"I hired First State Bath for converting a bath tub to a walk-in shower. I feel so thankful to them from introduction through job completing. They listened carfully to my requests and proposed a small suggestion, but it turned out very special to my need. It was choice of 54" long instead of 60". It adds space for easy moving in the bathroom. It might have no impact to most people, but is very helpful and special in my situation. The project is worked out very well with on time, clean and high quality. They did great job at very reasonable cost."

"We recently had our bathtub removed and replaced with a shower from West Shore. From the first visit to installation everything was handled very professionally. They kept us updated on everything that was going on. On the day of installation Jansen B. And Matt O. Arrived on time. They were courteous, clean and very quiet. They completed the job before dinner time and cleaned and left my bathroom cleaner than when they came. We were super pleased with the product and workmanship. We intend to enjoy it for many more years."

"Excellent work for a great price. I hired FSB after consulting two other contractors and an interior designer. FSB had the best ideas for my master bath remodel ( tub replacement, flooring, cabinet and counter install, and toilet replacement. The work was done on time and in a very professional manner."

"This is the third project Don Volkert has done for us. He previously totally remodeled our kitchen and main bath. He is always prompt, professional and neat. Shows great attention to detail. Provided good ideas to make the renovation even better than we imagined. Would highly recommend him. He is a pleasure to work with and worth waiting for his availability."

"We did find other contractors that claimed they could "do it cheaper" but we know where that can lead. Bruce was able to prove the quality of materials and workmanship both on paper and in-person. No subcontractors was a big deal for us and the crew was awesome! The fact that they accommodated our wish to have it installed before Christmas was very generous. The 2 year labor warranty really put us at ease. We have zero regrets and are extremely impressed with the honesty, professionalism and quality of the project and the crew."

FAQs for bathtub installation and replacement projects in Kirkwood, DE

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.
