can be a desirable feature for its accessibility and style, appealing to older homebuyers or those without children. The overall impact is also influenced by your local real estate market and its typical buyer demographic.

If your bathroom layout allows, installing both a freestanding bathtub and a separate shower can be an ideal solution that appeals to the widest range of potential buyers.

Of the two most common and affordable bathtub materials, acrylic is notably better. Though fiberglass is cheaper, it is also more prone to scratching, chipping, fading, and cracking. Acrylic holds up better to wear and tear, cleaning, and sun exposure; the slight cost increase is usually worth the increased longevity.
