"As soon as the supplies came in, I was called, and they started work the next day. They laid down drop cloths and cleaned up after themselves. The plumbing changes that were needed to put in the new shower were done professionally."
"George with Independence Plumbing and Bath exceeded my expectations. I had a tub and shower remodel that was not only finished earlier than quoted, but completed with such quality and at a great price. George is punctual, has great communication, and definitely knows what he?s doing and does it with care and professionalism. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who needs any bathroom repairs or remodels."
""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 cannot be more pleased. The quality of these products and the difference they have made in our home is beyond belief. My special note to our customer relationship representative, Angela Kermec, our sales representative, Robert Mocker, as well as the excellent Window Depot installation team. Robert initially worked with us on our replacement projects. He was punctual, reliable and works very hard to give the customer exactly what they are looking for. Angela stopped by and oversaw the project the day of installation and answered all of our questions during the installation with members of the installation team. The installation team worked very diligently and completed all of our replacements in about 5 to 6 hours. The installation team works exclusively under the Window Depot USA of Youngstown umbrella, which we were very pleased with. Very nice cleanup after the work was completed. We cannot recommend the team at Window Depot USA of Youngstown enough. We especially liked supporting two excellent companies (Window Depot USA of Youngstown and ProVia) who are headquartered locally in Ohio and in the Youngstown area and Sugarcreek, respectively."
"they are very detail oriented. We ran into electrical issues in the beginning of the job and they rewired the whole first floor as they progressed. Everything went smoothly and turned out beautifully. They cleaned up every day to make the intrusion as minimal as possible. Very good experience. "
"Owner Matt did a phenomenal job. He stayed with us and was patient until we were 100% satisfied with the job. Easy to work with, flexible with changes or additions to the job and truly made sure it was done well. We opted to finish some of the things ourselves (like painting) but can’t wait to enjoy this new bathroom!"
"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"
"I just want to say thank you to Miller Custom Carpentry and Remodeling. Zach, the owner, did a fantastic job on my bathroom remodel and now I love my new bathroom! He was on time and very clean and tidy in my home! I would definitely recommend Miller Custom Carpentry! Thank you!"
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
DIY installation of a walk-in tub is not recommended as it is a challenging and risky project that requires advanced plumbing knowledge. Professional installation is crucial to ensure a proper and safe setup, water-tight conditions, adherence to local building codes, and the preservation of your product's warranty.
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.
Whether replacing a bathtub with a shower affects your home's value depends on several factors, with the most significant being whether it's the only tub in the house. Removing the sole bathtub can lower a home's value because many prospective buyers, particularly families with young children or pets, require at least one.
However, a tub-to-shower conversion can also increase home value. A modern walk-in shower is often seen as an upgrade in a secondary bathroom and can be a desirable feature for its accessibility and style, appealing to older homebuyers or those without children. The overall impact is also influenced by your local real estate market and its typical buyer demographic.
If your bathroom layout allows, installing both a freestanding bathtub and a separate shower can be an ideal solution that appeals to the widest range of potential buyers.
Resurfacing a bathtub is less expensive than replacing one. Resurfacing a tub costs about $330 to $630, depending on the material, while replacing a tub costs an average of $4,150. But remember that resurfacing is a temporary solution for a worn-out tub, and you may need to refinish a tub every few years to keep it looking new.
The cost to replace a bathtub is $2,000 to $9,400.Whether you want to spruce up your bathroom or your existing bathtub is not functioning correctly, purchasing a new tub costs about $5,700 with installation. Prices depend on the type and size of the tub.
