"Bath Expo was so good. The communication was excellent in discussing the process of my installation of a new bathtub. They were forthright in all aspects of the installation.Joe Gerritsen and Lisa were great . Very thorough in their work and went above and beyond their respective roles. Clean up was done extremely well. Would highly recommend."
"I had a total bathroom remodel. The bathroom was gutted, new floors, bathtub and shower, cabinets, toilet, fixtures. They helped me pick everything out, and the job was completed in the time frame that was given me. The price that was quoted to me initially was also the same amount that I had to pay. The workers were punctual, friendly, experienced, and neat. I love my new bathroom and would recommend this company to my friends. I also had a kitchen remodel that turned out beautiful with this same company before my bathroom."
"Great ! Lance Handyman ordered custom materials for our sliding door. Stayed in communication while waiting for supplies to come in, and then fixed our door ! Saved us so much money versus a replacement, and also taught me how to care for the door moving forward"
"Yes, they did an excellent job. The only hitch was in a purchased faucet handle for the shower. It was missing screws, so someone had to come back two days later to install the handle. Otherwise, quick and beautiful job completed in one day."
"Needed remodeling for a house built in 1959 that looked like the bathrooms and the kitchen were original and needed to be brought into the 21st century! The main bathroom had a tub and we wanted a walk in shower with a curb-less / barrier free floor and Marcus delivered. Everything else was also replaced and electrical and plumbing updated. Good company to work with."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Yes, you can remove a bathtub yourself if you have previous DIY experience and basic plumbing knowledge. You should have at least one other person help you if you approach this project as a DIY. However, hiring a plumber or bathroom remodeling pro can prevent accidental damage from demolition or water leakage.
Acrylic tubs can fade or turn yellow over time due to thick layers of accumulated dirt, hard water deposits from minerals, and shampoo or soap dyes. Also, as an acrylic tub ages, it may become dull or change color due to changes in the acrylic itself.
The order of your bathroom renovation should prevent damage to the completed work. Start with demolition and removing the old fixtures. Then, address structural repairs or water damage, if needed. Next, tackle the rough-in phase for plumbing and electrical work, install waterproofing, and work on wall treatments like tile or paint. Install your shower or bathtub, toilet, vanity, and sink. Flooring goes in after major fixtures but before the toilet. Lastly, install new lighting fixtures, mirrors, and other finishing touches as desired.
A drop-in tub is just one of the types of bathtubs available. Depending on your needs and the space available, you can consider an alcove tub for quick installation, a whirlpool tub for added relaxation, a freestanding tub for a statement piece, or a corner tub to take advantage of the space in a larger bathroom.
The overflow drain and wastewater drain connect to the same main pipe to take water away from your bathtub. Your overflow drain is meant to prevent damage to your bathroom—especially the floor around your bathtub, where excess water can quickly create a mold or mildew problem.
