Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our bathtub services in New Orleans.
How long does a bathtub installation take?
Most standard bathtub installations are completed in one to two days. The timeline can vary based on the type of tub, any plumbing changes, and the condition of your existing bathroom — we will give you a clear estimate before we begin.
Do you install walk-in tubs for seniors and accessibility?
Yes — walk-in tubs are one of our specialties. We help you choose a safe, comfortable model with features like a low step-in threshold, built-in seating, and grab bars, then handle the complete installation.
What is bathtub refinishing, and how long does it last?
Refinishing restores the surface of your existing tub — repairing chips and stains and applying a fresh, durable coating for a like-new look at a fraction of the cost of replacement. With proper care, a quality refinish typically lasts 10 to 15 years.
Should I repair, refinish, or replace my bathtub?
It depends on the tub’s condition and your goals. Minor cracks, stains, or a dated color are often perfect for repair or refinishing. Structural damage, leaks, or a full layout change usually call for replacement. We will assess it honestly during your free estimate.
Do you restore antique clawfoot tubs?
Absolutely. We refinish and restore clawfoot and other vintage tubs, inside and out — bringing back their classic charm while making them fully functional for everyday use.
Are you licensed and insured?
