Chipped enamel, a rusting steel tub or a colour that dates the whole room: we take the old tub out and fit a new acrylic one inside the same alcove, typically in one day, for homeowners from Lewis Center to Westerville and Delaware.
Porcelain-on-steel tubs in older homes around Worthington and downtown Delaware rust outward from every chip, and touch-up kits rarely last a season.
Stains That Will Not Lift
Once the glaze wears through, minerals from hard water and well water stain the surface itself, so no cleaner brings it back.
A Cold, Uncomfortable Soak
Steel and cast iron pull heat out of the water quickly, which you notice on a February evening. Acrylic keeps a bath warmer for longer.
A Colour From Another Decade
Almond, bone and pastel tubs date a bathroom instantly. A white or neutral acrylic tub resets the whole room.

How It Is Different
Replaced Without Tearing Up the Room
A traditional tub replacement means stripping tile, opening walls and living with a torn-up bathroom for a week or more. Because our acrylic tubs are made to fit your existing alcove, that is not necessary. The old tub is cut out and removed, the plumbing is reconnected in place, and the new tub and surround go in the same day. In most Lewis Center and Powell homes the bathroom is usable again that evening.
01
No dumpster in the driveway
Everything leaves with our crew, which also keeps HOA-managed subdivisions happy.
02
Your drywall stays intact
Working inside the existing opening means no patching, no retiling and no painter to book afterwards.
03
A price that holds
You get a fixed written quote after we measure. If there is damage behind the old tub, we show you before anything changes.
We measure the alcove, check the floor beneath the old tub for soft spots, and note anything that affects the price, all at no cost.
02
Choose Your Tub
Pick your tub style, surround pattern and fixture finish from samples we bring to your home.
03
Replacement Day
The old tub comes out, the subfloor is checked, and the new tub and surround are installed, usually inside one working day.
04
Final Check
We test the drain and seals with you and leave care instructions and your written warranty.
Year One
No chips, no rust

Built to Last
A Tub That Outlasts the Last One
Enamel is a thin glass coating over metal. Chip it and rust follows; wear it thin and stains set in, and neither can be properly repaired. Acrylic is coloured all the way through and reinforced underneath, so it does not chip down to bare metal and does not turn porous with age. For many homeowners it is the last tub the bathroom needs.
Answers for homeowners replacing a tub anywhere from Lewis Center to Delaware and Westerville.
01
Can you remove a cast-iron tub from an upstairs bathroom?
Yes. Cast-iron tubs are common in older homes around Worthington, Clintonville and downtown Delaware and can weigh 300 pounds or more. We break them down safely inside the bathroom and carry them out in pieces, so your stairs and walls are protected.
02
Is refinishing my tub cheaper than replacing it?
Refinishing costs less up front, but the sprayed coating typically wears or peels within a few years, especially with hard water and daily use. A new acrylic tub is the longer-term fix, which is why many local homeowners replace after one refinish has already failed.
03
Will a new tub fit my 1990s Lewis Center home?
Almost always. Homes built during the area’s 1990s and 2000s growth mostly use standard alcove sizes, and we measure your exact space before ordering. If your alcove is non-standard, we tell you at the consultation, not on install day.
04
What happens if there is water damage under my old tub?
We stop and show you before doing anything else. Slow leaks around old tubs are common, especially where caulk has failed. You get a written price for the repair, and the new tub only goes in once the floor is solid.
05
Do you replace tubs in Columbus and Franklin County too?
Yes. We serve everywhere within 75 miles of Lewis Center, OH 43035, which includes Columbus, Worthington, Dublin, Westerville and the surrounding Franklin County suburbs, as well as all of Delaware County.
06
How long will we be without a bathtub?
For a standard alcove replacement, usually just the day of installation. We start in the morning, and in most homes the bathroom is usable again that evening. We confirm timing for your specific home during the consultation.
