"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."
"They replaced some tile flooring with beautiful new laminate. It looks amazing. Love their work. Will certainly use them for all my household needs. Highly recommend."
"Great collaborator with a great vision and solid execution to the final. Always available and answers questions in a timely manner. His crew is personable, dedicated and patient. This tile professional solves problems quickly if and once they arrive. I would hire him and his crew again in a heartbeat. they"

"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."
"Nova did an excellent job, the leaking roof was fixed and both porches were fixed with new ceilings and lighting. The 2 porch floors were repainted. We would hire Nova again."
"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
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.
In some cases, people are getting rid of bathtubs because of the floor space they gain after removal. Showers can make more efficient use of bathroom space. In some cases, people get rid of tubs for accessibility purposes. It can be difficult for some individuals to step into and out of a tub. For these people, a shower with no lip or step is safer and easier to use than a tub.
If you don’t caulk your bathtub, then there won’t be a watertight seal between your bathtub and the wall tile surrounding it. As a result, water can seep into the wall and the floor and cause the perfect breeding grounds for mold and mildew. Not only does this require costly repairs, but mold can be harmful to those breathing it.
Bathtub and shower liners come in different colors, so make sure you select one to match the rest of the bathroom. Hire a local bath liner installer for the job since they have the expertise, tools, and materials to install it correctly. Request at least three quotes from various contractors and compare their rates and services.
A peeling bathtub is not a good thing. It’s a sign that the finish is coming off, and continued exposure to water and cleaning products can continue to damage the finish and eventually the underlying structure of the tub. What starts as a few chips or flakes can worsen into large chunks peeling off.
