Have you ever signed a contract with someone, only to find out that the job wasn't done to your satisfaction: shoddy workmanship, unfinished job, couldn't contact them, cost you more than expected, etc.? At Five Star Bath Solutions, we've made it our mission to make sure this doesn't happen to you. Our number one priority is customer service and satisfaction: We use only the highest quality products We train and certify all of our technicians We work exclusively on bathroom remodels All of this is done to make sure you are happy with the end results.

"Due to a leak, there was a lot more to the demo and prep work for our new shower installation. 5 Star pulled it off with no additional out of scope costs or change orders for the new specs after demo and rebuild."

As a Top 500 Remodeling Company, our commitment to excellence ensures every project is completed with care, integrity, and reliability. Based in Riverside County, we treat every remodel as if it were our own—because your home deserves the best.

"It has been my great good fortune to have hired American Home Remodeling to renovate our bathroom. They removed the old tub and tile from the existing bathroom and installed a beautiful shower in its place, and it’s fantastic! The crews... Paul and Franciso, and Fernando and Maurico, were professional, friendly and could not have worked harder. They arrived at the specified times, and did not leave until the project was completed and cleaned up. Our project coordinator, Marissa Cortez, was outstanding. She kept us up to date and responded to my questions super-fast, with knowledge and great kindness. There is little more stressful than doing renovations, but this company could not have been more wonderful. If you are looking for a quality company to improve your home, I cannot recommend this company more highly. "

"I hired Better Together Builders for a major home renovation and have paid over $130K toward the project. While some work was completed, my overall experience has been disappointing due to delays, unfinished tasks, and a lack of attention to detail. I am currently pursuing legal action against this company for their failure to fulfill contractual obligations and for the damages caused. Specific examples from my project: • Electrical work was left incomplete, requiring me to hire a licensed electrician at my own expense to finish it. • Several areas were installed without proper preparation, resulting in chipped slabs, misaligned cuts, unpatched drywall holes, and exposed wiring. • Communication and follow-up became inconsistent, and I often had to chase updates to keep the project moving. • Extended delays caused me to lose months of potential rental income, while I also had to pay for temporary housing. This review reflects my personal experience and is not intended to cause harm, but to inform others. If you decide to work with BTB, I strongly recommend documenting every stage of the project, inspecting work before releasing payments, and ensuring all contracted items are fully completed before signing off."

"Technician came ($100 service charge) and said condenser needed to be replaced and quoted $1,200 to do the job. Price seemed high so I told him I'd be contacting another company. I found another company CR Appliances that was willing to do the work for half that price. When CR tech came he diagnosed that the condenser was fine. He said that some circuit board that controls the condenser was broken. He said that my condenser was so high quality that it should last 30 years and if it had been changed I probably would've gotten a worse one. In summary the Lenmore tech charged me $100 to mis-diagnose my problem and tried to charge me double the price to do a repair that wouldn't have fixed the problem. Based on that experience I wouldn't hire Lenmore again."

FAQs for shower installation and replacement projects in Pasadena, CA

Replacing your tub with a shower can modernize your bathroom and improve accessibility, often providing a high return on investment. However, if it's the only bathtub in your home, removing it may decrease resale value, as many buyers look for at least one bathtub. Consider your long-term plans and consult a real estate professional if resale value is a concern.

While showers cost slightly more to install than tubs, the overall expense depends on various factors such as materials, size, and features. A tub installation costs $2,400 to $8,800 on average, whereas showers average $2,000 to $9,400. Custom designs, luxury fixtures, or extensive plumbing work can increase costs for both options. It's important to assess your specific needs and budget when deciding between installing a shower or a tub.

Converting a tub to a shower generally takes between one and three days. The timeline depends on the complexity of the project, materials chosen, and whether plumbing modifications are necessary. Installing a standard prefabricated shower can be completed quickly, while custom tile work or extensive plumbing changes may extend the project's duration. Planning accordingly can help minimize disruptions during the conversion.

Converting a tub to a shower offers several benefits, including saving space and making your bathroom feel more open and modern. Showers improve accessibility, especially for those with mobility challenges, by eliminating the need to step over a high tub wall. Additionally, updating to a stylish shower can enhance your bathroom's aesthetic appeal and may increase your home's resale value if another tub is available elsewhere in the house.

Choosing between a shower stall and a custom shower depends on your budget and preferences. Prefabricated stalls are less expensive and faster to install but offer limited styles. Custom showers allow personalization of size, materials, and features but cost more and require professional installation. Evaluate your needs and budget to select the best option for your space.

If you’re converting a tub to a shower, you may want to consider remodeling your whole bathroom. The ROI on bathroom remodels is high (over 70%), so you can enjoy an upgraded bathroom while you live in your home and get your money back if you decide to sell later. The average cost to remodel a bathroom is around $6,600 to $16,600, so factor in this price range when you’re budgeting for your project.

Converting a tub to a shower alone isn't easy to DIY, so look for a bathroom remodeler near you if you decide to take on a larger bathroom remodel to ensure it's done correctly.
