So, you’re looking for a bathtub repair or replacement to breathe fresh life to your bathroom. Replacing a bathtub is a major project. If there is tile around it, then at least 2 rows of tile has to be removed. Some of it will be broken and the same color and style may not be available any longer so that compounds the issue. Often the plumbing has to be rearranged to align properly with a new tub. And there is always the question of whether a new tub will even fit through the doors.

As a result, most bathroom demolition and remodel projects can cost in excess of $10,000 and take 10 to 14 days to complete. Not to mention the scheduling conflicts between the contractor, tile man, plumber and possibly a carpenter. And all of this just to resurface the bathtub!
