Bathtub Options We Install
Not sure what tub fits your space? We’ll help you choose the right style based on layout, budget, and how you actually use the bathroom.
Alcove Tubs (Most Common)
Great for standard bathrooms and shower/tub combos.
Drop-In Tubs
Clean look with a deck surround—popular for larger bathrooms.
Freestanding Tubs
Modern statement piece. Great if you want that “high-end” look.
Soaking Tubs
Deeper comfort for relaxing baths.
Walk-In Tubs (On Request)
Safer access for aging-in-place or mobility needs.
Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Tub
If you’re dealing with any of these, replacement is usually the smarter long-term move:
- Cracks, chips, or soft spots
- Stains that won’t come out
- Loose or failing tile surround
- Mold/mildew returning constantly
- Spongy walls or water damage
- Outdated style dragging down the whole bathroom
- You want a deeper tub or different layout
Our Process
1) Free Consult & Measurement
We review your tub area, layout, and goals—then measure everything accurately.
2) Design + Material Planning
We help you select the tub, surround material, fixtures, and layout details.
3) Demo + Prep
We remove the old tub/surround, inspect framing/subfloor, and correct issues before rebuilding.
4) Waterproofing + Install
Proper board, waterproofing, tub set, plumbing connections, and surround installation.
5) Finish Work + Clean Up
Caulk lines, trim details, final checks, and a clean jobsite.
Waterproofing Matters
Most bathtub failures aren’t the tub—they’re the walls behind it. We build bathtub surrounds the right way using proper backer systems and waterproofing methods so moisture stays out of your framing and subfloor.
Result: fewer leaks, less mold risk, and a bathroom that holds up.

FAQs
How long does a bathtub replacement take?
Most projects take a few days depending on demo, waterproofing, tile, and drying/curing time.
Can you replace just the tub and keep the existing tile?
Sometimes, but usually the surround must be removed to properly set and seal the new tub. We’ll tell you what’s possible after seeing the setup.
Do you handle plumbing too?
Yes for typical tub plumbing swaps (fixtures/valves/drains). If we uncover bigger plumbing issues, we’ll coordinate the right fix.
Will you fix water damage if you find it?
Yes. If we find rot or moisture damage, we’ll document it and repair it the right way before installing anything new.
