Bathtub Installation in Bithlo

Expert Bathtub Installation for Bithlo Properties

Bithlo homeowners face unique challenges with bathtub installation due to the area's mix of 1970s-era single-family homes and mobile home communities. Properties in subdivisions like Bithlo Pines and near State Road 50 often have galvanized plumbing that requires special consideration during installation. Florida's year-round humidity and frequent rainstorms mean poor bathtub sealing can lead to mold and structural damage within months. Our bathtub installations in Bithlo include full waterproofing, proper ventilation setup, and code-compliant drain systems that pass Orange County inspections.

A complete bathtub installation in Bithlo takes 3-5 days from demolition to finished product, depending on plumbing relocation needs and wall prep. We remove your old tub, install new framing if required, run new PEX plumbing lines, set your new bathtub (acrylic, fiberglass, or cast iron), apply cement board and tile or surround panels, seal all edges with 100% silicone caulk, and test for leaks. Most Bithlo homes built before 1990 need reinforcement due to subfloor settling from the sandy, clay-heavy soil common in the area. Our crews bring dehumidifiers and fans to manage moisture during the 48-hour cure time, ensuring your new bathtub is ready to use without mold risk.

Our Bathtub Installation Process in Bithlo

1

Day 1: Demolition & Inspection

We turn off water supply, remove the old bathtub, surround, and any damaged drywall or tile. On Bithlo properties, we inspect the subfloor for water damage-common in homes near the Econlockhatchee River floodplain. Inspection takes 4-6 hours including documentation photos for your insurance if needed.

2

Day 2: Framing & Plumbing

If subfloor repair is needed, we reinforce with pressure-treated lumber and flashing. New supply lines (copper or PEX) and ABS drain line are run per Florida Building Code. This day typically takes 6-8 hours and includes a rough plumbing inspection appointment with Orange County.

3

Day 3-4: Waterproofing & Installation

Cement board is installed, sealed with RedGard waterproofing membrane, and your new bathtub is set and leveled. Tile, surround panels, or enclosure walls are framed and finished. Curing happens overnight with dehumidifiers running. By end of Day 4, tub is ready for final sealing.

4

Day 5: Finishing & Testing

Final caulking, grout sealing, and a full 24-hour leak test confirms zero water intrusion. We clean and inspect, and your new bathtub is ready. Total project time is 3-5 days depending on the complexity of your Bithlo home's existing plumbing.

Recent Project

Recent Bathtub Installation Project in Bithlo, Florida

In August 2023, we completed a bathtub installation for a 1,200 sq ft ranch home in the Bithlo Pines subdivision. The homeowner's original 1978 cast iron tub had rusted through at the drain, and the surrounding tile was loose due to water damage in the subfloor caused by Central Florida's high humidity. We installed a new 60-inch acrylic soaking tub with reinforced framing, ran new PEX supply lines, installed a new ABS drain, waterproofed the entire alcove with cement board and RedGard membrane, finished with porcelain tile and epoxy grout, and sealed all edges. Project took 4 days from start to finish, cost $4,200, and passed Orange County rough and final inspections on the first try.
