"A+++ Patriot was SUBSTANTIALLY less than all the other quotes I received. I wish we called them first! The remodeling project exceeded all expectations, transforming the bathroom into a stunning, modern space. The old bathtub, which had been in use for 25 years, was becoming increasingly difficult for a 90-year-old to navigate due to its high step. Now, thanks to the thoughtful renovation, there is a comfortable and easily accessible shower that allows me to sit down and enjoy the experience without any struggle. The new design is not only beautiful but also incredibly functional, making my daily routine much more enjoyable and safe."

"I was very pleased with Gisele's professionalism and especially happy that her husband was able to remove all of the soiled grout in the shower stall."
"I say bathroom remodels in the description slot because Chris has done all three bathrooms in our condo. We loved working with Chris. Not only is he very talented and his work top notch, he is also a great communicator offering excellent suggestions when talking about design. He understood the look we were after and definitely delivered beyond our expectations. We were amazed at how efficient he and his assistant were too. These bathrooms were totally remodeled with lots of tile work on top of everything else. Each one was finished within a week. They were very considerate of their environment too, always cleaning up after themselves before they left for the day. I highly recommend Chris for any project you might have in your home. Offering fair pricing, he is a master at his craft with a refreshing honesty and can do attitude. That’s a winning combination!"
"We had an excellent experience with the whole team at PIC. Wonderful job on our shower and windows replacement. The communication with everyone was great and the installation was professional."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Regular cleaning, immediate leak repairs, and avoiding abrasive cleaners to maintain the finish.
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.
If your tub is attached to the wall, the best material will be one that can be shaped to fit your space perfectly. A cast-polymer, acrylic, or fiberglass tub will likely be the easiest to install as a built-in because it can be designed to fit your space.
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.
The average cost to convert a tub to a shower is around $3,000, but prices can range from $1,000 to as high as $15,000. A more typical range is between $1,200 and $8,000. The final cost depends on several factors, including the amount of plumbing work required, the size of the shower, and the type of materials and fixtures chosen. A prefabricated shower stall is a more budget-friendly option, while a custom shower with features like luxury tiles, unique tiling, smart technology, or accessibility features will be at the higher end of the cost spectrum.
