Our Professional Bathtub Installation Process
Step 1:Consultation & Assessment
We begin with a comprehensive on-site evaluation of your Arlington bathroom, taking precise measurements, assessing existing plumbing and structural conditions, discussing your bathtub preferences, and identifying any modifications needed. We’ll review various tub styles, materials (acrylic, fiberglass, cast iron, stone), and features to match your budget and design goals, providing a detailed written estimate with transparent pricing.
Step 2:Removal & Preparation
Our experienced crew carefully removes your existing bathtub, protecting surrounding areas and flooring. We inspect the subfloor for water damage or rot, reinforce joists if necessary, examine supply lines and drain assemblies, and prepare the installation area with proper waterproofing membranes. For alcove installations, we ensure walls are square, plumb, and properly backed. All debris is hauled away, leaving a clean workspace.
Step 3:Plumbing & Support Installation
We install or modify plumbing as needed, positioning supply lines and drain assemblies according to your new tub specifications. For heavy tubs like cast iron or stone, we add structural reinforcement to joists and install proper mortar beds for alcove tubs to ensure level placement and prevent flexing. Freestanding tubs receive custom plumbing configurations with supply lines routed through the floor, while drop-in tubs get built-up decks with access panels.
Step 4:Bathtub Placement & Connection
With meticulous care, we position your new bathtub, ensuring perfect leveling in all directions using precision levels. We connect drain assemblies with proper P-traps and ensure adequate slope for drainage, attach overflow systems, and test all connections for leaks. For jetted tubs, we complete electrical connections with GFCI protection and test all functions. The tub is secured according to manufacturer specifications and building codes.
Step 5:Finishing & Quality Inspection
We complete your bathtub installation with finishing touches including tile surrounds if applicable, caulking all seams with mildew-resistant silicone, installing trim pieces and access panels, and connecting faucets and fixtures. A comprehensive quality inspection checks for proper drainage, leak-free connections, structural stability, and flawless appearance. We walk you through care instructions and ensure your complete satisfaction before considering the project complete.
