"I called and left a message and received a call back the next day. I described the chip and they said they could fix it and quoted the $175.00 price. We scheduled a time a couple weeks later. He came out on time, fixed the chip in under an hour and it looks beautiful. Right now, the patch is a little shinier (same color white though) than the rest of the tub but he assured me that with normal use and cleaning, it would eventually become just like the rest of the tub (maybe a couple weeks). This tub is 17 years old! Frankly, it looks great, even if one little spot is a bit shinier forever. I feel like I just saved almost $2000 and it was totally painless.

"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!"

"Having a 1-year-old changes the way you look at every part of your home ? especially the bathroom. Safety, cleanliness, and convenience suddenly become so important. When we decided to remodel ours, I wanted a space that would make daily routines easier while still feeling calm and comfortable. Century City Baths gave us exactly that. The crew was professional, tidy, and respectful of our home. They worked efficiently and made sure every detail was done carefully. The new bathtub feels secure and comfortable for bath time, and the entire bathroom feels brighter and much easier to maintain. What I appreciate most is how much smoother our routine feels now. Bath time is safer, cleanup is faster, and the space finally works for our family instead of against us."

"This is the second time we have used Modern View. just like before mark was very punctual and explained what he thought was the best countertop for the job. He directed us to his warehouse where a variety of quartz stones were available to chose from. Anna, who was an employee, did a wonderful job assisting us in finding the right color stone. Mark's workers came a couple of weeks later and in a two hour period of time removed the old countertops and bar sink and replaced them with the new quartz countertops and a new bar sink. things could not have gone better. My wife and I are very happy with the result. We have recommended Modern View to all of our friends and relatives."

"Excellent job repairing our deck! The job was to power wash, replace boards as needed, and paint. The power wash and replacement of boards was well done. Two coats of paint were applied well. Our unhappiness stems from the finished project's paint not looking at all like the paint chip. We get that the actual paint job won't be a perfect match to the chip, but this was way off and way too light. We noticed as they were going into the second coat and said that it didn't look right. Even after it dried, the color was very much too light. I wish they'd had enough knowledge (?) to advise us of this before they got the paint. They kind of shrugged off our complaint because "this is the shade you ordered." We paid in full for the work they did. Then went to Menard's and found a darker shade of the same paint line that we applied ourselves. The deck looks great now."

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts

The most common type of tub is the alcove; most bathtubs are shower and tub combinations. Many suburban homes feature these as the default option because they allow the flexibility for users to take a bath or a shower—a notable benefit for those with pets and young kids.

If your bathtub is in overall good shape with minor scratches, discoloration, or just general wear and tear, it's best (and less expensive) to refinish it. 

If your tub has large cracks, is leaking, or is otherwise severely damaged, we recommend replacing it with a new bathtub. Refinishing a bathtub can only fix superficial problems, so these issues will still be present or reappear after a refinishing.

A standard bathtub can be used for soaking, but they tend to be shallower (between 15 and 18 inches deep). A soaking tub is designed to be deep enough to totally submerge yourself in the water (about 20 and 24 inches deep). Additionally, most soaking tubs are freestanding, while regular bathtubs come in various styles with drop-in, surround, and wall-mounted options available.

While they’re heavier than their counterparts, cast-iron tubs are very simple to maintain. They have no seams and are durable, making them the easiest tub to maintain. While fiberglass and acrylic tubs are also relatively simple to maintain, they often have seams, making maintenance a little more difficult.

Technically, yes, you can put a shower on a Roman tub, but it's not common. The vast majority of Roman tubs are standalone models. Adding a shower would involve installing a ceiling-mounted curtain rod or a custom glass enclosure, as well as redoing the plumbing, making it neither easy nor budget-friendly.
