"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."
"Fast tub replacement with walk in shower, 3 safety grab bars all new shower fixtures and a shower seat that folds up on back wall. Job was done in one long day for the installers who were courtesy."
"Had parker’s plumbing come out to replace my tub and surround and he did it in one day! jacob was a very personable and knowledgeable plumber! will call and use again!"
"We had our main bathroom gutted and remodeled. Replaced a tub with a walk in shower. Redid drywall, flooring, plumbing, and electrical. The job was started on the day we picked and done within the time frame that was promised. They arrived at the time they said they would each day and did a good job cleaning up as they went along. Everyone was friendly and easy to work with. They also were great with our two dogs. Working with an older home always has additional challenges. Every challenge like an additional layer of drywall having to be ripped out and replaced correctly was done while staying on budget. They really took the time to make sure that everything was just what we wanted and the way we wanted it. I would highly recommend Romine Contracting to my family and friends. We will definitely be calling him again when we are ready for our next remodel project. Thanks Vinny Beth & Bob"
"Outstanding job. Quick and efficient. Came to give me an estimate the next day and two days later, my walk-in shower was installed. I had to replace a tub/shower combination due to cracks on the flooring and leaking water and I chose to replace it with a walk in shower. It is really nice and I love it."
"Shawn and his crew did an excellent job and even made suggestions based on his vast experience that made the project run smooth, on time and inline with my budget. I do not hesitate to reccomend CoCara to anyone needing a reputable and reliable contractor."
"MH Contracting is my number one choice for any type of plumbing work. First, their Veteran owned and that means a lot! Equally important is that they perform the highest quality work. They're, organized, responsive, respectful, professional, courteous, get the work completed the first time and they clean up after themselves. They truly take care of the customer. I first met them through a general contractor who signed on to do a large remodel project for me that included the complete rearranging of all second floor plumbing. They were impressive during the remodel and because of that, I've used them for all my plumbing work ever since! They're fantastic and won't disappoint!"
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Installing a bathtub can be complex, depending on your prior plumbing experience, the type of bathtub you’re installing, and whether you need to make any changes to your bathroom’s plumbing. It’s advisable to leave this job to the pros, especially if you’re new to the world of plumbing.
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.
Persistent leaks, outdated styles, or surface damage are indicators for a replacement.
What you include in your bathroom remodel will depend on your budget, personal preferences, and the current condition of your bathroom. Bathroom renovations often involve changing out the shower or tub, faucet, showerhead, tiles, flooring, mirrors, sink, cabinets, and vanities. You may also want to upgrade the wallcovering, adding new wallpaper or paint.
Installing a clawfoot tub with a minimum of 6 inches of clearance from surrounding walls allows ample room for the faucet and pipework, makes cleaning easier, and reduces the chance of moisture being trapped between the tub and the walls. It might need to be closer if the faucet comes directly out of the wall.
