"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!"

"Ismael contacted me first out of other 5 pro I initiated through Angi, just minutes after. I chatted back and forth with him few times while collecting offers from all the others. In the end I decided to proceed with his business Chandler's Plumbing and set up and appointment for install today at 3pm. Josh showed up at my door 3:20pm and they replaced old 19y old leaking tank with new Rheem and were done by 4:05pm. That's 45min for entire operation! I'm happy with this experience and took few pics."

"The work began on December 30, 2015 and continued, with a break for New Year's Day, into the next week. Everyone connected to the project was professional, honest, friendly, and efficient. The men tore out the old tile and backing, inspected the wood, and removed the old tub. All the discarded materials were hauled away. They installed the new tub and Jason did the plumbing. They then installed new insulation, cement board, and a vapor block sheet. Jason knew that having a bathroom out of commission for any time was inconvenient, so he kept the down time to a minimum. I had one night without the use of the toilet while the floor tile set, and then they were back the next day, finishing the job. Finally, my dream bathroom was complete and it looked beautiful! 
During this process, the toilet was removed and reconnected several times to keep it available for use as much as possible. Perhaps in one of those moves, something fell into the drain. In any case, I had problems in the weeks that followed with blockage in the toilet and tub, but Jason responded quickly and did his best to clear it. The third time, he hired a plumber to snake and camera the drain. The problem was resolved and has not returned. Throughout, Jason remained calm, professional, and kind in his dealings with me. 
I liked all the people who worked with Jason; they clearly respected me, my daughter - even our little dog - and were careful to keep us informed of every step in the process. I also noticed that they spoke respectfully to each other and never made negative remarks, even during the arduous process of pulling out a 300+ pound tub. I now have a wonderful deep tub to relax in after a hard day's work. It is a beautiful space and I'm happy I chose Precision Built Construction. I will definitely hire Jason again for my
next renovation project."

"The porcelain tile installation turned out better than we hoped. Their workers adapted to the change that proved necessary (we tried to remove the previous tile and cement board underlayment ourselves). They also disposed of the tile we removed. The new floor is a joy to behold."

"We use edi's services for a while now, the last project that was done in our house in Oakland was this year, they remodeled our bathroom and the restroom and as usual we couldn't be happier. To start with, I think the price was really fair, and when it comes to the work itself, they keep everything clean and nice through out the whole thing, so you don't really feel them! Of course there is the construction noise, especially at the beginning when they have to demolish everything, but the whole operation looks like it is planned to the last detail with them. The bathroom looks really good and they installed the tile like we asked them to and were very helpful and advised what we should do and what we should not do. All in all the project started on time, they finished within the time frame that was given to us in the beginning, and they passed all inspections. I'm proud at my new bathroom and wish I had money to do more... but we'll get there too :)
Thank you"

FAQs for bathtub installation and replacement projects in Watsonville, 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.
