Full bathtub removal and replacement. New tub installation, plumbing modifications, tile repair, and finishing. When refinishing isn't the right fit, we handle the full replacement.
Sometimes a bathtub is beyond refinishing — whether it's cracked through the substrate, you want to change the size or style, or you're remodeling your bathroom layout. Heritage Coatings provides complete bathtub replacement services so you don't have to coordinate multiple contractors.
Our replacement service includes removal of the old tub, plumbing modifications if needed, installation of your new fixture, surrounding tile repair or replacement, caulking, and finishing. We work with standard alcove tubs, freestanding tubs, drop-in tubs, and corner units.
Full bathtub replacement starts at $3,000, depending on the tub style, material, plumbing modifications, and tile or surround work required. High-end freestanding or jetted tubs can cost $5,000–$7,000+ installed.
Most bathtub replacements take 2–4 days, depending on complexity. This includes removal of the old tub, plumbing modifications, installation of the new tub, and any surrounding tile or wall repair.
We remove and dispose of the old tub, make any necessary plumbing modifications, install the new tub, repair or replace surrounding tile and walls, apply caulking, and test all plumbing connections before clearing the job.
If your tub is structurally sound with only cosmetic issues like stains, chips, or an outdated color, refinishing saves 70–90% and takes just one day. Replacement is the better choice when the tub has structural cracks, extensive rust damage, or you want a completely different tub style or size.
We install standard alcove tubs, freestanding tubs, drop-in tubs, and walk-in tubs. Materials include acrylic, fiberglass, and cast iron. We help you select the right tub for your bathroom layout and budget.
