Bathtub Installation FAQ
Common questions about bathtub installation in Kent
How heavy is a cast iron bathtub?
A cast iron tub weighs 250-400 lbs empty. Filled with water and a person, that's 600-900 lbs. We always check floor joist capacity before installing cast iron. If reinforcement is needed, we handle that too.
What surround options work with a new bathtub?
Three main options: acrylic surround panels ($200-$600, installed same day), tile surround ($1,500-$4,000, takes 2-3 extra days), or solid surface panels ($800-$1,500). For Kent home value, tile gives the best return.
Can you install a deeper tub in the same space?
Usually yes — most alcove tubs share the same 60×30 or 60×32 footprint. Deeper soaking tubs fit the same space but hold more water. We verify drain clearance and water heater capacity to make sure everything works together.
