Common Problems with Bathtub Replacement

Bathtub replacement can be a significant investment in your home, but it's often necessary to address common issues that arise over time. Some of the most common problems we encounter with bathtub replacement in New Jersey include:

• Leaking Bathtub Faucet: Over time, the seals and components of your bathtub faucet can wear out, leading to leaks and water wastage. A bathtub replacement allows you to install a new faucet with modern features and improved efficiency.
• Clogged Bathtub Drain: Accumulation of hair, soap scum, and other debris can cause your bathtub drain to become clogged, resulting in slow drainage or standing water. During a bathtub replacement, we can inspect and clear any blockages to ensure proper drainage.
• Worn-out Bathtub Spout: The bathtub spout is prone to wear and tear, especially in areas with hard water. A worn-out spout can result in inconsistent water flow or leaks. With a bathtub replacement, you can choose a new spout that complements your bathroom decor and functions flawlessly.
• Cracked or Damaged Bathtub: Cracks, chips, or stains on your bathtub surface not only detract from the appearance of your bathroom but can also harbor bacteria and mold. A bathtub replacement allows you to upgrade to a new, durable bathtub that enhances the overall look and hygiene of your space.
• Outdated Design or Style: If your current bathtub doesn't align with your aesthetic preferences or functional needs, a replacement offers the opportunity to choose a design that better suits your taste and lifestyle. Whether you prefer a classic clawfoot tub or a sleek modern model, we have options to fit every style.

Parts of the Bathtub

Understanding the different parts of a bathtub can help you better grasp the replacement process. Here are the key components:

• Bathtub Faucet: The faucet controls the flow and temperature of water into the bathtub. Modern faucets come in a variety of styles, including single-handle, dual-handle, and wall-mounted options, to suit your preferences.
• Bathtub Drain: The drain is responsible for removing used water from the bathtub. It consists of a stopper mechanism to control water flow and a drainpipe that connects to the plumbing system beneath the tub.
• Bathtub Spout: The spout is the outlet through which water flows into the bathtub. It can be fixed or have a diverter mechanism to redirect water to a showerhead in a bathtub/shower combination.
