Tub installation/replacement in Yonkers, NY
Out with the old tub, in with a new one — plumbing handled start to finish.
Replacing a bathtub involves more than setting a new fixture. The drain, overflow, and faucet connections all need to line up and seal properly. Tub installation and replacement covers removal of the old tub and installation of the new one with reliable plumbing connections.
Types of tubs and what they require
Alcove tubs fit between three walls and are the most common in Yonkers bathrooms. Drop-in tubs sit inside a built deck. Freestanding tubs stand alone and need floor-mounted or wall-mounted fillers and a precisely located drain. Soaking and whirlpool tubs add depth or jets, and may need electrical connections and floor reinforcement due to weight when filled.
We assess floor structure, drain location, and access to ensure the tub you choose will fit and function.
The drain and overflow matter most
Many hidden bathroom leaks come from tub drains and overflows that weren't sealed or aligned properly. We install the drain, overflow, and trap carefully and fill-test the tub before walls or panels are closed, so problems are caught before they cause damage below.
