"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"
"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."
"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!"
"Small space but a big transformation! This compact bathroom got a full remodel, brand new flooring , bathtub, vanity, toilet and fresh tile work on the walls . Everything looks clean, modern and very functional. We're really with how it turned out .
Thanks again Guys"
"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"
"I am very happy with my new shower. Takesha and John D. Were amazing. Takessha walked me through everything that they were going to do, take out tub, remove all tile and drywall.I had a drain pipe, that ran along my tub on the outside wall. We worked it out that, Takesha would have to pack out the wall a extra 21/2, to make it all work. Takesha and John really impressed me., they were amazing. They were super clean and coved everything. I am so very happy with there work and how sweet they both were. Thanks again Takesha and John D. And West Shore home"
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Installing a clawfoot tub with a minimum of 6 inches of clearance from surrounding walls allows ample room for the faucet and pipework, makes cleaning easier, and reduces the chance of moisture being trapped between the tub and the walls. It might need to be closer if the faucet comes directly out of the wall.
Updating to modern styles and efficient models can enhance bathroom appeal and increase property value.
Bathtub and shower liners come in different colors, so make sure you select one to match the rest of the bathroom. Hire a local bath liner installer for the job since they have the expertise, tools, and materials to install it correctly. Request at least three quotes from various contractors and compare their rates and services.
There are a few things you can do to keep your bathroom remodel as affordable as possible in your mobile home:
Ask your contractor to replace caulk and grout rather than retiling
Ask your professional to refinish your tub/shower rather than replacing
Upgrade your sink fixtures rather than replacing the sink
Upgrade cabinet hardware and ask your remodeler to refinish the cabinets
Avoid changing the layout of your bathroom
The plumbing industry has standardized the sizes for bathtub drains. They are 1 1/2 inches wide to fit all standard bathtubs from 14 to 26 inches deep. The standard sizing is to ensure that the drain fits into the P trap, a special part of your piping that prevents sewer water from bubbling up into your home (yuck).
