Bathtub Installation Services in Orlando, Florida
Whether you live in the newer subdivisions around Lake Nona and Hunters Creek or established neighborhoods near downtown Orlando, a worn bathtub drains both your home's appeal and your comfort. Renovating Central Florida LLC removes your old tub-properly managing water damage and structural concerns-and installs a new bathtub in fiberglass, acrylic, cast iron, or luxury stone materials. Our Orlando-based team handles permits, plumbing connections, caulking, and tile integration so your bathroom remodel is complete, not halfway done.
The bathtub installation process begins with an on-site assessment at your home in Orlando, Oviedo, Winter Springs, or Maitland to measure rough-in dimensions and check for plumbing compatibility. We then remove your existing tub in 2-4 hours, inspect the subfloor and walls for water damage or mold, and make structural repairs if needed. Next, we install the new bathtub with proper slope for drainage, connect supply and drain lines to code, apply waterproof membrane around the tub surround, and finish with caulk and trim. Final inspection and cleanup typically occur on day 2 or 3, leaving your bathroom ready for use.

Our Bathtub Installation Process
Free On-Site Estimate and Planning
Our team visits your Orlando, Altamonte Springs, or Winter Park home to measure the rough-in, assess plumbing location, check for structural damage, and discuss bathtub material and style options. This consultation takes 30-45 minutes and includes detailed pricing and timeline.
Old Bathtub Removal and Prep
We disconnect water supply, remove drain components, cut and remove the old tub in sections if needed, and haul away all debris. We then inspect and repair the subfloor and walls, applying new backer board and waterproof membrane as required. This step takes 4-6 hours on day one.
New Bathtub Installation and Plumbing
Our licensed plumbers position the new bathtub, check level and slope, connect hot and cold water supply lines with shut-off valves, and install the drain assembly to code. We secure the tub with foam support and epoxy adhesive to prevent shifting. Installation takes 3-5 hours on day two.
Surround, Caulk, and Finish Work
We install tile, drywall, or acrylic surround panels around the tub, apply waterproof sealant at all seams, grout tile if applicable, and caulk the junction between tub and wall. Final cleanup and testing occurs on day two or three.
