"Gorgeous work!! Friendly and confident workers. We are SUPER happy with our new bathtub and shower wall. We loved our sales rep, and the installer was great too. They were both very understanding of our hectic home with three kiddos ?? we only had a shower stall in our main bathroom before the install, so we are really enjoying the deep soaker bathtub with kids! A lot less splashing on the floor. So thankful for all of the hard work put into this for us!!"
""We couldn?t be more pleased with the shower replacement. From start to finish, the crew was professional, friendly, and respectful of our home. They kept the work area neat every day and delivered a beautiful, high-quality bathroom. A+ service all the way!""
"We had a really poor setup in our master bathroom. The shower was not squared off properly when it was built and the original builders did some funky framing and shimming to make it work. Secure Bathing came in, fixed the framing so the shower was square, found us a shower pan to fit our non-standard size, and helped us pick out the right items to stay within our budget. They were able to work us into their schedule in a very short amount of time and communicated with us really well. In the end we got a beautiful shower with a warranty for an extremely reasonable price."
"In preparation for winter, I contracted for a roof inspection to be performed. Jason Lance nailed down shingles that were lifted up by the wind, and secured the nail heads with caulk. He also caulked around exhaust pipes on the roof. Furthermore, he reinstalled tw pieces of siding that had fallen off. He also caulked around the sump pump exhaust. Jason did provide before and after pictures of his work. In providing a cost estimate for bathroom exhaust fans replacement, he demonstrated his knowledge in home ventillation systems, due to his previous experience in home construction."

"I could not ask for a more efficient or professional upgrade to my bathroom. David and Kenny came to my house and surpassed my expectations. If I wanted more than was given I would have been unreasonable. From the point of sale to the completion of this install I am impressed, a happy camper as it were. No claim was made that has not been fulfilled. My thanks to The Bath Authority for the improvement to my home and the highly skilled people that put it all together."

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
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.
If your tub is attached to the wall, the best material will be one that can be shaped to fit your space perfectly. A cast-polymer, acrylic, or fiberglass tub will likely be the easiest to install as a built-in because it can be designed to fit your space.
Plan your budget, storage needs, accessibility features, and design aesthetics before starting.
The diverter valve in your bathtub is responsible for diverting water between your tub spout and your shower head. If water comes out of both at the same time, you have a faulty diverter valve. You can have a plumber replace this for you, or you can replace it yourself if you have some experience working with plumbing fixtures.
Technically, yes, you can put a shower on a Roman tub, but it's not common. The vast majority of Roman tubs are standalone models. Adding a shower would involve installing a ceiling-mounted curtain rod or a custom glass enclosure, as well as redoing the plumbing, making it neither easy nor budget-friendly.
