"Our experience with Oasis was excellent. Total bathroom remodel from the removal of bathtub and installing a shower to new floor, vanity, countertop, toilet, lighting fixture, painting to final cleanup they ran a couple of hours over their original estimated completion of the project. We will be calling them when we're ready for the next bathroom."
"Kevin came out quickly to give me a quote to replace my old bathtub and wall panels. He listened to what I was needing and wanting out of the project and he quoted me competitively with the other quotes I had received. I chose his quote because he was personable, flexible and the reviews of his previous jobs were excellent. I could tell he was trustworthy and very professional and he was able to start the project within 2 weeks.
On the day of the project Saul and Luiz came on time and completed the entire remodel in one day. Amazing guys that do top notch, quality work. I am very pleased with how my new tub and shower look and I would definitely recommend them to anyone need a bathroom remodel."
"I wanted to have a conversion to a walk in shower primarily as a safety feature to avoid slips and falls in a bathtub shower environment. The end result is a beautiful, ADA compliant walk in shower that is luxurious and provides the safety measures I needed. Thank you Jacuzzi and my install crew, Randy, Ty and JD, I appreciate you guys and your work ethic. I'm happy with my decision to have this project done by Jacuzzi."
"I?m Dan, and I couldn?t be happier with my new bathroom. Puget Sound B&R delivered excellent craftsmanship and paid attention to every detail. Well done job!"
"I was concerned about cost, but they worked within my budget without sacrificing materials or craftsmanship. My new bathroom looks like something out of a luxury hotel."
"We had a great experience with Gashin Empire. Ilya was recommended to us by friends who had remodeled their bathrooms. We worked with him to develop our scope and to answer all questions before signing the contract. He was very helpful in the planning stage and made suggestions for efficiencies, (such as resurfacing the bathtub instead of replacing it). His team showed up as scheduled and the work was completed in a reasonable amount of time. The pricing was reasonable (not the cheapest but not the most expensive - just realistic and fair), and the quality of the work was excellent. If I have future remodeling needs I would not hesitate to use Gashin Empire again."
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. Walk-in showers cost between $1,150 and $8,000, making them far more budget-friendly in comparison.
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.
Yes, $5,000 is a healthy budget for a DIY bathroom renovation. It can go a long way in making the space more accessible and stylishly spa-like. Providing you stick to modest materials and don’t make any major plumbing or structural changes, you can upgrade fixtures, retile, and add some stylish bathroom accessories and savvy storage solutions to maximize the space.
The reasons not to install flooring underneath a bathtub outweigh the benefits. A properly installed bathtub will keep water from reaching the unprotected subfloor underneath. Installing a tub on top of finished flooring can lead to damage and scratches to the new floor. Also, a small leak from a tub drain may be more difficult to notice if finished flooring impedes water drips.
If your bathtub is in overall good shape with minor scratches, discoloration, or just general wear and tear, it's best (and less expensive) to refinish it.
If your tub has large cracks, is leaking, or is otherwise severely damaged, we recommend replacing it with a new bathtub. Refinishing a bathtub can only fix superficial problems, so these issues will still be present or reappear after a refinishing.
