Benefits of Professional Tub Removal

Reclaimed Bathroom Space

Easier Accessibility

No tub rim means safer entry for elderly family members and those with mobility concerns.

Professional Tub Extraction and Subfloor Preparation

Removing a heavy bathtub requires advanced tools and careful planning. Our experienced team handles the entire demolition process safely, ensuring your bathroom structural framework remains protected.

Certified Plumbing Disconnection

We turn off your water main and carefully remove all brass tub drain lines and overflow piping. We permanently cap unused hot and cold supply lines behind the drywall with heavy copper caps.

Subfloor Joist Preparation

Bulky bathtubs often conceal hidden water leaks. Once extracted, we thoroughly inspect the floor joists, remove any mold or dry rot, and reinforce your subfloor with clean plywood.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our bathroom remodeling services.

How heavy is a standard bathtub and how do you remove it?

An old cast iron bathtub typically weighs between 250 and 400 pounds. To extract it safely without destroying your bathroom walls, we often use specialized diamond saw blades to cut the heavy tub into two manageable pieces. We then carry the sections out on protected heavy duty dollies.

What happens to the old tub after it is removed?

We handle all hauling, loading, and disposal as part of our comprehensive service. We transport the old fiberglass or metal tub directly to a local recycling or waste management facility in Chandler, leaving your home completely clean and free of heavy construction debris.

Will removing a bathtub require major plumbing changes?

Yes, removing a tub generally requires capping the low water lines and capping off the waste drain. If you are converting the space into a shower, we will relocate the drain line and expand the plumbing line from a standard one and a half inch tub pipe to a high flow two inch shower pipe.

How long does a standard tub removal take?

The physical extraction of a bathtub takes between two and four hours of careful work. If we are repairing the subfloor, replacing corroded framing, or capping pipes, the complete site preparation takes one full day.

Do you protect my home from dust during demolition?

Yes, we seal off the bathroom doorways using heavy plastic zip walls and set up negative air scrubbers. This keeps fine drywall dust, plaster, and fiberglass particles from escaping into your clean living spaces.
