A standard cast-iron tub weighs 300+ lbs. A whirlpool can be 500+. Getting them in and out of an existing bathroom — without damaging floors, walls, or doorframes — takes real skill.
Drain reconfiguration, supply line work, overflow connection — all done by our licensed plumber, not handymen with wrenches. Code compliant, leak tested before tile.
Removing a cast-iron tub often means breaking it up in place (no doorway in the world fits a whole one out). We bring sledgehammers, drop cloths, and a hauling plan. Cast iron disposed at metal recycling.
Heavy tubs are set on a mortar bed to prevent flex and crack the surround tile later. We mix and level the mortar, then set the tub before it dries. Done right, the tub never moves.
Tub-to-wall and tub-to-floor seams sealed with proper waterproof membrane (not just caulk). This is the #1 cause of bathroom water damage.
After tub install, we coordinate the tub surround (tile, acrylic walls, prefab) so everything fits. Bundle tub + surround for cleanest result.
Walk-in tubs for aging-in-place: door seal pressure-tested, slip-resistant floor, grab bar reinforcement, faster-drain valve. Quoted custom — major bathroom modification.
From standard alcove replacements to luxury freestanding soakers.
3-wall built-in tub — the most common type. Like-for-like replacement keeps existing plumbing locations. $2,400-$3,800 install + tub.
Beautiful standalone tubs (oval, slipper, modern rectangle). Higher install cost due to floor reinforcement and plumbing routing. $3,500-$6,000+.
Side-door tubs for safety + accessibility. Pressure-sealed doors, lower step-in, slip floor. $8,000-$15,000 typical including unit.
Jacuzzi-style with massaging jets. Requires dedicated electrical for motor. Heavier — need floor capacity check. $3,500-$7,000+.
Tub set into a custom deck/surround. Common in master bathroom renos. Quoted as part of larger bathroom project.
Removing the tub entirely to build a walk-in shower. See our shower page. ~$3,500-$7,000 typical.
