Q: Can I install a drop-in tub myself?

• <div><p>Installing a drop-in tub yourself is possible, especially if you&rsquo;re replacing your existing tub with a new one of the same size. If you&rsquo;re replacing a different type of tub, you&rsquo;ll need to build the structure to hold the new drop-in tub and finish the exposed sides. The structure must be sturdy enough to hold the tub when it&rsquo;s filled with water, and you&rsquo;ll need to seal it. If any plumbing work is required, it&rsquo;s best to call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-should-i-hire-bathtub-replacement-handyman-plumber.htm">licensed plumber who installs bathtubs</a>. </p></div>

Q: What is the most common type of tub?

• <div><p>The most common type of tub is the alcove; most bathtubs are shower and tub combinations. Many suburban homes feature these as the default option because they allow the flexibility for users to take a bath or a shower&mdash;a notable benefit for those with pets and young kids. </p></div>

Q: How far should a clawfoot tub be from the wall?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace a bathtub with a walk-in shower?

• <div><p>The cost to replace a bathtub with a walk-in shower ranges from <b>$1,500 to $8,000</b>. Custom showers are towards the high end, while prefab showers are on the low end. The total cost depends on upgrades and additional features like smart technology, accessibility features, unique tiling, or luxury fixtures.</p></div>

Q: How often should a bathtub be replaced?

• <div><p>You should consider replacing your bathtub if the tub&mdash;or any potential refinishing&mdash;is older than about 20 years old. However, acrylic and fiberglass bathtubs have a shorter lifespan (about 10 to 15 years). You may decide to replace your bathtub sooner if there are stains or mold you can&rsquo;t get rid of, no matter how much you clean it, or if you find leaks and cracks that could lead to costly water damage.</p></div>

Too many receipts to understand details (maybe that's the point), but my daughter bought a new iPhone7 last October. The phone cost $749.99 + $43.01 tax. The offer was $300 off, but the bill shows only -$12.50 monthly deducted from another account of ours, not $300 off original price right away....
