"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."
"Chris and Long Baths did good work for my family. The plumbing from our previous shower was very messed up but Long worked with me to find a proper solution and we are very happy with the end result."

"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."

"This was an emergency situation and they couldn't have been nicer. Had to pick up the equipment and do the removal and installation. Very professional."
"Gisele and her team do an amazing job cleaning! We had them do a deep cleaning and now they come every other week. Truly our house has never been this clean. We first met Gisele and Almir when they did a proposal for replacing our back deck a couple of years ago--they were great to work with, they had the best price, and Almir and his crew did a wonderful job. Communication with Gisele is really easy and she is very responsive."
"One of my exterior doors could not be opened at all, and the other one was dragging on the door sill and was very difficult to close. I had been told by someone that I had described the problems to over the phone that the doors might need to be replaced. This is a small job and one for which it can be very difficult to find a competent handyman. Chris fixed the door that could not be opened within the first five minutes of his visit. For the dragging door, Chris started with the simplest approach to the fix, and then proceeded to add more involved approaches as needed. He charged me a very reasonable fee, and told me I could call him again in the future for similar work and larger repairs. Thank you, Chris!"
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
What you include in your bathroom remodel will depend on your budget, personal preferences, and the current condition of your bathroom. Bathroom renovations often involve changing out the shower or tub, faucet, showerhead, tiles, flooring, mirrors, sink, cabinets, and vanities. You may also want to upgrade the wallcovering, adding new wallpaper or paint.
Options include alcove, freestanding, clawfoot, or whirlpool tubs for various preferences.
Updating to modern styles and efficient models can enhance bathroom appeal and increase property value.
Whether replacing a bathtub with a shower affects your home's value depends on several factors, with the most significant being whether it's the only tub in the house. Removing the sole bathtub can lower a home's value because many prospective buyers, particularly families with young children or pets, require at least one.
However, a tub-to-shower conversion can also increase home value. A modern walk-in shower is often seen as an upgrade in a secondary bathroom and can be a desirable feature for its accessibility and style, appealing to older homebuyers or those without children. The overall impact is also influenced by your local real estate market and its typical buyer demographic.
If your bathroom layout allows, installing both a freestanding bathtub and a separate shower can be an ideal solution that appeals to the widest range of potential buyers.
You can resurface or reglaze your bathtub, and it’s faster and less expensive than replacing a bathtub. Plus, replacing a bathtub is an extensive and intrusive process that requires wall repairs. Refinishing is an excellent option if the old one is in good working condition.
There are also options to install a bathtub liner over your existing tub. However, if you’re seeking a new bathtub with new features, you’ll likely want to replace your tub.
