"Bernard and Jonah did a excellent job on taking out the tub and installing the shower would recommend them to all my friends and family they were very friendly and answered all my questions"
"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 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."
""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 replaced our bathtub with a walk in shower, and are extremely happy with the work that was provided. In only took one person 6 hours to complete the job, and he was very professional and the quality of work was great. Would hire them again."
"Our bathtub was leaking and the floor was dipping. John the representative was wonderful to work with. In 2 weeks Matt the installer came out and removed our cast iron tub. He repaired the plumbing, put in a new subfloor and installed a walk in shower. He was a hard worker and answered any questions we had. Our bathroom looks beautiful! We are very happy. And there is a lifetime warranty!"
"We?re very happy with the results!
Everything is brand new tub, tile, vanity, flooring, fixtures and the whole process was quick and smooth. The team worked clean, stayed on schedule, and delivered exactly what we wanted. Huge thanks!"
"Dan is a rock star! He solved my plumbing problem finally. Previous repair people fell short and could not do anything that was helpful. I have trust in Hobbs company. They really helped me out."
"I recently had Lance Homes complete a couple of upgrades in my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He installed new cabinet hardware throughout my kitchen and also replaced my bathroom vanity—and everything turned out absolutely beautiful.
From start to finish, he was professional, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. The cabinet hardware was installed perfectly and instantly gave my kitchen a fresh, updated look. The new bathroom vanity installation was just as impressive—clean, precise work with great attention to detail.
What really stood out was his craftsmanship and care. He treated my home with respect, showed up on time, and made sure everything was done right.
Highly recommend Lance Homes if you’re looking for quality work and a team you can trust!"
"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
Yes, $5,000 is a healthy budget for a DIY bathroom renovation. It can go a long way in making the space more accessible and stylishly spa-like. Providing you stick to modest materials and don’t make any major plumbing or structural changes, you can upgrade fixtures, retile, and add some stylish bathroom accessories and savvy storage solutions to maximize the space.
Roman tubs are very different from ordinary tubs. A Roman tub is typically deeper and broader than a traditional tub, and it's often installed on a custom platform with the faucet positioned on the deck rather than on the wall. Ordinary tubs are more shallow and usually feature built-in shower options.
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.
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.
A powder room cannot have a bath. If it had a bath, it would likely be considered a three-quarter bath or full bath, depending on the other features. You might hear the term “powder room” used to describe a bathroom used by guests, but it wouldn’t technically be a powder room. However, powder rooms or half baths are ideal for guests because they can use it without entering the more private areas of the home.
