Discover Your Perfect Bathtub: Types We Install

The market offers a diverse range of bathtubs, each designed to meet different aesthetic preferences, functional needs, and space requirements. Our comprehensive bathtub installation service covers various types, allowing you to choose the perfect fit for your home:

1. Alcove Tubs: These are the most common type, designed to fit into a three-wall recess. They are space-efficient and often come with a shower combination option, making them a practical choice for most bathrooms. Alcove tubs are ideal for maximizing space in smaller or standard-sized bathrooms.
2. Freestanding Tubs: Offering a touch of luxury and elegance, freestanding tubs stand alone, not attached to any walls. They become a focal point in larger bathrooms, providing a spa-like feel. Their installation requires careful planning for plumbing connections and sufficient floor space.
3. Drop-in Tubs: Designed to be dropped into a framed enclosure or deck, these tubs allow for extensive design flexibility with custom surrounds made from various materials like tile, stone, or wood. Drop-in tubs offer a customized, built-in appearance that can be tailored to match your bathroom's decor.
4. Shower/Tub Combinations: This versatile option combines a bathtub with an overhead shower, making it a highly functional choice for families and bathrooms where space is a consideration. They provide the convenience of both bathing and showering in one unit.
5. Walk-in Tubs: Engineered with accessibility and safety in mind, walk-in tubs feature a watertight door that allows users to step directly into the tub without needing to lift their legs over a high wall. These tubs are particularly beneficial for seniors or individuals with mobility challenges, often including hydrotherapy jets and built-in seating for comfort and safety.
6. Other Specialized Tubs: Depending on your preferences, we can also accommodate the installation of corner tubs, designed to fit into a corner of a bathroom; soaking tubs, which are deeper than standard tubs for full immersion; or whirlpool/jetted tubs, offering therapeutic massage features.

Material Considerations: The material of your new bathtub plays a significant role in its durability, maintenance, weight, and cost. We work with various materials, including:

1. Acrylic: Lightweight, warm to the touch, and available in many shapes and colors, acrylic tubs are popular for their versatility and affordability. They are easy to clean and relatively durable.
2. Fiberglass: Similar to acrylic in weight and cost, fiberglass tubs are coated with gelcoat. They are lightweight but generally less durable than acrylic over the long term.
3. Cast Iron: Known for its exceptional durability and heat retention, cast iron tubs are heavy but offer a luxurious feel and can last for decades. They require substantial floor support during installation.

Our Bathtub Installation Process – From Start to Finish

A professional bathtub installation involves several critical steps to ensure longevity, proper function, and aesthetic integration. Our systematic approach ensures a smooth and efficient project for your Goose Creek home:

• Initial Consultation & Assessment: The process begins with a detailed discussion of your needs, preferences, and budget. Our technicians conduct a thorough assessment of your existing bathroom space, including measurements, plumbing lines, and structural elements, to determine the most suitable tub type and identify any necessary preparations.
• Preparation and Old Tub Removal: We meticulously prepare the work area, protecting your floors and fixtures. If an old tub is present, it is carefully disconnected, removed, and responsibly disposed of. This step ensures a clean slate for your new installation.
• Plumbing & Structural Work: Our licensed plumbers then make any necessary modifications to your existing plumbing system, ensuring proper water supply, drainage, and overflow connections for the new tub. If the chosen tub is significantly heavier or requires specific support, we ensure the subfloor and framing are adequately reinforced.
• New Tub Placement & Leveling: The new bathtub is precisely positioned and carefully leveled to ensure optimal drainage and stability. Proper leveling prevents future issues like pooling water or uneven settling.
• Surround & Finishing: Depending on the tub type, this step involves installing wall surrounds, tiling, or custom enclosures. Our team ensures all seams are properly sealed with waterproof caulk, preventing leaks and protecting your bathroom from moisture damage.
• Fixture Installation: Faucets, showerheads, drain assemblies, and overflow covers are securely installed and connected to the plumbing system.
• Testing & Cleanup: Before concluding the project, we thoroughly test all plumbing connections for leaks and ensure the tub drains correctly. The work area is then meticulously cleaned, leaving your new bathroom ready for immediate use.

Understanding the Cost of Bathtub Installation

The total cost of bathtub installation can vary based on several factors, reflecting the scope and complexity of the project. Key elements influencing the investment include the type of bathtub you select, the materials it’s made from, and the labor involved. More specialized tubs, such as walk-in or jetted models, often have higher material costs and may require more intricate plumbing or structural modifications, impacting labor. The removal and disposal of an old tub also contribute to the overall project scope. We provide detailed, no-obligation estimates that outline all anticipated costs upfront, ensuring transparency and clarity.
