The bathroom is one of the most essential and overlooked rooms in the entire house. Your bathroom serves as a place to relax, as well a place that jumpstarts your day. A moldy, damp smell simply does not fit into the aesthetics of a bathroom. But it’s what you’ll get if your bathtub is leaking.
Your bathtub can be a freestanding tub, a shower/tub combination or one that is built into an alcove, with three sides. A regular sized tub is around five-feet long, while you can find sizes up to seven-feet; in various depths.
Typically, cast irons are seen as the best due to their durability. However, these are exceptionally heavy; fiberglass and acrylic offer lighter options for your bathroom rebuild.
Your tub will vary in shape, size, jet-type and even color, amongst many other facets. The plumbing however, will have two drain exits. One will lead to the opening of the main drain while the other controls the overflow drain opening.
Different mechanisms are required for the two exits. Your tub features either the pop-up or the plunger system; both work through a lever near the overflow drain. The plunger system features a hollow plunger made of brass which slides up and down to seal the drain. A pop-up mechanism, on the other hand, makes use of a rocker arm which engages the linkage and moves the stopper up and down.

I got quotes from five different plumbers. Not only were they the least expensive, but they took the time to walk me through everything, so I truly understood the cost estimate. They arrived right on time and completed the work as promised. Now for the part that sounds like make-believe; the final cost was less than the original estimate. I kid you not!
