"Had a bathtub taken out and converted to walk in shower unit. The quality seems top notch and installer was great. Installation was over 2-3 days but this was due to a bad snow storm in the area with hazardous roads that caused traffic accidents. The installer went out of his way to do everything he could to expedite it while maintaining a quality install, which I feel he accomplished. Only part I did not like was the hard sell approach of the sales person. Be prepared. Fortunately I had done my research on this company and am comfortable in my decision. Time will tell how well it holds up, but the warranty looks like a good lifetime one. Would definitely use them again."
"Thank you to Trident for the beautiful new bathroom. I had a walk in shower put in to replace the old bathtub. The process was so smooth and easy. Big thanks to Dave and everyone that helped make my experience great. I would highly recommend Trident if you're looking to upgrade your bathroom."
"The entire remodel was a great experience. Our home is over 30 years old and when my husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s the bathroom was no longer sufficient. The team came in and assessed my husband’s needs and tore out the old bathtub and put in a walk in shower. Raised the toilet and placed hand bars. They were in and out, the installers were respectful and clean."
"Mad City was personable and professional with all that needed to be done at my home. Patio door replacement, bedroom window replacement, and shower stall installation. They even hired a subcontractor to repair a hole in the ceiling that was caused by a leaky bathtub. My highest complements!"

"Amazing Pro! I am going to hire them, just not at this time. I am saving for the roof replacement and will come back and hire them when I do have the money. Thank you home Advisor for pointing me to a great professional contractor. :-)"
"I had a paper come in my mailbox for this company and I called the number and the next day they sent out the lovely sales representative Angie! She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in this process of helping me make my bathtub into a shower due to my disability.

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.
Of the two most common and affordable bathtub materials, acrylic is notably better. Though fiberglass is cheaper, it is also more prone to scratching, chipping, fading, and cracking. Acrylic holds up better to wear and tear, cleaning, and sun exposure; the slight cost increase is usually worth the increased longevity.
DIY installation of a walk-in tub is not recommended as it is a challenging and risky project that requires advanced plumbing knowledge. Professional installation is crucial to ensure a proper and safe setup, water-tight conditions, adherence to local building codes, and the preservation of your product's warranty.
Acrylic bathtubs can last up to 30 years without major issues if they receive the right care and maintenance. They can last even longer but might scratch or stain as they age. The expected longevity is a major factor when investing in a new tub. Cast-iron tubs are the longest-lasting option.
It’s substantially less expensive to reglaze a tub than to replace it.
