FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

Melbourne homeowners often have questions about bathtub installation. Here are detailed answers to help you prepare for your bathroom upgrade.

Q. How long does bathtub installation take?

Standard bathtub installations typically take 4-6 hours including old tub removal, plumbing connections, and testing. Freestanding tubs or those requiring floor reinforcement may take 6-8 hours. Complex spa bath installations can require multiple days.

Q. Do you remove old bathtubs?

Yes, we handle complete removal and disposal of existing bathtubs. This includes careful disconnection to avoid damage, protecting floors and walls during removal, and responsible disposal following EPA guidelines. Cast iron tubs require special handling due to weight.

Q. Can you install a bathtub where there wasn't one?

Absolutely! We regularly convert shower-only bathrooms or create new bathroom spaces. This involves installing drainage with proper falls, running hot and cold water supplies, ensuring adequate floor support, and coordinating waterproofing with other trades.

Q. What's included in your bathtub installation service?

Our service includes old tub removal if required, new tub positioning and levelling, all plumbing connections, overflow and waste installation, waterproofing checks, pressure testing, and complete cleanup. We also provide compliance certification and operation instructions.

Q. How do I prepare for bathtub installation?

Clear the bathroom of personal items, ensure clear access paths for tub delivery, and arrange alternative bathroom facilities for installation day. We’ll protect floors and fixtures, but removing valuable items provides extra peace of mind.

Douglas Richter

We had one of those intermittent bugs in our home electrical distribution. Aden was cool and professional and explained his diagnostic process as he went along. After making some alterations in the meter box and replacing some out of date circuit breakers we are confident that the problem has been addressed. I have no hesitation in recommending this business.

Daniel and Elie were really good. Arrived as advised, polite, friendly and neat and tidy. Did a great job at a fair price. Gave a quote before starting which took the worry out of the process. Cleaned up and ensured all was well with us before leaving. Would highly recommend.
