Bath Fitter offers top-quality, customized bathroom renovation products and service and can complete the entire installation in one day! We provide more than just bathtub liners and bath surrounds. With more than 25 years of experience, we tailor each acrylic bathtub and shower to fit your specific bathroom. We also have a wide range of accessories including shower doors to complete your bathroom design. You get a comprehensive solution that goes beyond quick bathtub resurfacing fixes. Because measurements are taken in advance, and manufacturing is completed at our facility, we are able to install the entire one-piece seamless shower or bathtub enclosure in just one day without compromising on quality and you'll get a lifetime warranty, too. Explore our bath remodeling, shower remodeling and tub-to-shower conversion services and see why a Bath Fitter bathroom makes all the difference.

"Buyer beware! Terrible customer service and negligent technicians. Bath Fitters Orlando installed our tub and the overflow drain leaked shortly after install. The leak damaged my air handler control box/ wiring (located one floor below the tub) and cost me over $600 to have an electrician fix. I called service who sent the original installer who claimed to fix the problem. I discovered that actually, he just plugged the overflow drain with caulking. Contacted service again who said â another service call would be $200. I protested and received a call from someone in upper management a day latter. In that conversation I had, with someone in NY, who told me four times in 20 a minute conversation â they were in business to make money, not lose money on service calls. When the leak was (obviously) not fixed, another serviceman was sent out. After cutting a hole in a closet wall and one failed attempt, he was able to properly connect the drain pipe correctly and removed the caulking from the overflow. The customer service has been appalling. Bath Fitter has been unresponsive - no callbacks and straight to voicemail. It is been beyond frustrating because if the tub had been installed correctly, I would not need any service. This posting was sent to Bath Fitters a week before posting and no response tells you the level of service and warranty. I have video, photos and witnesses, so I will be going to small claims court as after many attempts to handle this outside of court, they have shown no interest in doing the right thing to correct their mistake. I will also be contacting the Better Business Bureau in an effort to protect the public."

They had me over a barrel because it was late in the day and unless I let them fix it then I would have been without water or toilet. They pressured me to get the job done. They did not even have the part. This is a fly by night company. They had to go to Home Depot to get a simple connector that any plumber would have had in their truck. And then they stuck me for $2500 which I paid. I didn't want any trouble. But now I've changed my mind. They can't be allowed to prey on Senior Citizens. I've reported them to BBB but that's a waste of time. I think that since they created a problem where there was none, I should get all of my $2500 back."

We have been designing kitchens, baths, closets and other home remodeling projects since 1977 in Central Florida! We have seven showrooms to serve you - Longwood, Winter Park, Windermere, Palm Harbor, Sarasota, Melbourne and Tampa. Our award winning team can help you get the home of your dreams on budget and on time...without the stress!

"I decided it was time to re-do my old, outdated, ugly master bathroom. I initially thought I would try to save money and hire a DIY/one-man fixer upper, but soon realized that was taking up too much of my time and I could never find anyone dependable. I did some research and found S&W Kitchens (Longwood showroom). I liked that they were family owned and had been around for a long time. My first encounter was with Amy who would be my design lead. Our first meeting was to talk about the whole process of what and how working with S&W Kitchens would entail. She was very thorough and made things very easy to understand. Once we got through that stage, meetings were set up discuss my vision of what the bathroom would look like. I did have several photos and a concept of what I was wanting to do which did help in that process, as well as helpful suggestions from Amy. Once everything was decided, Amy did a fantastic job in every aspect of putting together the materials that were needed to begin the job and following through to completion. My next point of contact was with Adam who was the construction supervisor. He arranged and scheduled the various trade subcontractors and always kept in touch with me on who would be showing up and when. If I had any issues during the renovation Adam was there to answer any questions, fix any problems, and make sure I was pleased with how things were going. I now have a beautiful bathroom and I couldn’t be more happy. S&W does it ALL and I would highly recommend their company for any of your renovation needs. Anne R. 5/20/25"

"Overall it was terrable. He (Jacob) came out on 3‐14 to check our frig. He said he'd order the part and be back when it came in. Usually the next day. I càlled on 3-18 to check on part. She said that he forgot to order the part and that she would. Since it was ordered on Fridaÿ it wouldn't be in untill Monday or Tuesday. When it finally came in they schulded fot that Saturday. He installed the part but still no water dispenced. He took out filter and inserted a new one still no water. He said he wasn't sure what was wrong but unplug it to see if it was frozen inside of the the door. Otherwise they would have to send out some one else and there would be another service call fee. He then left. As soon as he left the water started leaking out all over the kitchen floor. It now makes a god awful noise from who knows what!! Never made the noise before!

"I made an appointment for a one-piece Kohler toilet removal and installation of a new Kohler Tresham toilet estimate initially, after getting an estimate from Angi for same quote for $194.00. "Eddie" came out and was very professional and highly skilled (had installed this toilet model many times) and shocked me with the price quote of $400! I negotiated and got an offer for $350 and proceeded with the install. It took this professional one hour to remove and install new toilet. He hauled away the old toilet as well. I would love to have "Eddie" as my plumber for everything but will not be doing business with this company in the future because of the exorbitant and unfair charges. It was explained to me that this was a specialty toilet but one piece toilets traditionally are less expensive labor wise to install."

Bathtub installations and replacements FAQs

You might need a new bathtub if you're noticing leaks, cracks, or stains that just won't come out. Most tubs last around 20 years, but acrylic and fiberglass ones might only last 10 to 15 years. If mold or mildew has become a problem, or if your tub feels outdated or isn't as accessible as you'd like, it could be time for a replacement. Taking care of these issues now can prevent bigger problems later, like water damage, and make your bathroom a safer, more comfortable space.

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.

Yes, you can refinish your tub if it's structurally sound but has surface imperfections like scratches, chips, or stains. Refinishing costs $330 to $630, depending on the material, and is a cost-effective alternative to full replacement. The process involves repairing any damage and applying a new coating, giving your tub a refreshed appearance. While refinishing can extend the life of your bathtub and restore its look, it's a temporary solution and may need to be redone every few years to maintain its condition. It's ideal for tubs in good shape that need a cosmetic update.

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.
