"Had a bathtub taken out and converted to walk in shower unit. The quality seems top notch and installer was great. Installation was over 2-3 days but this was due to a bad snow storm in the area with hazardous roads that caused traffic accidents. The installer went out of his way to do everything he could to expedite it while maintaining a quality install, which I feel he accomplished. Only part I did not like was the hard sell approach of the sales person. Be prepared. Fortunately I had done my research on this company and am comfortable in my decision. Time will tell how well it holds up, but the warranty looks like a good lifetime one. Would definitely use them again."

"Redesigning & replacing your shower can certainly be an overwhelming process, Superior Bath Systems eliminates all of that. Their communication from setting up the initial appointment through final install was impressive, kudos to Carrie. During the in-home consultation, all options are brought to you and your design is built while on-site. John, our in-home sales consultant, was thoughtful & thorough in his approach. Come to install, David was professional, timely and immensely skilled. Cannot say enough about this group, outside of thank you."

"A step n'shower was installed in one 12 hour day. Installers were professional, worked to remove tub and then install an excellent step-in shower. Safety features were a special issue for me at age 82. When a question arose then following day, the installers returned that very day and checked on their work. The slight problem was not due to their installment and they advised me as to the next step. I am thoroughly satisfied."

"After having hip surgery a while back, this young man replaced my old shower with a new safety equipped shower. He did a great job in a timely manner. He was very polite, professional, and explained all the new features."

Customers say: Quality work

"Very happy with our renovated bathroom. We had everything replaced: tub/shower, double vanity, toilet, floor, lights, and hardware. They were able to start the work as soon as the materials arrived. Everything went smoothly even with a few changes we requested after the work started. We will use Phelps & Sons Construction again for future projects."

