Bath Tub Replacement

Often homeowners will elect to upgrade or renovate their bathrooms in an effort to improve the functionality or the bathroom, as well as the appearance.  Typically, these upgrades are part of a larger bathroom renovation, which may include other new plumbing items including faucets and toilets.  If you are considering a bathroom renovation project, you should definitely consider replacing the existing bathtub or the soaking tub with a new unit.  While tearing out an existing tub may seem like a massive undertaking, a qualified plumbing contractor can make the replacement quickly and economically.

While it may appear that a bathtub is just a bathtub, this is not the case!  There are many options available, as well as different sizes in length as well as width and height.  The same thing applies to soaking tubs, which are available both with whirlpool jets and without the jets, as well as different shapes.   Standard bathtubs as typically available in cast iron, steel or a high performance plastic, while soaking tubs are typically a high performance plastic, such as acrylic.  The most popular colors are white and almond, but other colors are available as well.  Major manufacturers include Kohler, Sterling and Jacuzzi.

The plumbing contractor that you select will be able to select the tub that meets your needs as well as your budget.  In addition, they will recommend a product that will require the least amount of modification to the existing plumbing system in order to keep the costs down.  There is no need to settle on a partial bathroom renovation, when replacing that old tub is easy!
