"Revive Renovators found other things with their house, and they fixed them for us. They went above and beyond. There's nothing bad I can say about this company. They were really super good, and I hate to see them go, and I'm going to miss them. They are very honest and respectful."

"Roger was great! He did some drywall ceiling repair from a roof leak. He kept in touch while awaiting for payment from the roofing company. He arrived when he said he would. Meticulous workmanship and very personable. I will call on Roger next time I need a project completed."

"We had a FANTASTIC experience working with Mario and his team creating a bathroom (from scratch!) in our upstairs bedroom. Mario is ALWAYS on time, responsive to questions, and incredibly kind. His work is impeccable, and his attention to detail incomparable .Our bathroom looks like an upscale spa. We have since called him for other projects around our house because we know how wonderful, smart, and trustworthy he and his team are! We HIGHLY recommend him!"

"We had Tom Olson replace two toilets in our home. He was very informative, efficient and meticulous during the install. He was a pleasure to work with. He answered any questions we had and he definitely gained our confidence. We have used Cellino for a sink piping problem and the technicians were also very good at their job. We appreciate all the donations that Cellino does. It is nice to see a company pay forward to the Community it services. We will recommend the company in the future."

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts

The reasons not to install flooring underneath a bathtub outweigh the benefits. A properly installed bathtub will keep water from reaching the unprotected subfloor underneath. Installing a tub on top of finished flooring can lead to damage and scratches to the new floor. Also, a small leak from a tub drain may be more difficult to notice if finished flooring impedes water drips.

When buying caulk, look for ones labeled for tub and tile. These have either acrylic latex or silicone compounds. This allows the caulk to stick to smooth surfaces and prevent mildew from forming. 

The water supply lines run underneath the bathtub. These two pipes deliver cold and hot water to the bathtub—the cold water comes from the main water supply, and the hot water comes from the water heater. The pipes are made from copper, cream-colored plastic CPVC, or red and blue PEX tubing.

Alcove tubs come in fiberglass, acrylic, or enameled steel. Fiberglass is the most affordable but least durable, while acrylic is the highest-end and most durable (as long as you don’t go with a poor grade of acrylic, which will be prone to scratches). Enameled steel, where a steel tub is coated in a layer of porcelain, is a wallet-friendly middle ground. This material is highly durable but prone to chips.

A professional bathtub installation or replacement typically takes one to three days, depending on the project's complexity and any necessary alterations. If you hire a professional, most replacements can be completed in one to three days. However, if you choose the DIY route, the process could take up to a month, as it involves removing the old tub and drywall, installing the new tub, repairing the drywall, and installing new tiling.
