"Cody H. and Tracy D. Did an awesome job replacing my old cast iron bathtub with a new shower/bathtub! Couldnâ t be happier with the work and appreciated the time they took to review what was to be done and the walk through when it was completed."
"I was expecting a total renovation but with American Home Design we only changed the bathtub for a walk in shower. The rest of the renovation was left for us to contend with. For the high cost I thought we would have everything completed. I am happy with the shower and the lifetime warranty on it!"

"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"
"Outstanding job. Quick and efficient. Came to give me an estimate the next day and two days later, my walk-in shower was installed. I had to replace a tub/shower combination due to cracks on the flooring and leaking water and I chose to replace it with a walk in shower. It is really nice and I love 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.
Plan your budget, storage needs, accessibility features, and design aesthetics before starting.
An alcove tub is designed to fit into a three-walled enclosure in a bathroom. A drop-in tub, on the other hand, is placed into a custom-built frame or enclosure. This frame can be fitted to an alcove, making a drop-in tub a viable alternative if you want a more custom or spa-like look. Because the frame is custom, drop-in tubs offer more design flexibility and a wider range of materials, such as cultured marble or tile, compared to the simpler acrylic or fiberglass of a typical alcove tub. The frame for a drop-in tub can also be placed anywhere in the bathroom it fits, not just in an alcove.
A professional bathtub installation or replacement typically takes one to three days, depending on the project's complexity and any necessary alterations. If you hire a professional, most replacements can be completed in one to three days. However, if you choose the DIY route, the process could take up to a month, as it involves removing the old tub and drywall, installing the new tub, repairing the drywall, and installing new tiling.
A chipped bathtub could leak over time if you don’t take care of the issue. A tiny chip isn’t a big deal but may eventually grow into a larger crack. As the months go by, the tub’s barrier against moisture becomes weakened, making it prone to leaking. Large chips can also cause the tub to rust and even crack in half.
