An old, cracked tub makes your whole bathroom look bad. We swap it out fast and clean. We've done this job in hundreds of San Jose homes, from Willow Glen to Evergreen.
Chips, cracks, and stains often mean a tub is done for. Many old homes in Willow Glen and Naglee Park have old cast iron tubs. These tubs get thin and the finish peels off. Soft flooring by the tub is a bad sign. It often means water has leaked under it for a while. Waiting lets the damage spread into the floor and frame below. A tub that fits right can stop water problems before they start.[1] We've swapped tubs in Almaden Valley homes for owners who wanted something easier to clean. One thing most folks don't know: soft flooring is often worse than it looks. We check it every time, even if it seems small.
Cracks let water get behind the tub wall. We pull it out and swap it before it rots.
Those old colored tubs from older San Jose homes are easy to swap for something new.
Some owners want more space, not a tub at all. We turn the space into a walk-in shower instead.
Lower-step tubs and grab bar spots make baths safer for older homeowners or anyone with joint pain.
If the floor feels soft, we check for rot and fix it before the new tub goes in.
Landlords and investors call us for fast, tough tub swaps that can take tenant wear and tear.
A leaking tub won't fix itself. The longer it sits, the more it damages the floor and walls. We move fast, handle plumbing and tile work together, and keep the job site clean the whole time. We've run this job hundreds of times across San Jose. Speed matters more than most folks think.

Here's what happens once you call us about your tub.
We come look at your tub and bathroom layout. You'll get a clear price and timeline before we book anything.
We pull the old tub out with care and check the floor and pipes underneath. Any damage gets fixed before the new tub goes in.
We set the new tub, hook up the pipes, and seal every edge. Then we clean up and show you the finished work.
Cost depends on the tub material.[1] We might match an acrylic tub and surround or use tile. It depends on what we find when the old tub comes out. Older homes in Willow Glen and Naglee Park sometimes need floor repair. That adds to the job cost. We give you a written price upfront so there are no surprises once we start. After years of jobs here, we've learned honesty about cost builds trust fast.
I rarely leave reviews, but the team at Zubr Construction did such an amazing job that I couldn't not write one.
They replaced all of our old carpet with stunning new laminate floors and painted the interior walls. The transformation is incredible! Their craftsmanship and attention to detail were top-notch, and they left the house spotless.
If you need flooring or painting, stop looking and call these guys. Highly recommended!
We had our full bathroom and powder room renovated, and two months later, I still love the result every single time I walk in.
The main bathroom was a complete gut job, including repairing walls damaged from old leaks. We went through a couple of unexpected hustles, but it was resolved and the timing re-negotiated. The team handled every challenge smoothly, they swapped out the old valve and managed to squeeze a pretty large bathtub through a tight entryway without a scratch.
The tilework around the tub and on the floor looks amazing. Our new vanity turned out to be a bit longer than expected, but they got it fitted into the space perfectly. They also installed new toilets, towel bars, and backlit mirrors in both rooms.
I’d definitely hire them again!
Here are answers to questions San Jose homeowners ask us a lot.
Most jobs cost between $1,800 and $6,500. The price depends on materials and what's under the tub. Older San Jose homes with hidden water damage may cost more to fix right. We give you a firm price after a free chat, so you know the cost before we start.
A normal swap takes one to two days. If we find floor damage or need to move pipes, it can take longer. We'll tell you the real timeline before work starts, not after.
You can try, but tubs are heavy. Pipes need to be hooked up right the first time. A bad seal causes leaks you won't notice until there's damage behind the wall. We've fixed many DIY jobs that went wrong around San Jose. Our honest advice? Call a pro for this one.
It depends on how you use your bathroom and who lives in your home. Families with kids often keep a tub. Others like the extra room a shower gives. We'll walk you through both choices during your free chat.
It's more urgent than most people think. A crack lets water get behind the tub wall and into the floor below. Once that starts, fixes get bigger and cost more. We've seen small cracks turn into big floor jobs in older San Jose homes.
Look for cracks, a chalky finish, and soft flooring near the tub. Stains that won't scrub off are another sign. If your tub is as old as your Willow Glen or Naglee Park home, it's probably time to replace it.
Yes, we handle tile work along with the tub install. This keeps your whole bathroom looking put-together. It also means one crew, not three different contractors. That's less stress for you.
