"Mr. Coleman was excellent with the consultation no pressure. Installation was great. Love having my new walk in shower. No-one can go wrong hiring Mr. Colman for a bathtub replacement"
"They arrived on time. Worked efficiently without stopping until the job was done. We replaced our tub with a shower unit. Itâ s gorgeous! They did an amazing job."
"Chris Reynard and Long Baths transformed our old Master Bath shower from old and ugly to new and easy to clean in just a day. Worth every penny and we would hire them again!"
"We couldn’t be happier with the work that Larry and his crew did. They took two very dated 1960’s bathrooms and brought them up to date. We had a tight timeframe to get this project done and everything was completed in a timely manner. Larry managed to stick to our budget without compromising on the quality. I probably am most impressed with the communication I received during this project. Our property is in a different state than our main residence. Larry kept us in the loop through out the project. If there were questions or concerns they were addressed immediately. We couldn’t be happier with Bellevue Construction and highly recommend them."
"So far, just completed the sales call. Very professional, no hard sell tactics. Got exactly what we wanted. Hopefully, the rest of the process will go as smoothly."
"Replaced a bow window and a patio slider. They accomplished it all in one day. They were clean, covered everything up when they were working so there was minimal dust. Vacuumed when they finished. Pleasant and professional. I highly recommend Rite Window."
"Justin was quick to respond and help us out. He was pleasant and professional! I needed a repair and placement of sink faucet and same in tub spout- all done well! Very satisfied. Highly recommend Raymond plumbing!"
"We have had considerable work done on our home over the past year and our experience with Dennis and Mark was by far the very best. They arrived on time, both have a wonderful work ethic and attention to detail. The tile work done by Dave is perfect. The pricing was very fair for the job which included totally gutting and replacing the flooring, tile, removing a fiberglass shower and replacing with a beautiful tiled shower, installing new vanity, toilet, etc. We also had exterior window sill and trim work done. My only regret is that we didn't have A & D do all the renovations in our home. I would highly recommend and would look no further should we do any more home projects."
"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
Fiberglass tubs last between 10 and 15 years or more if they’re well-maintained. Proper care will help them last as long as possible. However, fiberglass bathtubs are prone to cracking, fading, and scratches over time. Bathtub installation by a plumber is one of the best ways to ensure your tub has the right support to last its full lifespan.
Acrylic tubs can fade or turn yellow over time due to thick layers of accumulated dirt, hard water deposits from minerals, and shampoo or soap dyes. Also, as an acrylic tub ages, it may become dull or change color due to changes in the acrylic itself.
The overflow drain and wastewater drain connect to the same main pipe to take water away from your bathtub. Your overflow drain is meant to prevent damage to your bathroom—especially the floor around your bathtub, where excess water can quickly create a mold or mildew problem.
We don’t recommend using a tub liner to cover up cracks in a bathtub. Instead, you should repair the cracks yourself if you have the experience or hire a pro. Cracks may seem like small surface imperfections, but they can lead to much larger issues, so repair them as soon as you can.
The diverter valve in your bathtub is responsible for diverting water between your tub spout and your shower head. If water comes out of both at the same time, you have a faulty diverter valve. You can have a plumber replace this for you, or you can replace it yourself if you have some experience working with plumbing fixtures.
