"We hired West Shore Home to replace our bathtub after I fell an broke my ribs trying to get in and out. Kimball and Fredy did a wonderful job! They walked us through every detail and made sure our old plumbing was up to date. We couldn't be happier with our new shower and we're so excited to be able to use our bathroom again! Thank you West Shore Home!!"
"Blake & Brian came and explained everything for my roof. It was in bad shape and they showed me a lot that other roofers missed. I knew the others seemed too good to be true and missed a ton of stuff. Blake & Brian worked hard to make it affordable and fit within my budget. Super excited to get my roof replaced by an amazing contractor"
"I had a wood plank with a drilled hole in it (for electrical wires) that now showed due to moving an island. They found a new wood plank and replace the one with the hole, in addition to sanding, staining, and sealing our floor. They did a beautiful job."

"It was done in about 6 hours with minimal noise and mess. It looks great! The basic package was $3995 and then we upgraded the fixtures to oil-rubbed bronze for and added a glass sliding door for. We also added a tower to hold soap/shampoos. You do pay extra for every little thing you add/change. The basic $3995 (price is now a little higher)only covered the base, basic flat marble look walls & chrome moen fixtures. Having said that, we looked at all the similar companies - whitewater, bathcrest, re-bath, contractor and this was the nicest product, with the least hassle. They have a nice showroom in Sandy. They will give you prices up front. Their product has a lifetime guarantee. I have spoken/met with everyone from the sales agent, office manager, installer & owner and they are all super with customer service. It is a little more expensive than getting a contractor and doing a base with tile walls, but this is a seamless, groutless product, no hassle install & lifetime warranty. The money makes that worth it to us!"
"A++ When all was lost and the bathroom was caving into the basement DT came up with ingenious solutions that saved the bathroom and even made it possible for my invalid mother to bathe. DT’s follow through and tenacity was beyond measure. I have never met a more determined person to see a job through to it’s successful completion with the care, kindness, & honesty he has shown. When he says he will do something, he is a man of his word with no excuses! I feel so blessed we were lucky enough to have him do our job. God knew what he was doing when he sent him to us. This would have been a very difficult job via long distant/absentee instructions & I can’t thank him enough!"
"DML and his crew are amazing! I had a big project for them for my basement . They had to completely replace the subfloor of a large room and reinforce some of the crumbling infrastructure with a new retaining wall. They gutted, expanded, and remodeled the bathroom with new tile, sink, toilet, vent and fan, everything! I've already recommended them to two other people. Also, their prices are very reasonable."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
While tubs are fairly sturdy, you may notice cracks or holes. This kind of damage can happen from someone accidentally dropping something heavy into the tub. You might also see damage if you drop something heavy into the tub over and over again (like your extra large bottle of body wash). While you might only notice a small dent at first, this can later turn into a crack or a hole.
Also, certain cleaners that are harmful to your tub can cause damage. And if you have a fiberglass tub, you might see cracks if it was not installed properly with the right support.
Installing a bathtub can be complex, depending on your prior plumbing experience, the type of bathtub you’re installing, and whether you need to make any changes to your bathroom’s plumbing. It’s advisable to leave this job to the pros, especially if you’re new to the world of plumbing.
A good soaking tub will allow you to completely submerge yourself in the water, so it needs to be at least 20 inches deep. Luxury soaking tubs are 24 inches deep so that you can easily have enough space to be submerged in the water once the tub is full.
The diverter valve in your bathtub is responsible for diverting water between your tub spout and your shower head. If water comes out of both at the same time, you have a faulty diverter valve. You can have a plumber replace this for you, or you can replace it yourself if you have some experience working with plumbing fixtures.
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.
