Replace, don't refinish

Why we replace tubs instead of coating them

Refinishing sprays a coating over the old tub. It can look good for a while, but coatings can peel and chip, especially in a tub that gets daily use. Replacing the tub gives you a new, solid surface and lets us check what's underneath.

When we replace a bathtub, we remove the old tub and walls, inspect the floor and framing for water damage, and install a new tub with a grout-free wall surround. We finish with new Delta fixtures in the finish you choose.

  • New tub in standard and larger sizes
  • Grout-free wall surround in acrylic or stone looks
  • New valve, spout and shower head
  • Optional grab bars, shelves and curved rod

Tub styles

From everyday tubs to freestanding soakers

Tub and shower combos

The most common setup in Peoria homes. A new tub with a full-height wall surround and a curved rod or glass door.

Freestanding soaking tubs

For a primary bath remodel, a freestanding tub with a floor-mount or wall-mount filler makes the room. We handle the plumbing changes it takes.

Bathtub installation in new spaces

Adding a bathroom or finishing a basement? We install tubs in new spaces, too.

Questions

Bathtub Replacement FAQ

Is it better to replace or refinish a bathtub?

If the tub is cracked, chipped, stained or has had water leak around it, replacing is the better long-term choice. Replacement also lets us check the floor and walls for hidden damage.

How long does bathtub replacement take?

Most tub replacements with a new wall surround are done in one to two days.

Can you replace just the tub and keep my tile?

Usually the tile has to come out to remove the tub without damage, and it's the right time to get rid of grout. We'll look at your setup at the estimate and give you options.

Do you install freestanding tubs?

Yes. Freestanding tubs are a popular part of our complete bathroom remodels.

What areas do you serve?

Peoria, East Peoria, Peoria Heights, Pekin, Morton, Washington, Bloomington-Normal, the Quad Cities and the towns around them. See all service areas.
