Swap the Worn-Out Tub for One You Want to Use
Some tubs are past saving. The finish is cracked through, the floor of the tub flexes, or the drain has been seeping for years. We pull the old one out, see what is going on underneath and set a new tub that suits the way you bathe, from a deep alcove soaker to a freestanding centerpiece or a door-entry walk-in model.
Ready for bathtub replacement in Tampa without a month of contractors in your house? Our installers cart off the old tub, repair the subfloor if it is soft, connect a new drain and overflow, and finish the alcove with large porcelain wall panels when the tile is tired. You get every cost listed on paper during the visit, can spread the cost with financing and keep a lifetime warranty on the work.

The Crew Tampa Families Trust With a Tub Swap
Pulling a tub is heavy, messy work, and the surprises are under it. Our crews do it week in and week out, so rotted subfloor, corroded drains and out-of-level framing get fixed before the new tub goes down.

tear-out to caulk
We Fix What Is Underneath
Once the old tub is out, we check the floor and drain lines and repair problems instead of covering them.
Back to Bathing Quickly
Most tub swaps are wrapped up in about 48 hours, so the bathroom is not torn apart for weeks.
The Tub Style You Actually Want
Go deeper, go freestanding or step through a door with a walk-in tub. The new tub does not have to match the old one.
Warranty for Life
Every replacement we install carries a lifetime warranty, and our office picks up the phone.
How Your Old Tub Becomes a New One
Four clear stages, handled by the same installers from the first tape measure to the final caulk line.
Measure and choose
We size the opening, note where the drain sits and walk you through alcove, freestanding and walk-in options that fit it.
Price in writing
At the kitchen table you get a line-item quote, your financing choices and an install date that suits you.
Remove and repair
We cut out the old tub if it will not fit through the door, then we check the subfloor, replace soft spots and fit a fresh drain and overflow.
Set, seal and test
The new tub is leveled and bedded, walls or surround panels go up where planned, and we fill the tub with you to check for leaks.

Full Tub Replacement vs Refinishing vs a Tub Liner
Homeowners with a worn tub usually hear about three fixes. Here is how they differ, so you can pick the one that solves the real problem.
| Question to ask | Full tub replacementWhat we install | Refinishing (reglazing) | Liner over the old tub |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finds leaks and rot under the tub | Yes, the area is opened and inspected | No, the tub never moves | No, the old tub stays underneath |
| Lets you change tub style or size | Yes, alcove, freestanding or walk-in | No, same tub with a new coating | No, it follows the old tub’s shape |
| Surface you end up with | A brand-new factory finish | A sprayed coating that can chip or peel with heavy use | A molded shell whose life depends on the fit and seal |
| Walls around the tub | Can be redone in the same project | Usually left as they are | Often paired with a matching wall kit |
| Ideal situation | The tub is cracked, leaking or the wrong type | The tub is solid and only the finish is dull | A quick cosmetic cover is the main goal |
| Covered by our lifetime warranty | Yes | No | No |
If your tub is sound and just looks dull, we will say so at the visit instead of selling you a new one.
Signs Your Bathtub Has Reached the End
A tub that is cracked, soft underfoot or leaking will not get better with more caulk. Replacing it is also the moment to rethink the style, whether that means a deeper soak, a freestanding look or a door you can walk through.
Replacement is the right call if:
- Chips or hairline cracks go through the finish
- The tub floor bends or creaks when you stand in it
- You see water stains on the floor or ceiling near the tub
- Getting over the tub wall has become a struggle
Only want to shower? If baths are a thing of the past in your home, a tub to shower conversion may suit you better than a new tub. We will lay out both options honestly at the visit.
or walk-in
Tub styles we install
Alcove soaking tub
Fits the standard three-wall nook, with more depth than the builder-grade tub it replaces.
Freestanding tub
A sculpted tub that stands on its own and turns a larger bathroom into a spa corner.
Walk-in tub with a door
Step through a sealed door instead of climbing over the rim, then sit and soak.
New porcelain surround
Large wall panels replace cracked tile and moldy grout above an alcove tub.

Bathtub Replacement Questions, Answered

How many days does a bathtub swap take?
Most tub swaps we take on wrap up in about 48 hours. Rotted subfloor or a drain that has to be relocated can stretch that, and the schedule is settled before work starts.
Can a bathtub be replaced without tearing out the wall tile?
Sometimes. The tub flange sits behind the lowest row of tile, so at least that strip has to come off. If the rest of the tile is cracked or the grout is moldy, a new porcelain surround is usually the cleaner fix.
Can I put in a bigger or deeper tub?
Often, yes. Alcove openings come in standard sizes, so a deeper soaker usually fits the same space. A longer tub or a freestanding model may need framing or drain changes, which we check at the visit.
Should I refinish my tub or replace it?
Refinishing only recoats the surface. If the tub is cracked, flexing, leaking or simply the wrong style for you, replacement is the fix that lasts.
Can my old tub be replaced with a walk-in model?
Yes. We replace standard tubs with walk-in tubs that have a door and a built-in seat, which helps anyone who finds stepping over a high rim difficult.
What if there is water damage under my old tub?
We find out as soon as the tub is out. Soft or rotted subfloor gets cut out and replaced before the new tub is set, so it rests on a solid base.
How much does bathtub replacement cost in Tampa?
It depends on the tub type, any subfloor or plumbing repairs and whether the walls are redone. We measure for free, hand you a written number that same day and can spread the cost over monthly payments.
Where in Tampa Bay do you replace tubs?
We replace bathtubs across Tampa, Lutz, Wesley Chapel plus the smaller communities around them. Give the office a ring to confirm your street is on our route.
