"Dave was great! The best communication and transparency I've seen in a long time. Dave explained what he needed to do to install the dryer vent and got right to work...NO wasted time. He installed the vent and made sure it was working properly. The vent looks great! Dave is knowledgable, professional, and a nice person. He also stayed in touch, letting me know how soon he would arrive and when he was on his way. I really appreciated that. We will definitely call him the next time we need a handyman."

"Mark and his crew did an excellent job remodeling my bathroom. It looks absolutely beautiful. His crew also put in lighting in my kitchen and removed some cabinetry. The kitchen now looks more spacious. They also replaced the flooring in one of my bathroom downstairs. I was so pleased with the upstairs bathroom, I had Mark and his crew remodel my downstairs bathroom. My son and daughter-in-law were so impressed with the results, they wanted Mark to work on their home but they live outside his service area."

"Adrian did a fantastic job installing our shower. He was on time, professional, and delivered outstanding workmanship. We’re extremely happy with the final result and would highly recommend both Adrian and Shugarman’s Bath to anyone considering a similar home project."

"Absolutely the worst experience with a contractor! Ilan will bring you into his beautiful showroom and make promises that he doesn't deliver. Our bathroom shower had to be redone 3 times and we never got the shower design that was in the plans. The crew was fired and we didn't have anyone show up for over a week. Ilan would not return calls and all calls had to be directed to his assistant that lived in another state! Chipped kitchen cabinets they tried to cover up. No attention to detail whatsoever. Constantly had different workers and one showed up with his minor son. He came without any tools and had to buy some at Home Depot. One of the workers admitted that friends were being brought in because Ilan had started a big job and there wasn't enough guys to work at our house. Ilan said that the reason our 3 month job turned into 6 was because we were adding things. Wrong... it was all the mistakes they made and defects in products along with guys not showing up! Bad, bad, bad!"

"Gus, Victor and the crew were professional, on time, and easy to work with. They explained everything clearly, did solid work, and cleaned up well when they were done. The job was completed as promised, and the roof looks great. I’d recommend them to anyone needing roofing work."

"I couldn’t be happier with TLC Plumbing. Todd reached out to me shortly after I posted the request and he was at my house within the hour, offering advice and an estimate. David installed a new water heater, a “bear” of a project, with professionalism and respect. And he did it cheerfully. By the time he left, the system had been meticulously installed and tested, and the work area was clean! Thank you, David, for your diligence and care. TLC Plumbing gets my recommendation!"

"We originally wanted to wait until our spa was fully finished to leave a review, but we just had to rave about Gabe and his team. They have been SO easy to work with—and when you’re opening a second spa location in San Diego, easy is everything. Gabe moved fast (he’ll be done by Monday—EEK!), and for business owners, time is money, so having a contractor who’s in and out efficiently is HUGE. During the project, he discovered some mold in the building. Not only did he notify the property owners immediately, but he also took care of the remediation, followed all proper protocols, and handled it all on his own. We’re forever grateful for how quickly and professionally he resolved it. Honestly, our favorite thing about working with Gabe is how he consistently goes above and beyond—especially in ways we didn’t expect, which meant a lot to us as two female business owners. We never once felt taken advantage of, which sadly can be a rare experience in this industry. To give you an idea of how fast he worked: our space includes five treatment rooms, two storage rooms, a kitchen, an office, and a lobby. He redesigned and completed the whole buildout in just over a month. He’s also a great communicator—sending us frequent updates, photos, and videos of the progress, which gave us so much peace of mind since we couldn’t always be on-site. His pricing is incredibly fair and, in our opinion, makes him unmatched in this industry. His work is impeccable, and it doesn’t break the bank. We truly could not recommend Gabe and his team more!"

FAQs for bathtub installation and replacement projects in San Diego, CA

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.
