"Mad City was personable and professional with all that needed to be done at my home. Patio door replacement, bedroom window replacement, and shower stall installation. They even hired a subcontractor to repair a hole in the ceiling that was caused by a leaky bathtub. My highest complements!"

"I haven’t had my shower installed yet, but I was very impressed with the customer services and their warranty and demonstrated quality materials. I won’t get the install till October, but that gives me time to save up."

"Bruce and Nate were exceptional!! They tiled our basement shower and it looks amazing!!! They made the design look outstanding - so visually pleasing. Bruce also guided us in what kind of grout would go well with the tile and pebble flooring we picked out - he's the expert! He also put in 3 frosted, glass-type shelves in the shower - we found out he makes those himself - so it's extra special because of its uniqueness! Bruce and Nate are so kind and easy-going, we would hire them again and again!!! We've gotten multiple compliments on how our shower turned out!"

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts

In some cases, people are getting rid of bathtubs because of the floor space they gain after removal. Showers can make more efficient use of bathroom space. In some cases, people get rid of tubs for accessibility purposes. It can be difficult for some individuals to step into and out of a tub. For these people, a shower with no lip or step is safer and easier to use than a tub.

Updating to modern styles and efficient models can enhance bathroom appeal and increase property value.

Different bathtub materials have various advantages and disadvantages. Cast iron and copper are considered the most durable materials because they are dense and resistant to damage from scratches or dents. However, cast-iron tubs are heavy, expensive, and may not be suitable for upper floors. Copper offers unique benefits but requires regular chemical treatment to prevent a patina from forming, making cast iron a less maintenance-intensive option. Porcelain is a good second choice for durability. For those on a budget, acrylic is a popular option, though it is less durable.

Fiberglass tubs last between 10 and 15 years or more if they’re well-maintained. Proper care will help them last as long as possible. However, fiberglass bathtubs are prone to cracking, fading, and scratches over time. Bathtub installation by a plumber is one of the best ways to ensure your tub has the right support to last its full lifespan.

Labor is the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel. If you’re doing a major remodel, structural changes (such as moving walls) and plumbing reconfiguration can be costly. For a standard remodel, the big-ticket items include tiles and new tub or shower fixtures.
