"Brody was awesome to work with to have my bathtub and surround remodeled. From the start he was very pleasant to talk to and stayed in communication during the entire process to make sure I was aware of what was happening next. I love how the bathroom turned out and I'd highly recommend."
"Had a bathtub taken out and converted to walk in shower unit. The quality seems top notch and installer was great. Installation was over 2-3 days but this was due to a bad snow storm in the area with hazardous roads that caused traffic accidents. The installer went out of his way to do everything he could to expedite it while maintaining a quality install, which I feel he accomplished. Only part I did not like was the hard sell approach of the sales person. Be prepared. Fortunately I had done my research on this company and am comfortable in my decision. Time will tell how well it holds up, but the warranty looks like a good lifetime one. Would definitely use them again."
"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!!"

"Steve did a great job. His price was highly competitive and the workmanship was great. He managed the entire project including bulkhead demolition, wall partition removal needed for the built-in pantry, wallboard replacement and flooring replacement. The ceiling work was done so well you cannot even tell that we had bulkheads. His workers were very professional and the job was completed quickly once it started. Our kitchen is beautiful and we get many complements. I graded Champion down slightly in professionalism only because their design/marketing guy was a bit rough around the edges and rubbed us the wrong way at times. Steve more than made up for it though and gained our confidence in his work and I'm happy to refer others to him!"
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
You should consider replacing your bathtub if the tub—or any potential refinishing—is older than about 20 years old. However, acrylic and fiberglass bathtubs have a shorter lifespan (about 10 to 15 years). You may decide to replace your bathtub sooner if there are stains or mold you can’t get rid of, no matter how much you clean it, or if you find leaks and cracks that could lead to costly water damage.
If you have an alcove in your bathroom, you don’t necessarily need to install an alcove tub. You can choose a drop-in tub and fit the frame to the alcove. This allows you to get a more custom or spa-like look. Think cultured marble or tiling for the frame versus the simpler look of acrylic or fiberglass with an alcove tub.
When buying caulk, look for ones labeled for tub and tile. These have either acrylic latex or silicone compounds. This allows the caulk to stick to smooth surfaces and prevent mildew from forming.
Updating to modern styles and efficient models can enhance bathroom appeal and increase property value.
It is possible to install a two-in-one unit that has both a shower and a walk-in tub so you can still have both in smaller bathrooms or provide a showerhead for those in the household who prefer taking showers. You’ll hear these referred to as walk-in tub and shower combo units. Keep in mind that these combo units can take up more space than a standard shower or tub, and you’ll most likely need to hire a pro to install one.
