"We love our new bathtub, surround and shower doors! Don and Carol came out to give us a price and two weeks later we had a beautiful bathroom. Ken the installer was very professional and very meticulous in his work. He was awesome and did a fantastic job. He always arrived on time and cleaned up very well. We are very happy with Bathcrest of Chicago!"

  • 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  Our master bathroom was outdated with a prefab shower, Jacuzzi tub and cherry cabinets.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.

"I had Ken and his crew come out in Dec. 2019 to install a new shower and replace two sink faucets in our primary bathroom. They did a great job. We did need a little warranty work done recently and they sent out a service technician who did what we asked courteously and professionally. I love a company that stands behind their work and Prime Baths in Coal City does just that. Will use them again as needed for sure."

"For remodeling our shower area and doing tile work throughout the master bath , We got quotes from a few vendors including Century city bath. The sales rep who gave the quote was very detailed and thorough and responsive to questions . There was also no unnecessary badgering phone calls until we were ready to reach out . We finalized on Century city based on their promise of quality to price . They definitely delivered on it . The project was wrapped up in a week from start to finish including shower installation . The work was very professional as well as the contractors who came to our house . Only minor issue we faced was water leaking out of the shower door post installation . Once we let the sales rep know , it was rectified within couple of days .Sales rep was always following up with us for feedback and we could contact him for questions during the process as well . We have been utilizing the master bath and have no complaints. Definitely happy to recommend!"

"The entire process was very easy. I emailed a picture of the damage, and I quickly received a detailed proposal. Scheduling was easy and they were able to accommodate my schedule. Ken was punctual, personable, and very professional. What I thought was wood rot turned out to be woodpecker damage. The damaged areas were removed, replaced and painted. When I first got the quote I felt it was a little on the high side, but the quality of the work was evident. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. I will definitely use Handyman Pros in the future."

Bathtub Replacement FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

What you include in your bathroom remodel will depend on your budget, personal preferences, and the current condition of your bathroom. Bathroom renovations often involve changing out the shower or tub, faucet, showerhead, tiles, flooring, mirrors, sink, cabinets, and vanities. You may also want to upgrade the wallcovering, adding new wallpaper or paint.

Yes, a bathroom remodel is a worthwhile home improvement project that typically adds value to your home, offering a return on investment (ROI) between 60% and 70%. Potential buyers look closely at bathrooms and kitchens, as these are often the most expensive rooms to renovate. A modern, updated bathroom is more appealing and assures buyers that the plumbing, fixtures, and flooring have a long, useful life ahead. Beyond the financial return, a remodel can also greatly increase your day-to-day satisfaction by creating a more inviting, spa-like space. Even a basic refresh with new paint and accessories can make a significant difference.

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.

Whether converting a tub to a shower is worth it depends on your personal circumstances and priorities. For many, a shower is a safer option that reduces the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, making it a valuable upgrade. It can also be a worthwhile conversion if a shower is more practical for your lifestyle and you rarely use the tub. However, there are potential downsides to consider. The cost, which can range from $1,200 to $8,000, can be a deterrent. Additionally, if you have young children, a bathtub is often easier for bathing them. Finally, removing the only bathtub in a home can potentially lower its resale value in the eyes of some buyers.
