Remodeling work when it involves plumbing is a task that you shouldn't rush. However, if you're interested in having a bathtub installed and want to have it done quickly, there are some options. Reaching out to a professional to understand their assistance will assure you that the new tub fits into the bathroom correctly. Before moving forward with a DIY or professional installation, consider the benefits that they will offer.
Removal and Disposal
A challenging part of the installation of a new bathtub is having the old one disposed of properly. Not only can the size of the bathtub make removing it difficult, but you'll also need to arrange for the disposal of the tub. Due to the size of the tub, it may not be possible to simply carry it out of the bathroom and toss it into a dumpster. In this case, the old tub may need to be sawed in half before it can fit through the door, so you should reach out to a junk removal company for disposal.
Risk of Water Damage
The installation of a new bathtub requires expertise over plumbing due to the water hookups involved. Water damage can be a risk when installing any new fixture in your bathroom, especially when considering how much water fits in a bathtub. Since standard tubs hold around 80 gallons of water and extra deep tubs up to 110 gallons, you need to ensure that water damage won't be a concern.
You don't want to risk a water leak due to the connection not being made correctly or issues with the overflow drain. Since the caulking and adhesives need time to seal, rushing the project on your own could lead to leaks occurring. Professional help ensures that the timing for the project matches what's expected for a bathtub installation.
Fitting the New Tub
With the removal of the old bathtub, you'll have an open space that's ready for the new tub to be brought in. Taking precise measurements will ensure that the installation is the right fit for your bathroom and avoid gaps between the walls and the bathtub.
Installing your bathtub in a single day can lead to concerns over whether the project matches all the quality expectations you have. Working with a professional for the installation will ensure that your bathtub is installed correctly and prevent any mistakes being made that lead to water damage or a poorly fitting tub. Reach out to a professional for a one-day bathtub installation.
