"Michael, Tommy & Aiden did a fantastic job removing our separate shower and bathtub and converting the tub space into a walk in shower. The guys were respectful, and helpful with any questions we had. They kept us informed with each step of the way. They cleaned up before the job was over and went over instructions. Highly recommend Jaccuzizi and this crew."
"This was the most pleasant, professional and efficient company to work with. The price was fanominal at several thousand less than the next big boy company. The product is great! The time for installation was very low. The end product is exceptional. If you want a caring, qualified and knowledgeable company to install a walking tub this is absolutely the one you want to use!!!"
"Our family has worked with GA Chott for nearly seven years. Our first project was a full basement completion; most recently we used GA Chott to replace all of our exterior lights and bathroom fans. Darryll is a wealth of knowledge, and very professional. I was most impressed with the mini- project as the original start date had to be pushed back. Darryll did an amazing job of communicating this via email. In addition to the quality work, GA Chott’s pricing is definitely fair."
"My investment property was vacant for so long that the entire property needed a complete remodel. I was fortunate enough to have been referred to Vinny, the owner of Romaine Construction. Vinny stopped by our property and provided his professional feedback of what needed to be taken care of right away, he was responsive, professional, and he did a great job of my entire building. Vinny took me step by step through all of the areas that required my attention. He rebuilt my patio deck, replaced kitchen cabinets, sink and installed flooring throughout the house. My husband and I are completely happy with his work and will definitely rehire him and his team to take care of our property remodeling and construction needs!"
"Great presentation by Nick. Very nice, informative, professional and knowledgeable. Super quality products and vert6competitive pricing. Because of very busy installation schedules, it will take 4-6 weeks before walkin shower remodel can happen. We can wait, no problem. It will be worth it."
"Matt arrived on time and was efficient at replacing floor tiles. Do you think customer service is gone, well so did we until Matt Hemingway came to replace three broken tiles. He finished in 90 minutes and that included going back to hardware store for a different color grout because he didn't like the way it looked. When done you could not tell the floor had been fixed. Excellent job. Highly recommend."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
The best bathroom floor tiles are strong enough to withstand the weight of a clawfoot tub. However, professional tile installation is essential. If the tiles are uneven or improperly fixed, they may crack under the pressure. Be careful when installing the tub—if it drops or drags on the tiles, it could easily cause scratches or cracks.
Start by gutting the old fixtures and features that need to be removed, such as the tile, vanity, and flooring. You may benefit by removing the toilet, even if you intend to use the same one. Next, install the new shower or tub, followed by the flooring, and then the drywall, which you should then paint. After that, install your new cabinets, vanity, countertop, sink, and faucet, in that order. Replace your light fixture next. Lastly, reconnect the toilet.
Resurfacing a bathtub is less expensive than replacing one. Resurfacing a tub costs about $330 to $630, depending on the material, while replacing a tub costs an average of $4,150. But remember that resurfacing is a temporary solution for a worn-out tub, and you may need to refinish a tub every few years to keep it looking new.
The order of your bathroom renovation should prevent damage to the completed work. Start with demolition and removing the old fixtures. Then, address structural repairs or water damage, if needed. Next, tackle the rough-in phase for plumbing and electrical work, install waterproofing, and work on wall treatments like tile or paint. Install your shower or bathtub, toilet, vanity, and sink. Flooring goes in after major fixtures but before the toilet. Lastly, install new lighting fixtures, mirrors, and other finishing touches as desired.
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.
