"Replaced shower and vanity in 1 bathroom, installed new cerimic tile in shower, bathroom floor. Vanity and tile covered over bathroom exesting vent. (wife takes cold shower when she ) . Shower doors had excessive spacing and had to be reinstalled, so as not to leak on floor. The existing commode when reinstalled now leaks. Lance Read was called to repair but never showed up. The existing bathroom door has scars from demon. Molding both shoe and base not installed correctl. Shower no. 2 was even worse. When they left not finishing, his worker stole items from house. I have pictures and can/will invite anyone to see. This was the worse experience I have ever had in my life."

"As someone who has been in construction management for over 25 years, I rarely hire contractors—I usually take on projects myself because I can achieve the quality I expect. However, this remodel of my kitchen, dining, and living room was too large for me to tackle on my own, so I decided to hire Murphy Construction—and I’m glad I did. They exceeded every expectation. Murphy Construction are true perfectionists who take the time to ensure every detail is done right. The craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the project were exceptional. What impressed me most was their pride in their work—they even corrected existing issues that weren’t part of their original scope, without being asked and without hesitation. It’s rare to find a contractor who treats your home and project as if it were their own. Murphy Construction does exactly that. I highly recommend them to anyone who values quality, professionalism, and integrity."

" In October 2024, Josh and his team at Coastal Builders LLC helped us in addition to the house for eldercare. This was an extensive project that included a carport, and an additional room to the house that included a safer bathroom and a wash area. The entire team were excellent in informing us about the progress of the addition to the house. Any questions that the owners had were promptly answered. When issues arose, Josh always offered solutions and sought to make sure that our preferences were accommodated. He even offered to run small errands for us. We recommend the entire team at Coastal Builders to anyone who has a project."

"Jimmy was fantastic with his work and communication. I've had contractors + builders that could go days without communicating. Jimmy always got back in an appropriate amount of time. The work his team was fantastic. They converted our dining room to a home office and remodeled all three of our bathrooms."

FAQs for bathtub installation and replacement projects in Wilmington, NC

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.
