Planning a bathtub replacement in Wausau, 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.
Wausau anchors our Central Wisconsin service area, and accessibility comes up in most consultations here. The typical call is a long time homeowner who wants to stay in an older house, which is the case for a low threshold walk in shower with a fold down seat and grab bars.
American Shower Company measures your project and gives you a clear written estimate at no cost.
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:
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.
American Shower Company works across the Wausau area, including:
Recent shower and bath installs our own employed installers completed near Wausau, listed nearest town first. The towns and months come straight from the crew's own job photos, so every line is a real home our team worked in.
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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wausau has many long time homeowners who want to keep living in their houses, and the bathroom is where that decision gets made. That is why low threshold walk in showers, grab bars and fold down seats come up in most Wausau consultations.
Yes, because it is indoor work. Wausau winters are the coldest of our markets, so appointments are planned around the forecast so the crew can reach the house, and the old fixtures leave through a protected path to the door.
Fairly soft for Wisconsin. Wausau Water Works pumps from municipal wells near the Wisconsin River, and Wisconsin DNR samples from January 2026 show total hardness of 64 mg/L, under 4 grains per gallon. Soft water is easier on fixtures, so in Wausau the bigger reasons to replace a shower are age, grout failure and safety.
American Shower Company is a bathtub replacement company serving Wausau, with its own employees usually finishing the job in one day when the new tub fits the existing alcove. Wausau's housing is older than most of the state, so original plumbing and heavy cast iron tubs are common, and removing one, adding shower fixtures and a glass door, or replacing the valve and drain are what change the scope most. Samuel Mueller solid surface tubs fit the three wall alcove found in most Wisconsin bathrooms, and the surround can be Premium Samuel Mueller solid surface or Signature BathWraps® acrylic, depending on your look and budget. Every project carries our Lifetime Warranty and Workmanship Guarantee, the free in home consultation ends with an exact price, accurate to the penny, and interest free financing is available for those who qualify.
