Our team specializes in full tub removal and installation, and we bring the same attention to detail to every project regardless of home size or bathroom layout.

What’s Included in Our Bathtub Replacement Services
When you hire My Bath Guy for bathtub replacement in Hershey, you get a complete, managed process with no corners cut. We handle everything from the initial removal to the final plumbing check so you do not have to coordinate multiple contractors.
Safe Removal of Your Existing Tub
We carefully disconnect and remove your old bathtub, including any attached surround panels, caulking, and tile trim. Our crew takes care to protect your bathroom flooring and adjacent walls during this phase. We haul away all old materials so your home stays clean throughout the project.
Plumbing Inspection and Connection
Before installing the new tub, we inspect your existing drain and supply lines for corrosion or damage. Homes in older Hershey neighborhoods sometimes have aging plumbing that can cause issues if not caught early. We make all necessary connections to code and confirm proper drainage before moving forward.
New Tub Installation and Finishing
We install your new tub level and secure, then apply fresh caulking and finish work around the edges for a clean, watertight result. If you are opting for a new surround or tile walls, those are completed as part of the same project visit. The finished product looks polished and functions correctly from day one.

Signs You Need Bathtub Replacement In Your Hershey Bathroom
Not every bathtub issue calls for a full replacement, but there are clear signs that a repair is no longer worth the cost. Hershey homeowners often reach out to us when their tub has reached a point where patching or refinishing is no longer a practical solution.
Cracks, Chips, or Structural Damage
A cracked tub is more than an eyesore. Cracks allow water to seep into the subfloor and surrounding walls, leading to mold growth and rot. Once a fiberglass or acrylic tub develops a structural crack, replacement is almost always the right call.
Age and Outdated Materials in Older Hershey Homes
Many homes near downtown Hershey and in established neighborhoods were built in the 1950s through 1970s with cast iron or steel tubs that are now past their useful life. These older tubs can develop rust spots, enamel flaking, and drain problems that are difficult to correct without full replacement. If your tub is decades old and showing its age, a new installation makes more sense than continued repairs.
Accessibility and Safety Concerns
Standard tubs with high sides can become a serious safety risk for older adults or anyone with limited mobility. Many Hershey homeowners choose bathtub replacement as an opportunity to install a walk-in option or convert the space into a walk in shower installation that is easier and safer to use. A bathtub to shower conversion is a popular option for Hershey households looking to improve accessibility without a full bathroom overhaul.
If any of these situations sound familiar, it is worth getting a professional opinion before the problem worsens or causes additional damage to your home.
Our Bathtub Replacement Process for Hershey Homes
Schedule Your Consultation
Getting started is straightforward. Call our team or fill out our online form and we will set up a time to visit your Hershey home at your convenience. During that first call, we ask a few basic questions about your existing setup so we can come prepared.
Assess Your Bathroom Layout and Current Plumbing
At the consultation, we take measurements, check plumbing access, and identify any potential issues behind the walls or under the floor. This step is especially important in older Hershey homes where the bathroom layout may present specific challenges. We use this assessment to build an accurate, detailed quote with no hidden costs.
Remove the Old Tub and Install the Replacement
On installation day, our crew arrives on time, protects your floors and adjacent surfaces, and gets to work removing the old tub. We install the new unit securely, connect all plumbing, and complete finish work including caulking and trim. For homeowners who want to maximize the project, we can also discuss options for a bathroom shower remodel during this phase.
Final Inspection and Walkthrough
Before we pack up, we run a full functional test on the drain, faucet, and overflow to make sure everything works as expected. We walk you through the finished installation and answer any questions you have about care and maintenance. Your bathroom should be fully ready to use by the time we leave.
