Bathtub Remodeling & Replacement in the Capital Region
Home – Bathtub Remodeling & Replacement
A bathtub remodel removes your old tub and installs a new one in the same footprint — a new tub, an acrylic wall system or custom tile surround. Moore Done Right starts with a full tear-out, then installs all-new plumbing. Qualifying acrylic wet-area projects start at $8,500, and your price is in writing before work starts.

Replace a worn, stained or hard-to-clean bathtub with a new tub in the same footprint — or rethink the wet area — with a design that fits your room and daily routine. At Moore Done Right, a bathroom and shower specialist, we provide bathtub remodeling and replacement in Albany and the Capital Region, with a new tub and an acrylic wall system or custom tile surround selected for your space. Thinking of removing the tub instead? Explore our tub-to-shower conversion service.
A bathtub replacement begins with a review of the existing tub, wall surround, plumbing and available space. We discuss what is not working for you, including cleaning, staining, entry height, depth and the location of controls. The old tub and surround are removed in a full tear-out, then the framing, plumbing and subfloor are inspected so hidden damage can be addressed before the new tub is installed. Your written scope explains the selected materials and installation work; repairs outside that scope are discussed before additional charges are approved.
A bathtub should fit the person using it — the right height and depth, a comfortable place to soak, and controls that are easy to reach. Choose a standard-depth tub, a deeper soaking tub, or a layout that makes entry easier, with a handheld shower and securely installed grab bars where they help. For easier entry and practical support, see our aging-in-place options and real Selkirk project. Depth, entry height, drainage, waterproofing and the existing structure all affect the options, so feasibility is checked before it is promised.
Helping a parent plan a bathtub remodel? Tell us the project location and who should be involved in the consultation and decisions. We review your preferred layout, materials and features together, along with the practical limits of the room. Acrylic panels offer a low-maintenance finish; custom tile offers different patterns, layouts and design details. Compare MDR acrylic systems and custom tile surrounds.
A bathtub replacement can refresh the wet area while limiting the scope of work elsewhere in the bathroom. A new tub, surround, plumbing, fixtures and storage are installed as part of the written wet-area scope, after a full tear-out of the old wet area — not as a cover over the old tub. A replacement tub also outlasts a temporary reglaze, which only coats the worn surface. Smooth wall panels simplify routine cleaning. Proper waterproofing, sealed joints, ventilation and regular care still matter. Installation timing depends on materials, plumbing and the conditions uncovered during removal. Your project schedule is confirmed after measurements and selections.
Bathtub replacement cost depends on the complete written scope. The total depends on the tub and surround you choose, the plumbing included, any repairs found after tear-out, and the finishes around the wet area. Qualifying acrylic wet-area projects from $8,500. Tile surrounds are priced by scope, so there is no acrylic starting price for a tile surround. Published package prices and the complete included scope are listed in our bathroom and shower remodel cost guide — compare options there, then request a written estimate.
All-new plumbing is included as standard: Uponor PEX supply lines, a new Delta valve and a new drain from the trap back.
A tub-only project has a different scope from a full bathroom renovation. Ask which demolition, plumbing, waterproofing, home protection and cleanup are included. Measurements and site conditions are reviewed before the estimate is finalized. Ask us to separate must-have features from optional upgrades so you can compare the choices clearly.

Cost depends on the complete written scope — the tub and surround you choose, the plumbing included, any repairs found after tear-out, and the finishes around the wet area. Qualifying acrylic wet-area projects from $8,500. Tile surrounds are priced by scope, so there is no acrylic starting price for a tile surround. Final pricing follows in-home measurement, product selections and written scope, and you receive a written estimate before work starts.
Most bathtub replacements are completed in a few days, depending on the tub and surround, plumbing, repairs found after tear-out, and any setting or curing time. Ask whether your project qualifies for one-day installation; timing depends on the kind of materials used, site conditions and the level of disruption your household can handle. We confirm the schedule in your written scope before work starts.
Keep a bathtub if you want a place to bathe, soak or bathe children, or if a future buyer may want a tub. Convert to a shower if the high tub step is difficult, you rarely bathe, or you want easier entry and a walk-in shower. If you are deciding, ask during your free in-home consultation — we will review how you use the room before recommending either option.
Yes. All-new plumbing is included as standard: Uponor PEX supply lines, a new Delta valve and a new drain from the trap back. The old tub and surround are removed first, so the framing and subfloor can be checked and any hidden damage addressed in your written scope.
Often, yes. A bathtub replacement focuses on the wet area — the tub and its surround — while keeping a vanity, toilet and finishes you like, where their condition and layout allow. A full bathroom remodel is a separate scope if you also want to change the floor, vanity, lighting or layout.
No. Moore Done Right does not offer reglazing or refinishing. A reglaze is a temporary coating over a worn tub, while a replacement installs a new tub and surround after a full tear-out, with all-new plumbing included as standard. If your tub is worn, stained or hard to clean, a replacement is the longer-lasting option.
