Your bathtub installation questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much does it cost to replace a bathtub?

The price range for a standard bathtub, including installation, typically falls between $800 and $4,600. If you decide to add a tiled tub surround, you can expect to spend $1,000 to $3,500 in construction costs. When it comes to more vintage choices like clawfoot tubs, the cost for the bathtub alone can vary from $600 to $7,200, and for contemporary freestanding bathtubs, the expenses can go even higher.

For those seeking a more specialized option, there's the walk-in tub, which costs between $2,000 and $12,000, depending on factors like size, brand, and features. These tubs are particularly beneficial for seniors or individuals with disabilities or limited mobility, offering advantages such as a leak-proof door, enhanced safety, and improved accessibility.

Do plumbers install bathtubs?

Yes, plumbers often install bathtubs as part of their services. A bathtub installation involves connecting the plumbing fixtures, such as the faucets and drains, to ensure they function correctly. The installation of the physical bathtub, including positioning and securing it in place may also require the assistance of a contractor or handyperson.

Do Home Depot and Lowes install bathtubs?

Home Depot and Lowe's offer installation services for various home improvement products, including bathtubs. They typically have partnerships with local contractors or subcontractors who can install products purchased from their stores, including bathtubs.

Keep in mind that they often contract with the lowest bidders, so the quality of the installation may not be the best available in your area.

How do you measure a bathtub?

If you are considering replacing a bathtub, it is important to take accurate measurements to avoid an installation disaster when the new tub doesn’t fit into the space. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth process:

  • Measure the length of the tub from the outside edge to the outside edge.
  • Measure the width of the tub the same way.
  • Measure the height of the tub from the bottom of the tub to the top rim.
  • Check that there are no irregular shapes or contours, like armrests or contoured backs that can impact the installation.
  • Measure the space in your bathroom where you plan to install the tub. Consider factors like wall-to-wall dimensions, alcove spaces, or freestanding areas.
  • Double-check your measurements for accuracy.

What questions should I ask a bathtub installer?

Here are some important questions to ask your contractor for your bathtub installation project:

  • How long have you been installing bathtubs?
  • How many bathtubs have you installed in the last year?
  • Do you carry insurance, licenses, and surety bonds?
  • Will you provide a detailed quote that includes all material and labor costs?
  • How long will the tub installation take?
  • When can you start?
  • Do you need a permit? If so, do you handle the permitting process?
  • What warranty do you include on your workmanship?

How do I choose a bathtub installer?

When getting estimates from bathroom installation contractors, be sure to consider these recommendations:

  • Consider only licensed, bonded, and insured bathroom contractors with years of bathtub installation experience.
  • Look for bathroom contractors with positive reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Confirm their membership in professional organizations which shows commitment to their trade.
  • Find contractors that fit your tub installation schedule and budget.

Alberto was the 3rd plumber I had come and look at my problem. He was the only one that discovered I had not one but two lenghts of sewer pipe that was broken and needed to be replaced. He came back early the next day with his team, dug an 8ft trench, replaced the pipe, rodded everything and refilled the whole in less than half a day. I was extremely impressed with his knowledge, expertise and speed with which he solved my problem. I was desperate and he swooped in and saved the day! 10/10 would definitely use again and recommend in a heartbeat!
