"We love our new bathtub, surround and shower doors! Don and Carol came out to give us a price and two weeks later we had a beautiful bathroom. Ken the installer was very professional and very meticulous in his work. He was awesome and did a fantastic job. He always arrived on time and cleaned up very well. We are very happy with Bathcrest of Chicago!"

"Removal of existing tile in our laundry room and replaced with new tile. They were a joy to work with. Came in and unhooked and moved washer and dryer to garage, removed very heavy 8ft door and removed old tile all in about 90 minutes. Next day installed new tile and grouted Did an excellent job with no mess and cleaned up everything. New tile looks great! Fast, friendly, reasonable and quality work Would recommend to anyone!"

"We selected G and G after reviewing bids from other contractors and checking references. In both projects, kitchen and bathroom, G and G was very flexible with our meeting times and dates, timely with the layout revisions and adjustments, and responsive to questions. G and G’s recommended vendors for materials such as flooring, cabinets and granite were top notch but not overly costly. It is always hard to live without a kitchen or bathroom and Frank and the crew were focused on getting it done but getting it done RIGHT. Our Kitchen project – 2007 – took approximately 4 months, required the removal of a wall, moving the placement of the refrigerator, stove and dishwasher, and redoing all of the lighting to consist of recessed cans and pendants. We selected cherry cabinets, black granite, glass backsplash, and installed a VERY large island that seats 3 to 6 with a large workspace. The granite seating area needed reinforcing underneath and Frank worked with us to ensure it looked inconspicuous. Frank even designed ‘cubbies’ with electrical access for phone and tablet charging and storage. When you look at the cubbies you cannot see the charging cords or the devices! Finally, Frank designed a special storage location in the island for a wooden stool. I’m sure G and G would tell you we were ‘particular’ clients but the team accommodated all of our unique choices and needs. Our bathroom project – 2012 – took approximately 3 months and required removal of a jet tub, installation of a heated tile floor, installation of a VERY large shower with dual shower heads, floor to ceiling glass tile pillars and glass enclosure, and a free standing elliptical shaped tub with a tub filler. G and G was adaptable and flexible to all of our changes and unique requests such as electrical outlets under the sink to hide the electric toothbrushes. G and G also updated a second bathroom with new cabinets and counter top. We are very happy with G and G's craftsmanship and service . The crew was timely, polite and clean. We knew where they were in each stage of the projects and if there were delays, we were aware of the issue immediately (i.e. back order of tub filler, special design needs due the granite configuration). Frank is in constant communication with the crew and you, visits the site and follows up on the final ‘punch list’. Great contractor!"

"The Installers Daniel and Fabian did a Fantastic Job with Installing a Walk in shower and also our half Bath. We were very pleased with their work, they cleaned up Immaculately after themselves. We could not be happier with our Bathrooms. So glad we went with Premier Pro for the work, would recommend them."

"Was a very smooth experience from start to finish. From the initial contact person, to the person that came to my home to scope out the work, to the supervisor for the job to the two guys doing the work. All were very good at their jobs. I just needed to have the cracked tub surround replaced in a small bathroom and wasn't sure that anyone would want to do that small of a job. They were up front from the start that if they were going to do the work that they would also need to replace the plumbing as they would not take the chance of doing work with leaking plumbing behind it. I then also decided to have a the soffit above the shower (from a previous owner's remodel job) removed which added a lot of work to remove the framing and install ceiling dry wall, making the job much more complicated. I told them that my biggest requirement was going to be that if I was going to pay for someone to do something that I could do myself that when it was finished I expected it to look much better than what I could have done. When it was done they exceeded that goal greatly and every day now I notice some other small detail that the nailed perfect."

"My husband and I just completed adding a new bathroom in our basement we have wanted for years and two weeks in, couldn’t be happier with the results! We used Bathroom Boys which we found off Angie’s list and they did an exceptional job from start to finish (about six total). Easy to schedule off email, they were professional, on time, made things easier than I expected. We wanted a sleek design and with high-quality fixtures and picked out everything using our designer which they worked with. We worked with Sam and they completed on schedule and hassle-free. Highly recommend Bathroom Boys if you want to add a bathroom."

