"I have had several experiences with Blanton.’s over the past few years. I have been very pleased with their employees, teams, and, particularly, their overall business practices. Having had 2 basement floods in the past few years caused by hairpin holes in the pipes. They did a great job repairing/replacing all of my pipes, some electrical work, and HVAC, all in a timely and safe manner. The technicians would give descriptions and probable time/costs their tasks would require. They were polite! Only late yesterday afternoon, I called them to tell of a leak under my kitchen sink. The technicians were here at 8:30 am this morning, repaired the leak, AND advised me there was no charge. How many firms would do that!!!"
"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."
"The staff was very professional. The repairs were done excellently. The painting was done very well. The staff was willing to work within my schedule. I would recommend without reservation."
"We called in a panic because our kitchen sink was leaking all over the floor and they came first thing the next morning . Not only were they fast and professional, but the repair was a lot less than I'd expect. Thank you for such a great experience !!!"
"The Porters did an amazing job from start to finish. They were in constant communication with my husband and I from start to finish. Boy, we had a lot of questions. Mr Porter had to run new and replace the water pipes during his renovation, install two toilets, install vanity and sink, install light fixtures, install mirrors, install new shower, install new tub, install new tiles all the way to the ceiling, and even replace a crack wall by lifting the foundation. The ceramic tiles look amazing. I am extremely happy with the upgrades and the care he provided during his renovation. He takes pride in his work. Mrs Porter as well provided assistance with her knowledge of products and recommendations. I definitely will hire them again. Thank you guys for providing us with two amazing bathrooms. So happy to hire such reliable people."
"Fayetteville Flooring is AWESOME! They replaced our carpet in our upstairs bedroom in 2015 and we called them to replace our carpet in our great room in 2021 and my husband and I are VERY HAPPY with their work. The staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful with any questions that we had about all carpet styles. We would definitely recommend them to anyone."
"Since I had my entire bathroom done, i.e., new ceiling, floor, paint, vanity, toilet and above toilet cabinet and tub/shower converted to walk in shower, Lillian was extremely helpful in eliminating the stress of bringing this all together. The shower is beautiful as is everything else. We will be doing my husband's bathroom next year and plan on using Luxury Bath & Kitchens at that time as well. I highly recommend them."
Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
Experts use innovative designs and techniques to maximize your space, creating the illusion of size while enhancing functionality.
How much room you need for a roll-in shower depends on your goals and the specifications of your shower. Most roll-in showers require at least 60-by-30 inches of space, and at least 60-by-60 inches is best for comfort and maneuverability. When planning the size of your roll-in shower, consider your needs for comfort and additional installations, such as benches and grab bars, that can make the space tighter.
There are three main types of shower valves: pressure-balancing, thermostatic, and diverter. Pressure-balancing and thermostatic valves are both considered mixing valves because they regulate water flow and temperature, but they do so in different ways. A pressure-balancing valve senses changes in water pressure, such as from a flushing toilet, and adjusts the incoming hot and cold water to maintain a consistent temperature; these typically use a single knob. A thermostatic valve uses a thermostat to precisely control the water temperature and requires a separate control to adjust the water volume. A diverter valve directs the flow of water from one fixture to another, such as switching from a tub faucet to a showerhead in a tub-shower combination.
The lifespan of a shower base depends on how often the shower is used, how it’s used, and how well it’s maintained. Acrylic and fiberglass shower bases last 10 to 15 years, while tile shower bases can last up to 20 years. However, if two people often use the shower at once or if heavy items are regularly dropped in the shower, the shower base’s lifespan might be shorter than average.
Yes, a toilet, sink, and shower can share the same vent. This is a common installation method that can simplify plumbing and save space. However, there are important considerations. The vent and associated plumbing must be large enough to handle the demands of all fixtures without compromising the vent's effectiveness. Additionally, the toilet should always be located downstream of all other fixtures. Because requirements can vary and space might be limited, it is essential to check your local building and plumbing codes and consult with a qualified plumber to ensure the installation is done correctly.
