"Cody M and Tim did an excellent job. Very professional. Showed up early and worked straight through until they were finished. They took out an old bathtub and shower and replaced it with new. Very please with their work."
"I can’t say enough about Three Rivers Remodeling, LLC. ! Dion was excellent! He followed through on contacting me when I couldn’t get responses from other companies. He made useful suggestions, listened to my opinions/concerns and was definitely customer oriented. He quoted a very reasonable price. Very professional and dedicated. Can’t thank Dion and John enough... it truly turned out to be my dream bathroom!"
"Great sale experience! Took the time to go through options, and set expectations that were exceeded. Installation was great as well! The sent out someone when it worked for my schedule. Will be using again for other projects! This was for a bathtub and surround replacement"
"I hired Luiz to remove kitchen cabinets, dishwasher, cooktop, oven and lift hardwood flooring. He then reinstalled the cabinets and appliances. Ceramic tile was installed to perfection. He also repaired some walls and painted the ceiling. Looks great! Easy to work with, very professional and fair market value pricing too. Iâ  m recommending him to my family!"
"Dan was an absolute pleasure to work with & does amazing, detailed work. From start to finish, he worked clean, with great attention to detail. Our new tub with subway tile walls is gorgeous. We are so pleased with Dan & will be using him for future projects in our home. Very highly recommend."

"Brian came to our home to do a tub to shower installation. He was very respectful and reviewed what he would be doing. The project was completed within the time frame we were told. Again, he reviewed what he had done and how to properly care for the shower. It really looks great and we are looking forward to using it. Thank you Brian and rite window team. Respectfully Leslie Greeley Brewster Ma"
"Mark and his team were fantastic to work with. We wanted to have 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bath completely remodeled - gutted down to the studs. Mark was prompt with responses, great to collaborate with on design recommendations, and the finished product is beautiful! The entire team was polite and respectful, and they all did a great job with their various tasks, from demolition, framing out the new shower, tiling the floors and wet spaces, plumbing, drywalling, painting, installing fixtures and hardware, through to the final clean-up. We genuinely enjoyed having the team work at our house for several weeks because they were friendly and funny, and we were sad to see them go, but we have their beautiful handiwork to show for it."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
While they’re heavier than their counterparts, cast-iron tubs are very simple to maintain. They have no seams and are durable, making them the easiest tub to maintain. While fiberglass and acrylic tubs are also relatively simple to maintain, they often have seams, making maintenance a little more difficult.
Of the two most common and affordable bathtub materials, acrylic is notably better. Though fiberglass is cheaper, it is also more prone to scratching, chipping, fading, and cracking. Acrylic holds up better to wear and tear, cleaning, and sun exposure; the slight cost increase is usually worth the increased longevity.
Small bathroom renovation costs don’t have to break the bank. A $5,000 budget is realistic, provided you're not adding luxurious fittings or making complex layout changes. Changing the layout is the most costly aspect of renovating a bathroom. So if you keep the layout, do some of the job DIY (within your skillset), and use relatively affordable fixtures and accessories, you should be able to stay within your budget.
A standard bathtub can be used for soaking, but they tend to be shallower (between 15 and 18 inches deep). A soaking tub is designed to be deep enough to totally submerge yourself in the water (about 20 and 24 inches deep). Additionally, most soaking tubs are freestanding, while regular bathtubs come in various styles with drop-in, surround, and wall-mounted options available.
Acrylic tubs are extremely durable and rarely chip or crack. Even when frequently used, tubs made with this material are largely resistant to damage. However, damage may occur as the tub ages. They can also crack from damage from heavy objects and cleaners or a lack of support.
