"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."

"We've been living in our home for about five years, and the bathroom was one of those projects we kept saying we'd eventually get around to. The old bathtub and shower were still usable, but they were definitely showing their age and didn't really match the way we wanted our home to look anymore. We finally decided it was time to replace our old bathtub and shower. Century City Baths made the process easy, and the installation turned out beautifully. Our bathroom feels fresh, modern, and so much more comfortable now!"

Customers say: True professional

"All work was done extremely well.  Nermin was very quick to come up with solutions to problems...he installed led lighting in the top cabinets in my kitchen and replaced a screen door with a much more durable material among other things.  I am very pleased with his work and will definitely use his services again.  I highly recommend him.

"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 cost of installing a new bathtub is considerably more expensive than refinishing an existing one, so if you’re looking to upgrade your tub on a budget, you might be better off refinishing it for now. Additionally, if your tub has only minor damage, refinishing it will make it look new again without the extra demolition and time. 

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.

The impact of a walk-in tub on home value depends on various factors, including market demand, demographic preferences, and overall home features. While some buyers may view it as a desirable accessibility feature, others might see it as a niche amenity, potentially limiting the pool of interested buyers. However, it could add value if the walk-in tub meets specific needs or enhances the property's appeal to a target demographic. Ultimately, its effect on home value varies case by case, with factors like installation quality, design, and neighborhood trends playing roles in determining its impact.

The overflow drain and wastewater drain connect to the same main pipe to take water away from your bathtub. Your overflow drain is meant to prevent damage to your bathroom—especially the floor around your bathtub, where excess water can quickly create a mold or mildew problem.

There are several ways to save money on a bathroom remodel through proper planning and savvy design strategies. To reduce costs, consider the following:

  • Purchase your own materials: Buy your own bathroom fixtures, hardware, and other materials to avoid contractor upcharges and delivery fees.

  • Shop smart for big-ticket items: Save on pricey items like tiles and tubs by shopping sales and at discount stores.

  • Avoid major layout changes: Keep plumbing in its current location. Opt to replace fixtures rather than moving them to avoid significant renovation work.

  • Focus on high-impact, low-cost updates: Make affordable but impactful smaller changes, such as upgrading hardware, installing new lighting, and adding stylish but economical accessories.

  • DIY where possible: Handle easier parts of the remodel yourself, like painting or installing light fixtures, to save on labor costs.

  • Time your remodel strategically: Consider remodeling in the spring, which tends to be a lower-demand time of year and may result in lower costs.
