New Tubs Installed Right the First Time

Code-compliant bathtub installation services for remodels and replacements in Marble Falls, Texas

Replacing a worn-out tub or adding a new one during a remodel requires more than setting the fixture in place and turning on the water. In Marble Falls, where older homes often have non-standard framing or outdated plumbing, proper installation means connecting drain and overflow assemblies to code, leveling the tub to prevent standing water, and sealing every joint to protect the subfloor and walls from moisture intrusion.


Marble Falls Plumbing LLC installs new bathtubs as part of bathroom remodels or when replacing a fixture that no longer functions or fits your needs. We handle the plumbing connections, including water supply lines, drain and overflow assemblies, and trap installation, and we level and secure the tub according to manufacturer specifications. This work ensures the fixture drains completely, seals properly, and performs without leaks or movement for years after installation.


If you plan to replace your current tub or install a new one in Marble Falls, contact us to discuss your project and schedule the installation.

How We Install Your Bathtub

We begin by measuring the rough-in dimensions and inspecting the existing plumbing and framing in your Marble Falls bathroom. You will see us remove the old tub if one is present, check the subfloor for damage, and verify that supply lines and drain connections align with the new fixture. We dry-fit the tub to confirm placement, then connect the drain, overflow, and water lines before securing the unit and testing for leaks.


After installation, the tub sits level, drains completely without pooling, and shows no signs of movement when weight is applied. Water flows smoothly from the faucet, the drain operates without backup, and all seals remain dry during use. The fixture functions as intended and integrates cleanly with the surrounding tile, walls, and flooring.


We use code-compliant drain assemblies, flexible supply lines rated for residential use, and leveling shims to achieve proper pitch. If your bathroom layout requires modifications to accommodate the new tub, we explain what changes are needed and how they affect the timeline. We do not handle tile work, drywall finishing, or structural framing, but we coordinate with other trades to ensure the plumbing work aligns with the overall remodel schedule.

We Know This Raises Some Questions

People often ask how long installation takes, what happens if the plumbing does not line up, and whether they need to do anything before we arrive. These are the answers based on what we see most often.


  • What does bathtub installation include? We connect the drain and overflow assemblies, attach the water supply lines, level and secure the tub, and test the entire system for leaks and proper drainage. You provide the fixture, and we handle the plumbing and positioning.
  • How long does a bathtub installation take? Most installations finish in four to six hours, depending on whether we remove an old tub, make adjustments to existing plumbing, or work around non-standard framing. We give you a time estimate after inspecting the space.
  • What happens if the drain location does not match the new tub? We adjust the drain assembly and reposition the trap to align with the new fixture. This may require cutting into the subfloor or rerouting pipes, which we explain and price before starting the work.
  • Do you install all types of bathtubs? We install alcove tubs, drop-in tubs, and freestanding models in Marble Falls homes. If your tub requires specialized mounting hardware or structural support beyond standard framing, we let you know during the estimate.
  • Can you install a tub if the bathroom is not finished yet? Yes, we coordinate with your remodel timeline and complete the rough-in and final connections at the appropriate stages. We work around framing, drywall, and tile installation as needed.


A properly installed bathtub drains completely, seals against moisture intrusion, and functions without leaks or movement for the life of the fixture.
