"We considered various companies/proposals when we were looking to do our bathtub to shower conversions. We are delighted we choose Shugarmanâ s Bath. All the Shugarmanâ s folks (Owner, Sales, Office, Installers, Supervisors) we interacted with throughout the purchase, installation and subsequent interactions were/are top notch. After the installation we asked about a relate concern, Shugarmanâ s inspected the situation and then 100% addressed the issue even though it meant notable effort on their part. When Shugarman says they stand 100% behind their product/work that is not a mere slogan. Cannot recommend them highly enough."

"More than exceeded my expectations. Very professional in every way from cleanliness to respectfulness. Needed a new water heater installed. Other companies wanted an arm and a leg while hermoso plumbing gave me a great deal with even greater service. In and out faster than expected with no hassles. Will definitely be giving them a call back for all my plumbing needs. Highly recommended."

"Dave did great work for us. We wanted to update three bathrooms. Dave replaced the floors, vanities, mirrors, and all the fixtures. He also brought in a subcontractor to reglazed the tubs. Dave finished on time, on budget, and the work looks great. I will definitely call Dave next time I need a contractor or handyman."

"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!"

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.
