"Jacuzzi sent one of their employees Cameron Martin to install a walk in shower for us. He did all the work himself and did excellent work. He took out our old bathtub and we were so pleased when he installed our new walk in shower. He was very good of explaining everything from the start and through the whole process. He was a very nice young man and a hard worker. We could tell he takes pride in his work."

"Darryll and Angie were fantastic throughout the entire process. Shortly after we selected GA Chott there was a medical situation in our family that caused us to delay the project and they were very understanding and responsive to our needs. When it came time to choose the materials and accessories, Darryll was very incredible helping in guiding our family through our selections, even making recommendations on lower price options that he felt represented better value. My wife had concerns about potential water damage behind some of the walls that weren't being replaced. Darryll told us that water damage in those areas was highly unlikely in the absence of other signs. He said he would be willing to do the extra work but that if it was his bathroom he wouldn't do it, because it would be spending well over a thousand dollars on something that wasn't likely to provide any value. When the time came to start the remodel the workers were extremely professional, courteous, and kept us informed every step of the way. We decided to make a change to how we originally had planned the electrical work which they accommodated without hesitation or additional charge even though it was more work. They finished the remodel two days before the estimate and the results were fantastic. It has been 3 months since the work was completed and have no concerns about the quality of the work. I would (and have) highly recommend GA Chott to anyone looking to do home remodeling. They clearly care about delivering great service, at a fair price, and developing long-term customers."

"Romine Contracting did a fantastic job on our bathroom. We had a leaky shower, so decided it was time to update our master bathroom. They brought our vision to life. The shower is beautiful, bathtub luxurious, and tile work is absolutely stunning. They obviously take a lot of pride in their work. We are so glad we found them to do our bathroom remodel."

"A step n'shower was installed in one 12 hour day. Installers were professional, worked to remove tub and then install an excellent step-in shower. Safety features were a special issue for me at age 82. When a question arose then following day, the installers returned that very day and checked on their work. The slight problem was not due to their installment and they advised me as to the next step. I am thoroughly satisfied."

"Al rebuilt my porch during the pandemic. All went great. There was a window to be replaced that didn't come in before the work was completed. Al called me when it came in to schedule installation. It was now during the height of the pandemic. I was concerned about keeping an older parent safe so asked Al to wait to install the window. He was very agreeable to what made me comfortable with the situation. I called him a couple months later and scheduled the installation. He came and installed it. I'm very grateful that during a difficult time he respected my views and rearranged his work schedule. Will definitely hire again."

"Jesus and his crew did a remarkable job. The project involved a bathroom rough in in the basement. Contacted over 7 bathroom remodelers in the area and only 2 could complete a bathroom install from only a rough in. We were very fortunate to find Bathroom Excellence on Angieâ s list. The crew were very polite, professional and treated this project as if they were working on their own homes. They handled everything from acquiring local builder permits to new plumbing, electric, flooring, dry wall and painting. Jesus did a fantastic job on the muddying and taping of the dry wall which is really a construction art. Worked with Jack on the original bid and contract. They really delivered on what they promised. We couldnâ t be happier as the new bathroom is beautiful. Customer service was exceptional which is refreshing to find in a company. So many companies promise customer service but it falls flat. Bathroom Excellence delivers in every area. Highly recommend this company for their high quality craftsmanship and service."

FAQs for bathtub installation and replacement projects in University City, MO

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.
