We are a local bath and shower installer and we stand behind every job. You are not handed off to a subcontractor. Every job follows the same disciplined process:
Chipped enamel, stains that come back, a soft spot underfoot or grout that will not stay clean are the usual reasons people replace a tub. A new acrylic tub with a matching surround fixes all of them at once, because the walls are one smooth surface instead of grout lines. Most replacements in Arkansas take as little as one day.
Replacing a bathtub in Arkansas typically costs $10,000 to $18,000 with a new surround. An acrylic tub and wall surround sits near the low end, and a soaking tub, a tub and shower combo or a patterned surround moves it up. These are typical installed figures, not quotes.
Most bathtub replacements are done in as little as one day. Our own install team removes the old tub and walls, sets the new tub, installs the surround and connects the fixtures. A heavy cast iron tub or a soft subfloor can add time, and that is noted in the written price.
Replacing the walls with the tub gets rid of grout lines and old walls at the same time, and the new panels are made to fit the new tub. A bathtub replacement with new walls typically costs $10,000 to $18,000 installed. Keeping old grouted walls around a new tub often leaves a seam that leaks or looks mismatched.
Refinishing costs less up front but the coating can peel, and it does nothing about grout or worn walls. Replacement gives you a new tub and grout free walls in about one day, typically for $10,000 to $18,000 with a new surround. If the tub is already cracked or soft underfoot, replacement is the only real fix.
Yes, as long as the alcove and floor can take it. A soaking tub sits higher in the typical $10,000 to $18,000 range than a standard acrylic tub and surround. The consultant checks the alcove size and the floor during the free visit.
Yes. Cast iron tubs are heavy and sometimes need to be broken up to come out of the room, which adds labor. That work is priced into the written quote, and most replacements still finish in as little as one day. Typical installed prices run $10,000 to $18,000 depending on the new tub and walls.
Replacement tubs and surrounds from Bath Planet of Arkansas carry the Bath Planet limited lifetime warranty on the acrylic tub and wall surround, and Bath Planet of Arkansas backs the installation, subject to the written terms. Typical installed prices run $10,000 to $18,000, and the warranty paperwork comes with the written price.
Yes, the Bath Planet acrylic products that Bath Planet of Arkansas installs carry a limited lifetime warranty, and Bath Planet of Arkansas backs the installation. The word limited matters, so ask to see the written warranty terms before you sign, including what is covered, what is excluded and how to submit a request. The Bath Planet warranty covers acrylic work such as a bathtub replacement, which the published price table lists at $10,000 to $18,000, while a walk in tub, listed at $14,000 to $20,000, carries its manufacturer's lifetime warranty on the shell, door, faucets and electrical parts. Most installs finish in as little as one day, so the finished installation can be inspected right away. Keep your invoice, the product details and photos of the completed work. Specifics can change with the products you choose and the condition of the walls and plumbing, so confirm them for your own project during the free in home design consultation.
Contact the company that sold and installed your tub or shower through the phone number or contact form on its website, and have your contract and install date ready. Most jobs finish in as little as one day, so that date sets the starting point for your warranty coverage. Send your address, a short description of the problem, and clear photos of the tub, shower, wall panels or fixtures, plus a note of when you first noticed it. Keeping paperwork matters because, according to Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table, installed systems run from $10,000 to $18,000 for a bathtub replacement up to $14,000 to $20,000 for a walk in tub. Leaks, loose caulk lines and fixture defects are easier to assess with a clear timeline. Water damage that reaches your homeowner's policy is a separate matter between you and your insurer.
A bathtub replacement in Arkansas typically costs $10,000 to $18,000 installed, according to Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table. These are typical installed figures, not quotes. Several things move the price: the tub style, the surround material, whether the layout changes, and any repairs found behind the old walls, such as damaged framing or subfloor. Moving plumbing or changing the tub footprint raises the number, while a straight swap in the same space stays nearer the low end. Most replacements are done in as little as one day, and the install team removes the old unit, sets the new system and hauls the debris away. A free in home design consultation gives you a written quote for your own bathroom.
Contact the installer in writing as soon as you notice a leak, slow drain, crack or loose fixture, because most replacements finish in as little as one day and the work is easy to trace. Photograph the problem, note the date, and shut off water to the fixture if it is dripping. A small gap at a seam may only need resealing, while a steady drip points to a connection or fixture defect. The cause decides the fix: a failed seal, a loose drain or supply connection, or a flaw in the unit itself. According to Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table, a bathtub replacement with a new wall surround typically runs $10,000 to $18,000 installed. A defect in the Bath Planet acrylic falls under its limited lifetime warranty, and Bath Planet of Arkansas backs the installation, so ask for that coverage to be applied.
Use the day before install day to clear the bathroom, open a path to it and lock in your selections, since most one day jobs finish in as little as one day. Remove everything from the tub, shower, vanity top and walls, including towel bars, shelves, curtains and decor, and empty any cabinet near the work. Move cars so the install team can park close, and keep a clear walking route from the entry door to the bathroom. Roll up rugs and move fragile items along that route. Keep pets and children in another part of the house, and plan to use a second bathroom, because the water may be shut off for part of the day. Confirm wall color, pattern and fixture choices beforehand, since changes on the day can push the work past one day. A one day bathtub replacement typically runs $10,000 to $18,000, and hidden water damage or moved plumbing can add time, according to Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table.
