Complete bathtub removal and installation including plumbing updates with transparent fixed pricing
Bathtub replacement involves removing old tubs and installing new fixtures. The process addresses structural support, plumbing connections, and surrounding finishes. Original cast iron tubs from the 1950s often weigh 300-500 pounds and require careful extraction through doorways and stairwells.
Modern options include alcove tubs for standard three-wall enclosures, freestanding soaking tubs for larger bathrooms, and drop-in models for custom surrounds. Material selection affects durability and maintenance. Acrylic offers lightweight installation with good heat retention. Cast iron provides exceptional durability but needs reinforced floor support. Composite materials balance both benefits while reducing weight.
Plumbing updates accompany most replacements. Drain assemblies must match new configurations. Supply lines may need repositioning for different faucet placements. Older homes sometimes require waste and overflow upgrades to meet current codes.
