"Marcin was very professional and knowledgeable in all aspects. His recommendations for our shower replacement really helped us. He thoroughly went through all our options and helped us fine tune our decision. His pricing was very fair and he demonstrated a sincere desire to make sure that were were happy with our decision. His work was outstanding and he even corrected some floor issues that surfaced to make sure that there would be no problems down the road. Marcin laid down a tarp throughout our house and in the bathroom work area to keep things as clean as possible. He also kept us up to date as the project progressed. He also pointed out that because our walls weren't squared, he had some difficulty aligning the shower door. IMO most contractors wouldn't bother to point this out. We love our shower, but after a little over a week, we felt that the shower door wasn't quite right and was "catching". Now talk about GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. We called Marcin and told him we thought the door wasn't quite right. His business is 30 miles away from us but he showed up the very next day and had a fix for the door, which now opens and closes perfectly. We love our new shower as it's a big improvement over our prior one and we highly recommend Marcin and DeLuxe Bath."

"The Surface Doctors treated my shower and tub in 2020. They were prompt, polite, and the cost and process was exactly as described. Recently, I noticed a chip in the tub floor, probably from a dropped bottle, and that in some spots the caulk had separated. So I contacted them again to schedule a time to repair it. Again, our technician Jorge, the same person who did the original work, was right on time, exceptionally polite, and completed the work efficiently. In fact, he was done in about 30 minutes. I couldn't be happier!"

"The project involved replacing an old tub with a walk-in shower. New floor, updated plumbing valve, body sprays, handheld shower, and a custom glass door were all installed. Everything was done cleanly and with attention to detail. The shower looks great and functions far better than before."

"The installer showed up on time and went straight to work. We discussed a couple of issues he ran into and these were resolved to my satisfaction. It's been a few motnhs since the bathtub was removed and the new shower installed. There have been no problems."

  • Let me start by saying that Frank is a perfectionist and everyone that works for and with him is the same way.  We had previously used G&G to reface our kitchen cabinets and knew the standard of Frank's work.  Our master bathroom was outdated with a prefab shower, Jacuzzi tub and cherry cabinets.  We wanted everything taken out in order to modernize the whole room.  Frank offered many suggestions and we used most of them - turn the toilet around, get rid of the big built in tub and replace it with a free standing soaking tub (which is gorgeous!), and full length glass walls in the shower.  Chris and Robert executed those changes and everything was installed perfectly.  The work included:
  • - demo of the room

- rebuilding the shower stall from scratch, including tiling the floor of the shower and 2 of the walls, installing new fixtures and a niche  in the wall. An outside vendor installed the glass on the other 2 walls.
- turned the toilet around so it was in a better location.
- removed Jacuzzi tub, which included removal of all the piping related to it and reinstallation of plumbing for new free standing  tub. This tub also has a free standing faucet fixture which included a hand held shower.
- tiled the floor and base board.
- installed a double vanity which included approx. 5' towers on either end. Granite vanity top with undermount sinks, new plumbing fixtures, lights and mirrors (these were custom made by the glass company).  Let me comment that all of the electrical work and plumbing were done prior to receiving the cabinet.  Robert did all of this work off of the diagram and everything lined up perfectly once the cabinets were installed.
- painted walls and woodwork.
Frank was in constant contact with us during the project and stopped in to see how things were progressing.  There were no hidden costs and we paid Frank the amount he gave in his estimate.

"Prime Bath did a wonderful job on our bathroom install of new flooring, shower, vanity, toilet, and lighting. They were clean, punctual, courteous, and professional. They even found and repaired a leak behind the wall that we were unaware of."

"I take a lot of pride in my home, and as a fur mom, I need spaces that are both beautiful and practical. My bathroom was starting to feel outdated, so I decided it was time to upgrade the bathtub and replace the old fixtures. Century City Baths made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. The installation team was professional, respectful, and meticulous. They kept everything clean throughout the project and paid close attention to every detail. The new bathtub is comfortable and beautiful, while the updated fixtures instantly made the bathroom feel more polished and refreshed. Century City Baths transformed my bathroom into a space that feels stylish, comfortable, and perfectly suited to my lifestyle. I couldn't be happier with the result."

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts

Installing a drop-in tub yourself is possible, especially if you’re replacing your existing tub with a new one of the same size. If you’re replacing a different type of tub, you’ll need to build the structure to hold the new drop-in tub and finish the exposed sides. The structure must be sturdy enough to hold the tub when it’s filled with water, and you’ll need to seal it. If any plumbing work is required, it’s best to call a licensed plumber who installs bathtubs.

Completing a full standard bathroom remodel offers the best value, with an average return on investment (ROI) of 70%. However, you don't need a full remodel to make an impact. To maximize value, focus on key components like flooring, the tub and shower, vanity, and cabinets. High-value upgrades include installing a walk-in shower, resurfacing a tub, retiling, or expanding the shower. For more budget-friendly options that still increase value, consider repainting with a light, neutral color, or updating the mirror and light fixtures. It's also crucial to address any necessary repairs, such as leaks, mold, or cracked tiles, as buyers will notice these issues. Avoid flashy upgrades like bathtub jets or steam showers, which don't add as much value.

Professionals can enhance bathroom aesthetics by recommending and implementing design elements such as modern fixtures, high-quality tiles, and efficient layouts. They ensure cohesive style, compliment functionality, and an enhanced visual appeal in the space.

The reasons not to install flooring underneath a bathtub outweigh the benefits. A properly installed bathtub will keep water from reaching the unprotected subfloor underneath. Installing a tub on top of finished flooring can lead to damage and scratches to the new floor. Also, a small leak from a tub drain may be more difficult to notice if finished flooring impedes water drips.

An alcove tub is designed to fit into a three-walled enclosure in a bathroom. A drop-in tub, on the other hand, is placed into a custom-built frame or enclosure. This frame can be fitted to an alcove, making a drop-in tub a viable alternative if you want a more custom or spa-like look. Because the frame is custom, drop-in tubs offer more design flexibility and a wider range of materials, such as cultured marble or tile, compared to the simpler acrylic or fiberglass of a typical alcove tub. The frame for a drop-in tub can also be placed anywhere in the bathroom it fits, not just in an alcove.
