"Excellent Bathtub Remodeling Experience! I recently had my bathtub remodeled, and I am extremely pleased with the results! The entire experience was great, from the initial design consultation to the completed remodel. The design consultant was excellent and very helpful in guiding us through the selection process, making sure we chose the right materials, fixtures, and finishes for our bathroom. The remodeling work was completed by Shane and Mike, who did a fantastic job! They were professional, skilled, and paid great attention to detail. Their quality of workmanship was excellent, and the finished bathtub looks beautiful. I am very satisfied with the overall experience and truly appreciate everyone's efforts in making this project a success. I would highly recommend their services to anyone considering a bathroom remodel!"

"Showed up onsite quickly to review the work, discuss options, & provide quote. Expensive, but rep'd a quality brand, worked quickly, & quality work. I wish the electrician they pulled in would have talked it over with me before doing their portion, I was not happy with that part."

"We CLOULD NOT BE HAPPIER with having chosen Sonny Builders for our fireplace update! Hilario, our project manager, was a trusted partner throughout the process, from the initial estimate to selecting design elements. He ensured every step of the job went according to plan from start-to-finish. Hilario's communication was impeccable, following up at each step via phone and text - he was as invested in the successful reno as we were and we're so grateful for his help! Additionally, it should be noted that EVERY SINGLE pro who was involved in this job was an ABSOLUTE JOY to work with - not only were they top-notch practitioners in their trade and craft, they are also great people. Everyone was friendly, respectful of our property, and patient with our curious puppies :-) It says a lot when the job is done and YOU MISS THE CREW - we found ourselves in that situation after work was finished. Great job Sonny Builders and thank you for the beautifully reimagined fireplace - we love it!"

"We had a very happy experience with Jacuzzi. We were replacing a 53-year-old shower with a new shower. Our sales girl VERONICA was wonderful. She made us feel very confident of the quality of the materials and the installers used by Jacuzzi, as well as their warranty. We had a slight hiccup as we got ready for the installation, but everyone I spoke with, especially the project manager, GUSTAVO, was so respectful as we worked out the issue. The installers JORGE and ROBERT were both great. We were very pleased with how quietly they worked. We had a big issue with roots under the old shower with broken cement and a ton of dirt to clean up, which required a lot of extra work on their part. All of this was covered by our purchase price, of course. The shower was expensive but a 1 1/2 day installation and lifetime warranty are worth it. The shower is beautiful!"

FAQs for bathtub installation and replacement projects in San Marcos, 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.
