"Very Professional and attention to detail. Installation crew were very courteous and good at what they do. Quality Installation If you are looking to replace your tub or shower, I highly recommend Bay State Luxury Bath"
"While the quality of work and clean up performed by the crew was outstanding and Iâ m pleased with the finished product the crew didnâ t arrive until almost 11 and didnâ t leave until 9 PM. While I appreciate the goal of a new bathtub/shower replaced in as little as a day working until 9 PM is not acceptable. When setting up the appointment it needs to be stated very clearly what the expectations are for the day. As I said, Iâ m very happy with the finished product but 20k which includes no installation cost is way too much for what was actually provided."
"Jeff Veglia and his team did a great job on my condo renovation after we suffered extensive damage from a water leak. The project included a complete kitchen remodel, custom cabinets, plumbing, electrical, ceramic tiles, and all new plaster walls. Also replaced were dining room, living room and bedroom hardwood floors, and new plaster ceiling and vinyl flooring in the basement. We are very grateful to Jeff for his responsiveness and professionalism on this project."
"The porch was wood and had rotted out. Joe DaSilva gave me a reasonable estimate and his carpenter Francisco rebuilt the porch and did a beautiful job using quality materials that will require no maintenance. I also had repairs done to the shed where the supporting beam had to be replaced. Everything was done in a professional manner."
"The job was done superbly!!!! We are very satisfied and would use Busy Bee and John again. He was pleasant and easy to work with. He returned all emails and phone calls promptly - something that not all contractors do! He was always amenable to changes in the plans before and during the project. He made excellent suggestions, gave good advice and hunted down the little touches like matching chrome door knob and hinges that made our bathroom special. The small space was a challenge, but his team handled it well. Busy Bee's team arrived every day on time and cleaned up before they left. We really appreciated that! They worked as fast as they could as we had no other shower in the house. We contacted three other contractors and all had estimates that were not only much more than John's, but also included less in the cost. When our bathroom under went it's final inspection the inspector commented that it was a very pretty bathroom. Thanks to Busy Bee! "
"I recently had my bathroom remodeled by Integrity Bathworks and I couldn’t be happier with how it came out. The quality of the work is excellent and the whole space looks brand new. They were professional, worked efficiently, and paid attention to every detail. The transformation is amazing and the bathroom looks clean, modern, and built to last. I would definitely recommend Integrity Bathworks to anyone looking to upgrade their bathroom."
"I had my roof replaced. The salesperson was knowledgeable and very personable. Bridget was amazing. Communication was great throughout the entire process and I was satisfied with the results."
"Excellent work. He replaced a drop ceiling and installed a window. He is confident and has every reason to be. The job was done on time and the clean up was perfect."
"We acquired a condominium on the 2nd floor of a 2 family house in Arlington. MA. The existing hardwood floors were beyond repair and we wanted to add a 2nd bathroom. In addition we wanted to integrate the existing sun porch into the living room to more than recover the area lost to the new bathroom, and install central A/C. We had estimates from three other contractors before we met with Pedro from Crystal Renovations. His pricing was very competitive relative to the other contractors, but that was mostly due to the others trying to add work that we didn't want or need. Pedro listened to what we wanted and worked with us to accomplish it. From the very beginning of the project until the end Pedro was always responsive and answered, emails, texts, and phone messages in a very timely fashion. He and his crew and subs were a pleasure to work with and any issues that arose were dealt with in a calm and professional manner. Before and during the project Pedro made several design suggestions such as recessed lighting on the sun porch, shower stall light, and new bath layout that definitely improved on our original thoughts. In the end the project came in on time and with a very small increase to the original estimate despite some challenges he and his crew had to work through. The best part, though, is the absolute impeccable quality of the finished product. We highly recommend Pedro and Crystal Renovations and plan to use them again in the near future."
"This is a top notch company. Everyone we dealt with was very professional and flexible. We wanted to replace our old 2nd floor master bathroom with a modern walk-in shower, Toto Neorest, new vanity, lighting, electrical upgrade, flooring and new paint. They handled all required permits and inspections. They coordinated with other vendors whose products we purchased. We were impressed with the professionalism of all the workers. We always felt informed and confident in their work. They cleaned up before leaving each day. The finished work was breathtaking."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
It is possible to install a two-in-one unit that has both a shower and a walk-in tub so you can still have both in smaller bathrooms or provide a showerhead for those in the household who prefer taking showers. You’ll hear these referred to as walk-in tub and shower combo units. Keep in mind that these combo units can take up more space than a standard shower or tub, and you’ll most likely need to hire a pro to install one.
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.
While tubs are fairly sturdy, you may notice cracks or holes. This kind of damage can happen from someone accidentally dropping something heavy into the tub. You might also see damage if you drop something heavy into the tub over and over again (like your extra large bottle of body wash). While you might only notice a small dent at first, this can later turn into a crack or a hole.
Also, certain cleaners that are harmful to your tub can cause damage. And if you have a fiberglass tub, you might see cracks if it was not installed properly with the right support.
The cost to replace a bathtub is $2,000 to $9,400.Whether you want to spruce up your bathroom or your existing bathtub is not functioning correctly, purchasing a new tub costs about $5,700 with installation. Prices depend on the type and size of the tub.
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.
