"So, as mentioned before, I did end up sourcing my vanity top and vanity elsewhere. I ended up getting Home Depot to do both. (Hope Depot outsourced to other contractors of course.) The price and quality from Home Depot was better than my other choices. But this review is about First State, so let me return to talking about them. First State was perfect in everything they did. * The sales process was very smooth and responsive. * They had a bit of backlog, so I had to wait a bit, but they were very communicative throughout the process and scheduling was more than satisfactory. * They were extremely flexible with dealing with my external vendor (for the vanity top installation). They were VERY accommodating and appreciated it. * They did high quality work. On all parts: tub work, tile work, plumbing work, vanity work. As well as in keeping disruption to a minimum and professionalism. * They were very communicative and responsive about when they would show up, what work would happen when, and dealing with the whole process. * They went above and beyond on several minor things that were not in the contract."

"Randy F. and Hung L. did a superb job replacing my old original bathtub with a new modern walk in shower. The quality of the materials, fixtures, and the professional craftsmanship in installing them, exceeded my expectations. I will certainly recommend West Shore Home to family and friends."

"The Best is Close to Home We can’t say enough good things about First State Bath. Supporting a local company mattered to us. They are part of our community and it truly showed in the pride, care, and accountability they brought to the project. It’s not the same with a big chain company. From the start, everything felt easy and professional. We received a prompt, detailed bid—even during a holiday—and were impressed by the wide selection of beautiful, high-quality products and colors. Nothing felt low-end, and the pricing offered outstanding value for the level of craftsmanship we received. The installation team arrived on time, were friendly and respectful, and consistently went above and beyond. When they discovered the subfloor beneath our old bathtub was uneven, they replaced it at no additional cost—simply because they wanted the job done right. Their attention to detail was matched by how clean and organized they were, leaving the work area spotless each day. They promised a two"

"Martin quickly responded to phone calls. His employee was very prompt, pleasant, and a hard worker. The floor looks wonderful! I would highly recommend them. This is the second time we have used them. 7 years ago we used them for a total basement renovation including bathroom installation. We were very pleased with the quality of that work as well."

FAQs for bathtub installation and replacement projects in Newark, 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.
