Bathtub and Sink Installs

Upgrading a piece that can transform a space.

A new bathtub or sink can improve your life and increase your home's value and appeal. Updating kitchens and bathrooms is a smart idea, and a new sink or tub is a great place to start. In your kitchen, a new stainless steel double basin sink can make chores easier and more enjoyable. A new pull-down faucet with sprayer can make clean up easier.

Things to consider when replacing a bathtub

The size of your space

Obviously, you want to fit the existing space. Don’t buy a six-foot-long tub and find you have nowhere to put it. If you have smaller bathroom, you may consider downsizing or even replacing your tub with a shower to open things up.

Your budget

You can get a good tub on any budget. We can help you choose a new bathtub that meets your needs. Don’t forget to factor in the installation costs.

Type of Tub

These days there are a wide variety of tubs to fit every need and aesthetic. There are whirlpool tubs, freestanding tubs, corner tubs, walk in tubs and drop-in tubs to name a few. Make sure you get one that fits the shape and style of your bathroom.

Type of Material

Bathtubs are made from many different materials. From affordable fiberglass and acrylic to steel, marble or cast iron, one of our professional installers can help you make an informed decision on which material best suits your home.

Make sure you research your options before replacing your bathtub and have a plan in place for installing it. If you’re remodeling your bathroom, now is a great time to upgrade that old tub.

Things to consider when replacing a sink

Location

Sinks come in all shapes and sizes. If you are fitting a preexisting counter or vanity, be sure that you properly match the size and shape.

Faucet type

Sinks are purposed for all different sizes and types of faucets. Some of them require three holes, some of them only one. Bathroom faucets come in different widths. Make sure that your sink is compatible with the faucet you want.

Type of Material

Like tubs, sinks come in a variety of materials to meet different needs and aesthetics. Stainless steel sinks can take a beating and are great for kitchens. Enamel sinks add elegance to bathrooms but risk cracking.

Style

Beyond traditional designs, there are a variety of sink styles available. Vessel sinks have become more popular. Do you want one basin or two? Do you need a top mount sink or an undermount?

Sink/Bathtub FAQs

When is it time to replace?

Knowing when to replace a sink will come down to a few key indicators. First, if a sink is leaking or showing any other sign of major disrepair, it might be time to invest in a replacement. A good rule of thumb is to upgrade if the cost of repairs is approximately half the price of a new sink.

Additionally, if a sink is outdated in style and its space is being renovated, it’s generally the right time to look into a replacement. Swapping out one outdated sink for a brand new fixture can provide a much needed face lift for any kitchen or bathroom.
How long does it take to install a new tub or shower?

While the consultation process may take several days of planning, the actual replacement of your home shower or tub will likely be completed in 4 to 5 days, but the time it takes to replace your tub or shower depends on materials and design. However, delays are possible depending on the complexity of the project and if our workers run into problems with existing architecture or need to do more work on the pipes behind your unit after pulling out the tub or shower. We are careful stewards of your time and home and will take care to move the process forward as quickly as possible.
Should I get a tub or a shower?

Deciding whether to go with a tub or a shower is a personal choice. You will need to consider your mobility and the amount of effort you are willing to spend on maintaining the unit. Tubs require a little more care than showers, but they can be worth the added attention. Keep in mind that tubs also require more space than a shower. If you cannot decide between one or the other, consider a bathtub/shower combination unit.
