A Local Story About a Bathtub That Leaked
A family in East Windsor once called Leo Construction Services, LLC after their old tub started leaking behind the wall. They thought it was just a small drip, but mold had started growing under the tile. The homeowner said, “We didn’t even know until the smell got bad.” Our team removed the old tub, replaced the damaged wall, and installed a new deep-soaking tub with proper drainage. That job reminded us how a well-done bathtub installation protects more than just your bathroom. It protects your whole home.
What Happens During a Bathtub Installation
A bathtub installation isn’t just putting in a new tub. It starts with removing the old one, inspecting the plumbing, checking the floor for water damage, and picking the right size and fit. At Leo Construction Services, LLC, we install all types of tubs, from simple alcove units to big soaking tubs. Every install is measured twice and checked for a tight seal before we finish the job.
Choosing the Right Tub for Your Bathroom
East Windsor homes have many different layouts. Some have small bathrooms, others have large open ones. The right bathtub depends on your space, needs, and who will use it. For example, older adults may want a walk-in tub. Families with small kids often pick a low-height tub for easy access. Leo Construction Services, LLC can help you pick the right model based on your lifestyle.
Tub Styles We Install in East Windsor
- Alcove bathtubs
- Freestanding tubs
- Drop-in bathtubs
- Corner tubs
- Walk-in tubs
- Whirlpool and jetted tubs
- Cast iron and acrylic tubs
Each has pros and cons. A cast iron tub lasts long, but it’s heavy. An acrylic tub is easy to clean and quicker to install. We’ll talk you through every option during the planning phase.
Tub Installation and Safety: What You Might Not Know
If a bathtub isn’t level, it can cause long-term leaks. If the drain isn’t sealed right, mold can build up. Our crew uses tools like laser levels and water pressure tests to make sure everything is solid. You won’t see these steps in DIY tutorials, but they’re what keeps your bathroom safe and working.
Accessibility Features for Bathtub Installations
Many East Windsor homeowners ask us about safety upgrades. We install grab bars, non-slip surfaces, and even handheld showerheads. Some clients want benches built into the wall. These features help families stay safe, especially when bathing kids or older relatives.
When Is the Right Time to Replace Your Bathtub?
Here are common signs you may need a new tub:
- Chipped or stained finish
- Leaks or water damage under the tub
- Mold smell that won’t go away
- Tub feels unstable or soft underfoot
If you see any of these signs, call Leo Construction Services, LLC for a visit. We’ll give you honest advice based on what we see.
Tub Material Options and What They Mean
Most people don’t think about what the tub is made of. But it matters. Fiberglass is light and cheap but scratches easier. Acrylic is affordable, strong, and easy to clean. Cast iron is heavy but lasts decades. We talk through each option based on your floor strength, usage, and cleaning habits.