"In 2008 the original siding contractor (Re-side Siding) replaced the whole house siding, with James Hardie Fiber Cement siding. Being a home owner we always trusted the siding contractor and assumed they would do a good job. I paid him $15,000 that included painting. I asked reside what is the warrantee. He explained to me in 2 words “50 year”. Then January 2014 the gutter repair man pointed out to me that there is some issue with our siding. So I contacted David mills owner of Re-side Siding in March 2014. He came over and inspected the siding. He said he would send the form by email to file the warrantee claim. This time I asked him again what’s the warrantee cover. Now In 3 words he said “prorated 50 years”. I asked him to explain to me more clearly. He said he has no clue how the warrantee is going to be resolved “we can both learn from this experience”. How dare he say that to me? I am the one who paid the money and he didn’t have to suffer from this at all. Later I found out that it’s a limit prorated product only warrantee and it doesn’t cover labor to replace or paint and painters. That makes me very angry because being a homeowner we paid $15,000 and after only 5 winters we are having problems. I had no clue how long the problem was going on. Being a homeowner we assumed our siding was intact. The professional saw and fortunately told me or I wouldn’t have known. The gutter guy happened to own a roofing and siding company and he asked me if Re-side siding company was going to come and correct the problem. I said no he said he will file the claim. The gutter guy was so upset. He said “how can he sleep at night and how can he do that it’s unprofessional and dishonest it wasn’t a James Hardie product problem it was because of his bad install”. The nails holding the siding plank in the front of the house weren’t nailed in secure enough and it fell off. He said if I was his customer he would promptly fix the problem. Later I read Re-side Siding (David Mills) had a bad review in December of 2009. The member nailed the character of David Mills right on and also thought he was dishonest and a liar and would not take blame for what he did wrong. I 100% agree with her. That member had the same concern about her new wavy walls about the Re-side Siding installation as I did. David Mills from Re-side Siding responded with a ridiculous excuse blaming the builder of 300+ homes in a whole neighborhood had install issues on framing saying that the builder did a poor framing job on every single home instead of incompetence, bad installation from him. Then, I found out later from siding contractors that if the studs on the walls aren't straight and irregularities in the framing are present, a skilled and good contractor will shim the wall before installing new siding, preventing from the wavy appearance. Even James Hardie claims department mentioned the shimming to me and said that when the siding planks aren't laid flat, there can be a water penetration that can cause issues later. Re-side Siding didn't do the shimming and tried to place blame on only bad framing. Re-side Siding should have shimmed and flattened the regular service before installing the siding to insure proper installation. David Mills finally sent me the claim form and then I was shocked to find out, he left out of the claim form the front of the house and garage gable with bad installation. He was trying to hide it in the claim form and didn’t report it. He said just sign it. How dare he leave out the front of the house and the garage gable?  After that he said he doesn’t want to get involve. He said this is between you and the manufacture and He is not responsible for the repairs that I needed. I was dumb founded how could he say that to me. He should have helped me and guided me through the claim process and make sure it was taken care of because he was the reason I had to do this. I left 2 messages in March 2014 and as of today he’s never called back and never checked on me to see if the problem was resolved. I thought that it was really wrong that he made money from me and my mother’s home and will have nothing to do with me or the house anymore. He goes out and solicits to new home owners for new business. He doesn’t know how important it is to help his existing customers. Since Re-side Siding was not there to guide me or give me any professional help. I contacted Angie’s List and they recommend Centennial Construction.  I talked to the owner Brent Ash. He was totally opposite than David Mills. He was very kind and very knowledgeable. He promptly showed up at my mom’s house and spent over an hour going over the house with me very carefully to point out exactly where the problem is. I really appreciated his kindness, professionalism, and compassion looking after my mom’s interest. David Mills from Re-side Siding should have been the one helping because he made the money. Brent made time for my mother’s home and went the extra mile giving his professional opinion. Throughout the year I called more than a dozen times and he would promptly answer my calls, guide me through, and answer my questions to file my claim dispute. Without him I could not dispute my claim properly, he educated me with every detail about siding and instillation. So I would have the same knowledge they have to file my claim and know what I was talking about. Now if they do a bad job I can point it out right away. With Brent’s help I resolved my siding claim very satisfactory.  Brent told me if I was his customer the homeowner wouldn’t have to do anything. He would contact the James Hardie representative and have him come to the house and go over details. He would file the claim on behalf of the homeowners and we wouldn’t have to go through the trouble. Later I invited other contractors to inspect my mom’s home. They all agree with Brent that Re-side Siding did a poor installation. Such as the James Hardie company doesn’t allow caulking between the seams (butt joints). Behind the butt joint they must put a barrier so water and moisture comes off and drains. Re-side didn’t do that. Re-side Siding used cheap caulking that dried out and cracked it and then water penetrated under the siding and caused the problem. The Re-Side worker must have ran out of delicate siding face nails. In some areas used the rough roofing nails and they caused the siding panels to cracks. It made my blood boil when the James Hardie inspector was here and inspected the house and later the claim department almost didn’t cover my mother’s warrantee because of Re-sides bad installation. The claim department mentioned they used the rough roofing nails and didn't shim the wall too. If Re-Side wants to stay in the business he should learn from Brent how to take care of his customers and install correctly. When I talked to Re-side he said he never heard of James Harie product having issues. When I first hired him he gave me 2 choices- James Hardie or Certainteed Fiber Cement Siding. He talked about Certainteed Fiber Cement Siding having problems and said he does put it on a lot of homes including my neighbors who recommended Mr. Mills. When he said that CertainTeed siding is bad, I didn’t feel like he had any remorse for the poor homeowners that are going to have problems now because he sold them this product. Every single contractor I talked to said they wouldn’t even sell the CertainTeed product anymore. I feel really bad for those homeowners who have it. From the bottom of my heart I appreciate that Brent protected my mom’s interest and guided me through the claim process. He always answered my calls and helped me even though he wasn’t the one who did the bad work and wasn’t the original contractor."

FAQs for bathtub installation and replacement projects in Columbus, IN

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.
