He wanted to replace the existing drop in bathtub with a freestanding bathtub.

Remove the current brown color scheme completely
Use white and gray tones to give a clean and fresh feel
Replace his outdated bathtub with a large soaker tub for two
Philip purchased his magnificent custom 2 story estate in a beautiful Las Vegas private neighborhood. Immaculate landscape sitting on .64 acres, large pool with spa, game room and a 1,500 bottle wine room. This 4 bed, 7 bath, 7,193 sq ft. home was outdated but had tons of Italian charm.

Bathroom Renovation with Bathtub
Many of our customers want to remove their old-fashioned undermount bathtubs with a contemporary and timeless freestanding bathtub. Why?
Well for starters they are old and creaky. The majority of these bathtubs were installed when the house was built. Materials deteriorate over time causing leaks.
Aesthetics plays a huge role in deciding whether to upgrade your bathtub. A freestanding bathtub presents a centerpiece for your bathroom. It becomes the focal point of beauty and creates a quaint home spa sanctuary.
Tips for Bathroom Remodels
Fix what doesn’t work first. Create a checklist of the top priority changes that need to be made first.
We strongly suggest using a licensed plumber. Although our bathtubs are easy to install and we provide step by step instructions – we always advice hiring a professional.
