Always ensure that your bathroom layout can accommodate the size of the tub you choose.

Can I Replace a Bathtub Without Redoing the Entire Bathroom?

The process involves preparing the space, aligning the plumbing correctly, setting the tub in place, and sealing it to prevent leaks. Given the complexity, especially with whirlpool or walk-in tubs, we strongly recommend consulting with a professional to ensure a safe and correct installation. Contact professional bathtub installation professionals for expert guidance and peace of mind.
