"We had an excellent experience with Jacuzzi! We had 2 showers and 1 bathtub, all damaged and leaking, that needed to be replaced. The installers were friendly and professional. They all did excellent work and we're very happy with the new showers and baths. We've had some bad experiences with other contractors recently, so it was very refreshing to have such a smooth and high quality experience. Thank you so much Tanner, Garrett, Andrew F, Kaden, and Armando!"

"When my husband and I adopted a long-haired cat last month and needed to replace the carpeting in our living room and two bedrooms with hardwood flooring to make it easier to clean up when our cat sheds, we immediately thought of Bay Easy Construction! Ofer and his crew did such an amazing job when we hired them last year to add 450 square feet (three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an additional living room) that we could not wait to work with them again on this project. <br /> <br /> We were really eager to get our new flooring installed as soon as possible, and Ofer was able to fit us into his schedule within the week we called to take a look at our house and give us an estimate. The price was within our budget, so Ofer and his crew were able to start work on our new floors the following week. Bhumi, the designer, helped us pick out a beautiful maple colored wood flooring that makes the older part of our house look more modern and that matches the additional space that was added to the back of our house recently. The entire process went smoothly and quickly, and Ofer, as well as Jessie, the project manager, were always available and responsive when we had questions. <br /> <br /> We are so happy with how the finished product looks, and we've gotten lots of compliments from friends and family who have visited us and seen our new flooring. We cannot recommend Bay Easy Construction enough! The entire team was very professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly."

"My review is already out there. I wanted to add that when Travis arrived, the garage area where he needed to work was cluttered and he helped my wife move the clutter. Also my wife did not know that our old water heater was missing earthquake straps so she had not mentioned this as part of the job. Travis did not have straps on Sunday but he returned on Monday early in the morning and installed the straps for only $20."

FAQs for bathtub installation and replacement projects in Santa Cruz, 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.
