Bathtub Replacement in Milwaukee: the local picture

Milwaukee is served from our Waukesha location, and it has the oldest homes we work in, with cast iron tubs, plaster walls and original drain lines in its bungalows and duplexes.

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

If your tub is stained, chipped or rusting around the drain, refinishing buys a few years at best. A replacement is a lasting answer: a Samuel Mueller solid surface tub that cleans easily and resists chips and cracks, with a wall surround in either Samuel Mueller solid surface or BathWraps® acrylic. Samuel Mueller alcove tubs fit the three wall space found in most Wisconsin bathrooms, and our own employees usually completes the job in one day.

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.

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."

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 much does bathtub replacement cost in Milwaukee, WI?

It depends on the old tub, the wall system and the fixtures you choose, so American Shower Company gives an exact figure at a free in home consultation rather than a guess. Removing a heavy steel or cast iron tub, adding shower fixtures and glass doors, and updating old plumbing all change the scope, and Premium Samuel Mueller Systems and Signature BathWraps® Systems give you options at different budgets. Our Wisconsin shower replacement cost guide explains each factor, and your price is accurate to the penny.

Which location serves Milwaukee homeowners?

Our Waukesha location at S17 W22655 Lincoln Ave serves Milwaukee, about 15 miles east of it, and can be reached at (414) 404 6730. Consultations are free, prices are accurate to the penny, and the work is done by our own employees rather than subcontractors, the same as in the Fox Valley.

Can you replace a cast iron tub in an old Milwaukee flat?

Yes. Milwaukee has the oldest housing we serve, and cast iron tubs in upper and lower flats are routine. The crew plans the route out of the building before the day starts, and a Samuel Mueller alcove tub or a Samuel Mueller or BathWraps® shower goes into the same space.

How hard is Milwaukee's water?

Moderately hard. Milwaukee Water Works treats Lake Michigan water and publishes a hardness of 137 mg/L, or 8.01 grains per gallon, with a range of 112 to 142 mg/L. That leaves mineral spots on glass and chrome over time. Samuel Mueller and BathWraps® walls are nonporous with no grout to hold scale, and the Forever Valve is designed by the manufacturer to resist calcium buildup.

Who replaces bathtubs in Milwaukee's older homes?

American Shower Company replaces bathtubs across Milwaukee from its Waukesha location, about 15 miles west of the city, with its own employees. Milwaukee has the oldest housing among the markets it serves, with prewar bungalows and duplexes on nearly every block. Those homes often still have a porcelain enameled steel or cast iron tub that chips and rusts, and lifting one out takes more hands and haul away time than a fiberglass unit. Older drains are worth replacing while the wall is open. The new tub is a Samuel Mueller solid surface alcove tub, with a wall surround from Premium Samuel Mueller Systems or Signature BathWraps® Systems, and the free in home consultation turns those choices into an exact price, accurate to the penny. Our Wisconsin shower replacement cost guide explains what moves the scope.
