What do you put under a bathtub for support?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to install a walk-in bathtub?

• <div><p>Installing a walk-in bathtub can be worth it if it improves the user's safety and independence. However, because walk-in tubs require a large investment, not every homeowner has the means or desire to install one. As an alternative, some homeowners prefer to install a walk-in shower and transfer bench instead. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-walk-in-shower-cost.htm">Walk-in showers cost</a> between <b>$1,150 and $8,000</b>, making them far more budget-friendly in comparison.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a drop-in and an alcove tub?

• <div><p>An alcove tub fits in an alcove in your bathroom, against three walls. Drop-in tubs, on the other hand, are dropped into an enclosure or frame. You can put this frame anywhere in a bathroom as long as it fits. Since the frame is custom-built, drop-in tubs come in more design options and a wider range of materials.</p></div>

Q: In what order do you renovate a bathroom?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How many days does it take to convert a tub to a walk-in shower?

• <div><p>If you want to convert a tub to a walk-in shower, expect this project to take anywhere from one to three days. It takes less time to remove a standard tub and install a standard-sized prefabricated shower. Your project will take longer if you&rsquo;re installing new plumbing and tiling. Certain custom tiling designs can take three or four days if they&rsquo;re elaborate.</p></div>

"Last October, my sister, an elderly veteran living alone, contracted Genie Bath Systems to remodel her master and guest baths. She was diagnosed cancer and passed before the remodel was complete. Which, to be fair as we were not able to work with Genie while attending to my sister. The contract was expensive. Very expensive. The cost of the remodel is close to 1/4th the value of her home. I noticed there were issues with the remodel that showed a surprising lack of attention to detail. Genie sent people to address the issues twice. Yet issues remain. My calls to my contact at Genie are now being ignored. Also, the only document I have for the remodel is the contract my sister signed. It is not detailed. I have and continue to ask for a breakdown of the cost. An estimate or work order. This request is also being ignored. I am disappointed and have to wonder why Genie will not provide this information. I have several other questions for Genie that I will not go into here. But based on my experience, I cannot recommend Genie. In fact I would warn anyone considering Genie to be very careful about the cost of the contract."
