"The reglaze of my bathtub looks fantastic, like a brand new tub! They also re caulked the bathtub and two sinks, and the errands in the kitchen. The whole job looks great, and they charged less than two other contractors I got estimates from."

"Andy and his crew are terrific! We hired them to remove a popcorn ceiling and replace it with a skim coat and plaster. Two hallways and living room. They did a wonderful job. And were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. It was a lot of dust! Thank you Andy and Mikey."

"David was a big help in renovating our 125 yr old Brownstone — he did a lot of creative wood working to modernize the home but without looking its 19th Century’s charm. He replicated a lot of the century old woodwork and had inventive fixes for any problems that came up as they always do in old homes . They worked magic on my old plaster walls to refurbish and repaint them. Our bathroom reno is gorgeous. and he did a great job with our deck addition off our kitchen. He and his crew worked promptly and furiously to get my reno project completed on time. I’ll always call on him on any future projects."

"Jimmy is a true professional with a solid work ethic. I was given a clear quote for the work and a thorough explanation of what needed to be done. I would certainly call them again for any future plumbing work. We decided to go with JRS Maintenance for a leak in our cast iron water pipes, which later turned into a bigger job. The nearby pipes were already showing signs of decay, so after an honest conversation with Jimmy, we just settled on changing that whole section leading up to the small leak with PVC (a much-needed upgrade). He arrived on time and made sure to call in advance. The old plumbing came with some concerns, which were shared in advance, but overall the job went smoothly. No doubt due to Jimmy’s skills and experience. Overall, the job didn't break the bank and ended up saving us a big headache. Glad I chose JRS."

"I'm so glad I chose these guys. I was left with a thoroughly trashed apartment by a tenant. They came, they looked and they conquered. Easy to work with, pleasant as can be and they left with a new apartment that could be in 'House Beautiful" Cost was reasonable and the few items that had to be reviewed were quickly attended to. These are my guys to go to first, now and in the future. Do you need a job that has to be done well? Give Nunez a call."

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts

Different bathtub materials have various advantages and disadvantages. Cast iron and copper are considered the most durable materials because they are dense and resistant to damage from scratches or dents. However, cast-iron tubs are heavy, expensive, and may not be suitable for upper floors. Copper offers unique benefits but requires regular chemical treatment to prevent a patina from forming, making cast iron a less maintenance-intensive option. Porcelain is a good second choice for durability. For those on a budget, acrylic is a popular option, though it is less durable.

Start by gutting the old fixtures and features that need to be removed, such as the tile, vanity, and flooring. You may benefit by removing the toilet, even if you intend to use the same one. Next, install the new shower or tub, followed by the flooring, and then the drywall, which you should then paint. After that, install your new cabinets, vanity, countertop, sink, and faucet, in that order. Replace your light fixture next. Lastly, reconnect the toilet.

Fiberglass tubs last between 10 and 15 years or more if they’re well-maintained. Proper care will help them last as long as possible. However, fiberglass bathtubs are prone to cracking, fading, and scratches over time. Bathtub installation by a plumber is one of the best ways to ensure your tub has the right support to last its full lifespan.

You can put a structure under your bathtub for support. Many modern tubs come with a built-in support structure underneath. Almost any type of mortar or floor-leveling compound is acceptable for new bathtubs that don’t include a support structure.

You can also install spray foam under an existing bathtub to eliminate or reduce squeaking or sagging. However, spray foam isn’t rigid enough for primary tub support.

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.
