Why Professional Bathtub Installation Matters
A bathtub sits on your subfloor, connects to your home's drain and water supply, and holds hundreds of gallons of water. One bad seal, one improperly sloped drain, or one loose supply connection can cause catastrophic water damage hidden behind walls and under floors for months.
Licensed plumbers ensure your tub is level, properly supported, watertight at every connection, and draining correctly — protecting your home from the kind of damage that DIY installs and handyman shortcuts leave behind.
Leak Prevention
Every joint sealed & tested under pressure
Subfloor Protection
Inspect, repair & waterproof before install
Code Compliance

Bathtub Installation FAQs
Common bathtub installation questions answered by our licensed plumbing experts serving Whatcom & Skagit Counties.
How much does a bathtub installation cost?
A standard alcove tub replacement runs $800–$2,500 including labor. Freestanding or custom installs range $2,500–$6,000+ depending on plumbing modifications and tub style.
How long does a bathtub install take?
A straightforward tub swap takes 4–6 hours. If subfloor repair, drain rerouting, or custom plumbing is needed, it may take 1–2 full days. We provide exact timelines upfront.
Do you remove and dispose of the old tub?
Yes — every install includes full removal of your old bathtub, disconnection of all plumbing, and haul-away. We leave your bathroom clean and ready for the new tub.
Can you install a freestanding tub where an alcove was?
Absolutely. We reroute drain lines, add floor-mount or wall-mount filler plumbing, assess floor load capacity, and handle all the modifications needed for a clean install.
What if my subfloor is damaged under the old tub?
We inspect the subfloor on every replacement. If there's rot or water damage, we repair or replace the affected sections before setting the new tub — preventing future problems.
Can you convert my bathtub to a walk-in shower?
Yes — we handle full tub-to-shower conversions including tub removal, drain rerouting, shower valve installation, pan & drain hookup, and all supply line modifications.
Do you install walk-in and ADA-compliant tubs?
Yes. We install all walk-in and accessibility tubs with low-threshold entry, grab bar coordination, fast-drain systems, anti-scald valves, and code-compliant connections.
Do you provide a warranty on bathtub installs?
Every LaVergne's bathtub installation comes with a written workmanship warranty. We stand behind every connection, seal, and drain hookup — if something leaks, we fix it.
What areas do you serve for bathtub installation?
We install bathtubs across all of Whatcom and Skagit Counties including Bellingham, Mount Vernon, Anacortes, Burlington, Sedro-Woolley, Ferndale, Lynden & surrounding areas.
