"Don and Carol came out and priced the entire bathroom. The scope was reduced and Don re-estimated. Project Scope: New Bathtub and Remove/Replace Ceramic Floor Tile. Ken did work; I was not present to interface with Ken, but Don was available to report progress/ask questions daily. Final Outcome: Excellent."

"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 My bathroom was starting to feel outdated, so I decided it was time to upgrade the bathtub and replace the old fixtures.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."

"The work on shower replacement was fabulous. The workers were very competent and they completed the shower in one day. We had a problem with the shower head and they came back the next morning to fix the problem."

Customers say: True professional

"We hired Nermin for a kitchen and bath remodel and couldn't have been happier. He is extremely thorough, honest, and reliable in his work. There were several unforseen glitches in what we had planned, and Nermin was able to troubleshoot and come up with solutions to make the final remodel much more thorough and well done than the work we were replacing! He not only does high quality work, but has a good sense of style/aesthetic. Everything he did was thoughtfully planned and expertly executed. I will be hiring him again for any future work in my condo."

"I am so happy I chose this company! Kyle was fantastic to work with. I had a flood in my condo and needed flooring replaced. Kyle really worked to get my job scheduled as soon as possible since I was running out of temporary housing. They completed the job in four days and did amazing work. I had luxury vinyl plank installed and love it. I was so impressed because due to my situation I had all of my belongings still in my condo and they were able to move it around to take out and put new flooring in. They didnâ t damage any of my property and cleaned up very well when the project was completed. I would highly recommend this company. The process was so easy from start to finish. Kyle is incredibly responsive and helpful with choosing the flooring and baseboards."

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts

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.

You can put a structure under your bathtub for support. Many modern tubs come with a built-in support structure underneath. Almost any type of mortar or floor-leveling compound is acceptable for new bathtubs that don’t include a support structure.

You can also install spray foam under an existing bathtub to eliminate or reduce squeaking or sagging. However, spray foam isn’t rigid enough for primary tub support.

You should consider replacing your bathtub if the tub—or any potential refinishing—is older than about 20 years old. However, acrylic and fiberglass bathtubs have a shorter lifespan (about 10 to 15 years). You may decide to replace your bathtub sooner if there are stains or mold you can’t get rid of, no matter how much you clean it, or if you find leaks and cracks that could lead to costly water damage.

It’s substantially less expensive to reglaze a tub than to replace it. The average cost of reglazing a bathtub is between $400 and $700, but that range may be higher based on where you live and the type of tub you have. Meanwhile, if you want to replace the bathtub, you’re looking at $2,000 to $9,400, with the average close to $5,700.

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.
