Bathtub Replacement and Installation in Saint Michaels

Plumbers Making Relaxation in Saint Michaels Easier Since 1987

For many, the bathtub represents a relaxing mini-getaway. It’s the place we go to wash off the stresses of a busy day. But there are times when this sanctuary is taken away from us. A dropped shampoo can crack the area near the drain, and time leaves your tub full of cracks and weak spots. When these things happen, it’s often more economical to replace your bathtub than to try and repair it. And, if you don’t already have a bathtub, it’s best to have the help of a professional plumber to install one.

Shaw's Heating, Air and Plumbing has been helping people fix and install bathroom fixtures in Saint Michaels area since 1987. In that time, we’ve gained a reputation as a trustworthy, knowledgeable plumbing company. With ample experience with bathtub installation and other bathroom remodeling tasks, we invite you to give us a call. With us, there’s no reason every day can’t be a spa day.

Why You Might Want to Spring for a New Bathtub in Saint Michaels

People spend a lot of time in their bathrooms and, for many, as much of that time as possible in their shower or tub. But as our life changes, our existing bathroom can cease to fit our needs. Below are the reasons most people reach out to us for bathtub replacement or installation in Easton or Saint Michaels:

1. It’s Outdated: Almond-colored tubs may have been all the rage once upon a time, but they’ve fallen out of fashion. If you find your current tub is an eyesore, replacing it is often the only option. You can call (410) 873-1829 to get a free quote and a few recommendations for tub brands that fit taste and budget.
2. You Need to Adapt Your Bathroom: If you’re no longer as spry as you used to be—or you just added some children to your home—your bathroom may need a new tub. Our plumbers can help you select a new tub that fits your needs. This includes tubs with low sides and seats or grab bars.
3. Extensive Repairs Are Needed: Look at your current tub. Is it full of chips and cracks? If so, it’s likely time to install a new one. Though band-aid solutions are available, these often just kick the can a few months down the road. In many cases, a few visits from a tub repairman will outweigh the cost of replacing the old tub.
4. Enhanced Comfort: For many homeowners, a bathtub is a more of a want and less of a need. That’s why many homes don’t have one at all. If that’s the case with yours, installing a new tub not only increases house values but can also help promote healthy relaxation.

Why Bathtub Replacement is a Job Best Left to a Plumber

Installing or replacing your tub is a serious undertaking. It’s a complicated process that typically requires the expertise of a licensed plumber. Typically, bathtub installation is one part of a larger bathroom remodel. In these situations, you’ll typically be working with a general contractor, plumber, and electrician. Allowing them to coordinate tasks together can make for a smoother remodel.

More than once, our staff have gotten calls from customers who tried to install their own bathtub. They usually followed a step-by-step guide or watched a few YouTube videos. But they missed a part or lack the tools to get everything connected. Now, they’ve got water leaking through their ceiling, a tub that refuses to drain, or a wobbly tub lacking major support pieces. Now, they’re calling us for help and paying more out of pocket to do it.

The money you save on DIY tub installation in Saint Michaels isn’t worth the potential damage you can do to your home, bathroom, or pride. So, skip the stress! Call the professional plumbing contractors at Shaw's instead.