"From the first interview our sales consultant through the post installation follow-up, we were very happy with the service and work that Excel Windows provided. Sales: We found Matt, our sales rep for Excel, to be friendly, knowledgeable and very responsive to the many questions we had for our large project. Matt walked us through the process of selecting an experienced window installer and quality window, communicating through email, phone and multiple in-person visits, and made sure we were comfortable with Excel’s products and assuring us that we would be receiving the level of service and product quality we desired. Matt always made himself available to answer questions, even after the project moved out of the sales phase and into the installation phase. Installation: During construction, Egor and his partner were very professional and completed the work as cleanly as possible. Of the ~28 windows we had replaced, only a couple required minor paint touchups to the trim and no window trim needed to be replaced. The trim around the sliding doors had to be replaced to allow for door installation, which we were informed about during the sales process. Excel had to be called back out once to fix a piece of warped trim work, but not a major issue. The one thing I wished I had done was ask whether I could buy pre-primed white trim and paint it in advance of Excel replacing the trim around the doors. It would have saved a lot of time in taping and painting the new trim after Excel was done, since they only install unprimed trim. Schedule: The work was completed in about 3.5 days. While this was about a day longer than originally quoted, Excel kept us informed of issues encountered during installation and their impact on the schedule. Leo, the person who scheduled the install crews, was very responsive and accommodating in finding days that worked with our schedule so someone could be home while the work was going on. Product: The Thermal windows we purchased (mostly double hung) are working great and we immediately saw an impact on our electricity bill since we no longer have the 20+ year-old drafty windows that were original to the house. The new windows are easy to move up and down and we like the additional features such as the night locks, screen locks and InvisiScreen. We went with a more contemporary window grid instead of the traditional colonial grid on the windows we replaced, and Excel helped us visualize the windows before ordering them by preparing a mock up of a couple of the windows to make sure we were comfortable with how they looked. We really like how they turned out. We had some issues with the sliding glass doors we purchased in that one of the doors was found to be bowed after installation (factory defect) and had to be replaced. The screen doors had to be adjusted a couple of times so they locked properly. More of a nuisance than anything, and Excel quickly acknowledged there was an issue and did what they could to resolve it as soon as possible. Customer Service: Throughout the process with Excel Windows, we found them to be very professional and responsive to requests and communications from us. Even after the windows and doors were installed and the check was cashed, they called to check up on things and quickly sent someone out if tweaks to anything were needed. As we entered into our first window replacement adventure, customer service and communication was the most important aspect of the project to us, outside of installing quality windows that would last for many years with minimal damage to the surrounding trim. Excel Windows met our lofty expectations in this area, and we would definitely call on them in the future for any window/door needs. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to take on a window and door replacement project, whether big or small, as they did a great job with our fairly large project."

"The entire crew was extremely professional. They are prompt and efficient with their time. They have always been punctual. They recommended a certain amount of recessed lighting in each of my rooms and now that the project is finished they were right in their estimate. The job is perfect. The paint job was also done perfectly. Both of our rooms were left spotless. They take care of all of the guesswork. In addition, they replaced all of my outlets. They used to be black and now they’ve been switched out to white. This crew, earlier in the year, also remodeled my bathroom. My bathroom now looks like it belongs in a high-end hotel. Next year they will come back to install hardwood flooring throughout my entire home. They are trustworthy and honest. I wouldn’t do work with anyone else."

"We hired NorPro to remodel our basement. This entailed putting up drywall on the ceiling with can lights, adding a new wall to create a separate laundry area, and installing new closet doors. Throughout the entire project, from initial quote to completion, the project manager Norm was very responsive, professional, and always kept track of the details. The workmen that actually did job were also very professional and we are very happy with the results. We will definitely use NorPro again."

FAQs for bathtub installation and replacement projects in Chicago, IL

Most tubs last an average of 20 years, or closer to 10 to 15 if they’re acrylic or fiberglass. If you’re seeing persistent leaks, cracks, stubborn stains, or mold that won’t scrub away, it’s time to start shopping for a replacement. Out-of-date features and visible water damage are other red flags. Swapping the tub now protects your bathroom from bigger (and pricier) repairs down the road.

You should install your tub in a location that complements your bathroom's layout, plumbing connections, and personal preferences. Consider placing it near existing plumbing to minimize installation costs. Many homeowners position their tubs to take advantage of natural light or scenic outdoor views, enhancing relaxation. 

Ensure there's sufficient space around the tub for easy access and safety, especially if accessibility is a concern. Ultimately, the ideal spot is where the tub fits seamlessly with your bathroom design and provides the most comfort and convenience for your needs.

Replacing a bathtub takes just one or two days if you hire a pro to handle the job. They'll remove the old tub and install the new one efficiently. If you're considering doing it yourself, be prepared for it to take much longer, possibly up to a month. That's because you'll need to remove the old tub and drywall, install the new tub, repair the walls, and maybe tackle new tiling. Weigh the time commitment against potential cost savings to decide what's best for you.

Converting your tub to a shower transforms your bathroom with a modern and accessible design. The average cost to convert a tub to a shower ranges from $2,000 to $10,500, based on the required plumbing, tiling, and structural modifications. This upgrade maximizes space while boosting functionality and aesthetics in your bathroom.
