"I absolutely recommend Bath Planet. We had 6 estimates. Bath Planet by far gave us the most for the price. Our sales person, Julie, was the main reason we went with Bath Planet. Our meeting with her was extremely informative and we felt her no pressure approach a refreshing change from the other salesman who gave us quotes.She gave us great insight as to what would look best in our remodel. The install was also a great experience, Chip and Jared did a tub to shower conversion, replacement of floor, vanity, toilet, and medicine chest in only a day and a half. They were helpful, friendly and did a very good job. On top of it, the install occurred one month earlier than we were expecting."

"We replaced our bathtub with a walk in shower, and are extremely happy with the work that was provided. In only took one person 6 hours to complete the job, and he was very professional and the quality of work was great. Would hire them again."
"Jake is easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable about his products. I learned more about windows than I knew was out there. River Valley Remodelers is a company I am recommending to everyone I know."
"Craig and his team were amazing! My house received hail damage in the summer of 2022 which broke the skylight into my bathroom. Craig met with my adjuster to review the damage and talked me through my insurance papers to explain how the repair would go. His team replaced my roof in one day! I did not want the old skylights so they close them off and installed new drywall in my bathroom ceilings. Craig replaced my bath fans in both bathrooms that no longer worked so now I have working fans. Then his team plastered the ceilings to hide where the drywall was patched, it looks better than new. Craig also changed out my rear screen door. He went above and beyond in so many ways. I’d highly recommend him."

"Great customer service, prompt, professional and knowledgeable. I contracted for a tub/shower replacement and a second stand alone shower replacement.There are some dings in my tub, and my flooring and baseboard has damage on my stand alone. I was told that someone will be in contact to address these things. The install was yesterday so I m going to give them time to correct, last the product (not the labor) looks on the inexpensive end for the price. There is a lifetime warranty which is great. Most of all I LOVE LOVE their customer service."

"I had MAJOR water damage in my family room on my outside wall ( half brick- huge window) and a bit on the adjoining walls as well. Dante Wilmet was a miracle worker on this project. He had to remove the outside wall completely and rebuild ( including the brick). He did an amazing job… stuck to his quote. If there was anything that came along that would cost extra- he would call to make sure it was ok with me to proceed. He was always on time and extremely reliable. If I could afford to gut my whole house- I would gave Wilmet Construction do the job!"
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
The plumbing industry has standardized the sizes for bathtub drains. They are 1 1/2 inches wide to fit all standard bathtubs from 14 to 26 inches deep. The standard sizing is to ensure that the drain fits into the P trap, a special part of your piping that prevents sewer water from bubbling up into your home (yuck).
Start by gutting the old fixtures and features that need to be removed, such as the tile, vanity, and flooring. You may benefit by removing the toilet, even if you intend to use the same one. Next, install the new shower or tub, followed by the flooring, and then the drywall, which you should then paint. After that, install your new cabinets, vanity, countertop, sink, and faucet, in that order. Replace your light fixture next. Lastly, reconnect the toilet.
Installing a drop-in tub yourself is possible, especially if you’re replacing your existing tub with a new one of the same size. If you’re replacing a different type of tub, you’ll need to build the structure to hold the new drop-in tub and finish the exposed sides. The structure must be sturdy enough to hold the tub when it’s filled with water, and you’ll need to seal it. If any plumbing work is required, it’s best to call a licensed plumber who installs bathtubs.
To keep a walk-in tub in good condition, clean it regularly with non-abrasive cleaners. It is also important to periodically inspect the seals, jets, and faucets to ensure they are functioning correctly.
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.
