"From Start to finish, it was the best experience. I was worried about about the project because of passed experiences. But House Doctors quickly put my worries to rest. The Sales team was open and honest from start to finish. Eric and his team were on time clean and did a great job with the shower. Highly recommend House Doctors"

"Worked with Kevin on a tub replacement. He was great - really quick, was honest about what needed to be done & got the crew out here 3 days later. The crew we had on site was amazing too - they were so fast (4 days total) and left the space cleaner than when they got there. Iâ  m thrilled with the results!"

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."

"Kyle and his team came in thousands under Mr. Floor" and responded quicker after a catastrophic pipe break destroyed the bathroom, floors and walls of our condo. His team installed the flooring throughout our unit and installed floor to ceiling bathroom tiles astoundingly fast. We couldn't be happier with the work done, and WE ARE BACK IN OUR HOME! Kyle and his team were professional, courteous and sensitive to our issue. They were knowledgeable and explained their work as they went. Estimates were fast and spot on. This was an insurance job. We appreciated Kyle's willingness to work within that environment. Highly recommended. Thanks, Footprints Floors!"

"I’ve always wanted a second bathroom. I contacted JK Complete R&C. Jack came to my home and assessed the would be project. Jack gave me a reasonable price, start and proposed finish date. Then I met the crew John, Mike and Ziggy. We had a great relationship. Everything that was to be accomplished was explained to me on a daily bases. By the end of the project we had a bond and it felt like family. I also learned quite a bit in the process. I am total fascinated with my new bathroom. I have already recommended JK Complete to family members."

Bathtub Replacement FAQs, answered by experts

To keep a walk-in tub in good condition, clean it regularly with non-abrasive cleaners. It is also important to periodically inspect the seals, jets, and faucets to ensure they are functioning correctly.

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.

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.

A good soaking tub will allow you to completely submerge yourself in the water, so it needs to be at least 20 inches deep. Luxury soaking tubs are 24 inches deep so that you can easily have enough space to be submerged in the water once the tub is full.
