Can I Install My Own Bathtub?
When you’re in the process of planning your bathroom remodel, perhaps the thought of doing the project yourself has crossed your mind. After all, DIY projects can be challenging, fun, and rewarding in the end. But before you jump headfirst into such a major project on your own, it’s important to ask yourself some questions. This is a major undertaking, and it’s not something everyone can just put their effort into and do. Think about it: If you’re investing in a new bathtub, you should ask yourself “Can I install my own bathtub?” That question alone should give you some pause, as such an installation is difficult and often better left to the professionals. Let Jacuzzi Bath Remodel explain.
What Goes Into a Bathtub Installation?
If you’re replacing an old bathtub with a new one, the process is obviously going to begin with the removal of your old fixture. This is a process itself, as it involves turning off your water from the main line, turning on the faucet to drain all lines, removing accessories/disconnecting all lines, and then scraping up and removing the existing tub surround or tiles. From there, you’ll need access to the plumbing under your bathtub. Only then can you actually remove your old fixture completely.
All of that aside, the actual installation of your new bathtub follows. The tub should be dry-fitted to the space to ensure it’s going to line up in terms of where the drain and water lines need to be. Then comes the technical side of everything, which involves a ledger board, attaching the drain, connecting the overflow drain, and more. This all sets up the actual installation of your new bathtub, which takes a great deal of knowledge and skill itself.
What Can Go Wrong With a DIY Bathtub Installation?
As you might be able to tell by now, bathtub installation projects are a lot of work and take a great bit of skill. So, this isn’t a project you can just decide to do one day as a DIY endeavor. If you don’t have prior plumbing and installation experience, you could set yourself up for quite the disaster. Skipping any of the steps involved with this project or getting any of them wrong can make for plenty of problems, whether it’s a bad fit for the bathtub or something worse like a plumbing incident.
Why You’re Better Off Leaving Your Bathtub Installation to Professionals
Because of the expertise and attention to detail it takes for a bathtub installation to be done correctly, you’d be better served by partnering with a team of professionals for such a project. Not only will that help you achieve better results with your project, but you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy the process hands-off as well. Plus, everything should be completed far more efficiently when a team of experienced installers is taking care of the work.
