Three Bathtub Services
New Orleans Bathtub Replacement
Walk-in tubs, full replacements and liners. Which one you need depends on whether the tub you have is still sound. We will tell you which at TurnKey Bathroom Renovations once we have seen it, so ask us to look before you choose.
What We Build
Every Bathtub We Fit
Three routes, and the cheapest one is only cheaper if the tub underneath is still good.
Walk-In Tubs
A sealed door and a low step-in for anyone who wants to keep a bath but cannot climb into one. We handle the plumbing and the framing it needs.
Bathtub Replacement
Out with the cracked or dated tub, in with a new alcove or freestanding unit. Surround tile is rebuilt at the same time so the joint is watertight.
Tub Liners
A moulded liner fitted over a sound existing tub when the shell is ugly but not failing. The fastest option on this list.
We will tell you on site which of the three your tub actually needs. Free, and nothing to sign.
Before You Choose
Liner, Replacement or Walk-In?
It comes down to the condition of what is already there, not to the budget.
| If this is true | The service | Why that one |
|---|---|---|
| The tub is sound, it just looks tired | Tub Liner | A moulded liner over a shell that is ugly but not failing. The fastest of the three, because nothing is demolished. Not sure it is sound? We check before we quote. |
| The tub is cracked, or the surround has failed | Bathtub Replacement | The old tub comes out and the surround tile is rebuilt, which is the only way to deal with whatever is behind it. |
| Someone cannot climb over the tub wall | Walk-In Tub | A sealed door and a low step-in. The plumbing and the framing the unit needs are part of the job, not an extra. |
| You would rather the tub was gone entirely | Tub to Shower Conversion | That one lives on the showers side. Same footprint, so no plumbing has to be relocated. |
Before You Call
Bathtub Questions We Get Most
Short answers. The written estimate carries the detail for your own room.
What is the difference between a tub liner and a replacement?
A liner is a moulded shell fitted over your existing tub, and it only works if that tub is structurally sound. A replacement takes the old tub out and rebuilds the surround tile, which is what you need if the tub is cracked or if something behind the wall has failed.
How long does the work take?
Most full bathroom renovations run two to three weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Your written estimate carries the schedule for your specific room.
Do you install walk-in tubs?
We do. Walk-in tubs are part of our standard work, and they are the right call if someone in the house has trouble stepping over a tub wall. The plumbing and framing the unit requires are included.
Can you turn the bath into a shower instead?
Yes, that is one of our most requested jobs. It sits under showers: we remove the tub and install a new base, wall tile and glass in the same footprint, so no plumbing has to be relocated.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold Louisiana Residential License #890459 and Commercial License #3667, and we carry insurance on every project.
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. Estimates are free and there is nothing to sign. We measure the bathroom, talk through what you want changed, and leave you with a written price.
