"Damien and Daniel came in and removed our old bathtub, cleaning as they’re going, and replacing it with a beautiful shower. They were efficient, courteous, and did a wonderful job. I would recommend them anytime."
"The guys that came in were quite experienced in shower and tub installations. They were extremely friendly. They installed my shower in 2 days before I left for vacation. After the installation my shower head started dripping I called the sales manager and he came out immediately and replaced the valve. It is working great now. I would highly recommend them."
"Darryll and Angie were fantastic throughout the entire process. Shortly after we selected GA Chott there was a medical situation in our family that caused us to delay the project and they were very understanding and responsive to our needs. When it came time to choose the materials and accessories, Darryll was very incredible helping in guiding our family through our selections, even making recommendations on lower price options that he felt represented better value. My wife had concerns about potential water damage behind some of the walls that weren't being replaced. Darryll told us that water damage in those areas was highly unlikely in the absence of other signs. He said he would be willing to do the extra work but that if it was his bathroom he wouldn't do it, because it would be spending well over a thousand dollars on something that wasn't likely to provide any value. When the time came to start the remodel the workers were extremely professional, courteous, and kept us informed every step of the way. We decided to make a change to how we originally had planned the electrical work which they accommodated without hesitation or additional charge even though it was more work. They finished the remodel two days before the estimate and the results were fantastic. It has been 3 months since the work was completed and have no concerns about the quality of the work. I would (and have) highly recommend GA Chott to anyone looking to do home remodeling. They clearly care about delivering great service, at a fair price, and developing long-term customers."
"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."
"Jason answered promptly, arrived on time, professional and did our repair quickly. Since he was done so fast I hoped he wouldn't have charged as much as he did but it was definitely better price than the website quoted!! We will definitely use Jason for other projects!"
"Yes replaced 16 windows. Installed from inside in one day. Only had outside work 2nd day. Replaced the plant window with a full sliding window and live the look and the tighter seal on everything. Got the UV coating that keeps the sun glare out and enjoying the sun and daylight more without squinting."
"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
Plan your budget, storage needs, accessibility features, and design aesthetics before starting.
The first thing to consider when converting a tub into a shower is whether you’d like to simply change out the tub or undertake a complete bathroom remodel. If you’re unsure, reviewing bathroom remodeling ideas can help you decide whether you’re satisfied with your space or could use a change. From there, decide if you’ll handle the job yourself or hire a pro, and then set a budget.
While tubs are fairly sturdy, you may notice cracks or holes. This kind of damage can happen from someone accidentally dropping something heavy into the tub. You might also see damage if you drop something heavy into the tub over and over again (like your extra large bottle of body wash). While you might only notice a small dent at first, this can later turn into a crack or a hole.
Also, certain cleaners that are harmful to your tub can cause damage. And if you have a fiberglass tub, you might see cracks if it was not installed properly with the right support.
It’s substantially less expensive to reglaze a tub than to replace it. The average cost of reglazing a bathtub is between $400 and $700, but that range may be higher based on where you live and the type of tub you have. Meanwhile, if you want to replace the bathtub, you’re looking at $2,000 to $9,400, with the average close to $5,700.
A chipped bathtub could leak over time if you don’t take care of the issue. A tiny chip isn’t a big deal but may eventually grow into a larger crack. As the months go by, the tub’s barrier against moisture becomes weakened, making it prone to leaking. Large chips can also cause the tub to rust and even crack in half.
