What goes into the price of a bathtub replacement in Madison, WI?

Replacing a tub is rarely just about the tub. Removing steel or cast iron, adding a handheld or glass doors, and updating the valve each change the scope, and the system you choose sets the look and the budget. Read the Wisconsin shower replacement cost guide for how those pieces fit together.

Your free in home consultation gives you an exact, personal price, accurate to the penny, and the price American Shower Company writes down is the price you pay.

Planning a bathtub replacement in Madison, WI is mostly about fit: the footprint you have, the look you want and who will be using the bathroom in ten years. This page covers the local housing picture, the options worth comparing, and exactly how American Shower Company runs the work.

Bathtub Replacement in Madison: the local picture

Madison has the newest housing we serve, so the job is rarely rot. It is usually a yellowed builder grade fiberglass shower or an unused corner whirlpool that becomes a walk in shower matching a well kept home. Madison is a longer drive from both offices, so we settle the choices in one consultation visit.

How American Shower Company does the work

We are a local shower and bath replacement company and we stand behind every job. You are not handed off to a subcontractor. Every job follows the same disciplined process:

Choosing the right tub and surround

A Samuel Mueller bathtub is made from a solid stone like material. Samuel Mueller says it holds water temperature longer for a relaxing soak and resists chipping and cracking, and the seamless, nonporous surface gives mold, mildew and stains nowhere to settle. For the walls around the tub, Premium Samuel Mueller Systems offer solid surface panels and Signature BathWraps® Systems offer nonporous acrylic walls with Silver Ion antimicrobial protection, a lighter and more economical option in marble, simulated tile and textured looks. Older homes here often still have fiberglass that has cracked or porcelain enameled steel that has chipped and rusted. American Shower Company sets the new tub in your existing three wall alcove with its own employees, usually in one day.

Frequently asked questions

Are there hidden costs in a bathtub replacement?

Not with American Shower Company. The price is accurate to the penny, and what we write down is what you pay. If the installers open the wall and find something unexpected, such as a failing drain, they stop and explain it before any added work is done, so you decide.

What kind of bathtubs does American Shower Company install?

We install Samuel Mueller alcove bathtubs, made from a solid stone like material, and pair them with wall surrounds from either Premium Samuel Mueller Systems or Signature BathWraps® Systems. An alcove tub is designed to sit inside a three wall enclosure, which is the layout in most hall and guest bathrooms, so it uses space efficiently and does not require moving walls.

Should I refinish my old tub instead of replacing it?

Refinishing paints over the problem. It can freshen a sound tub for a while, but it does not fix cracks, rust at chipped enamel, soft spots in fiberglass or a leaking drain, and the coating wears again. A replacement removes the old tub and the old surround together, and the new one is covered by our Lifetime Warranty and Workmanship Guarantee.

Can I finance a new bathtub?

Yes. Financing is available through American Shower Company. Interest free plans are available for those who qualify, with no dealer service fees or points added on the back end.

Does a solid surface tub really keep water warmer?

Samuel Mueller says so. Its tubs are made from a solid stone like material, and the manufacturer states that the material holds water temperature longer for a more relaxing soak and resists chipping and cracking. Your designer can show you the tub and the wall options side by side during the consultation.

Can I keep a tub but still have a good shower?

Yes. Most tubs we install also serve as the household shower. We can add a Samuel Mueller valve, a fixed head or handheld, and a sliding glass door so the space works for both quick showers and long soaks. Fixture choices include push button controls in polished chrome, brushed nickel or matte black.

How long does a bathtub replacement take?

Most take one day when the new tub fits the existing alcove. Krzysztof O. described an install where the crew hit a problem with the tub on arrival, "went all the way back to get the right one," and "still finished the job before dinner." Jobs that include new plumbing or wall repairs can run longer, and you will know that before work starts.

Who actually installs the tub?

Our own employees, not subcontractors. They are trained on the systems we install, which is why American Shower Company backs every installation with its workmanship guarantee. Terri R. wrote that her crew was "pleasant, respectful of the property, patient when addressing questions and concerns."

What do Madison homeowners usually replace?

Newer showers more often than old tubs. Madison has the youngest housing we serve, so the common project is a yellowed builder grade fiberglass stall or an unused corner whirlpool. Many owners choose Monterey marble looks or Pioneer tile looks from Premium Samuel Mueller Systems, or a Signature BathWraps® System, to match a well kept home.

How far is Madison from American Shower Company?

Madison is about 60 miles from our Waukesha location and about 97 miles from our Appleton office, and it is part of the service area listed on our own site. The installers are our own employees, the same ones who work in the Fox Valley, and the price is accurate to the penny.

How hard is Madison's water?

Very hard. Madison Water Utility pumps groundwater from deep wells and states that its water contains 18 to 20 grains of hardness per gallon. Hardness at that level leaves scale on grout, glass and valve trim within weeks, so a nonporous wall system with no grout lines, in Samuel Mueller solid surface or BathWraps® acrylic, and the Samuel Mueller Forever Valve, which the manufacturer says resists calcium buildup, are practical choices rather than luxuries in a Madison bathroom.
