New Bathtubs Installed for Comfort, Style and Everyday Use

Need a new bathtub installed in Murphy, TX? VIP Services removes old tubs and installs freestanding, alcove, drop-in and undermount bathtubs—along with the valves, drains, framing, waterproofing and tile around them—for homes and commercial properties across Murphy. Our team serves Murphy from nearby Wylie and manages every step under one itemized price.

Murphy has a large share of family homes, with students attending both Plano ISD and Wylie ISD schools, and a bathtub is still a must-have in many of those households. Whether you are replacing a stained hall-bath tub, upgrading a 2000s garden tub to a sculptural freestanding model or adding a tub as part of a larger bathroom remodel in Murphy, we help you choose a tub that fits the room and the people using it.

How Do You Choose the Right Bathtub for Your Murphy Bathroom?

Start with the way the tub will be used. A tub for bathing young children needs a low, easy-to-reach rim and a durable surface. A tub for long soaks needs depth and a comfortable back angle. A tub in a secondary bath may need to double as the main shower. Then consider:

Available space: measured wall-to-wall, including door swing and access to the toilet and vanity
Water heater capacity: deep soaking tubs may need more hot water than an older tank provides
Floor structure: heavy tubs, especially cast iron or stone, may need additional support on upper floors

Our complimentary in-house designer can walk through options with you and show how each choice affects the itemized price.

Which Bathtub Styles Are Popular in Murphy Homes?

The style you choose shapes the rest of the room, from tile layout to plumbing location. Here is how the most common options compare:

Freestanding Tubs

A freestanding tub makes a statement in a primary suite. Floor- or wall-mounted fillers complete the look, and the open surround is easy to clean.

Clawfoot Tubs

Classic and charming, clawfoot tubs suit traditional or farmhouse designs and give older-style homes a timeless focal point.

Alcove Tubs

Set between three walls, alcove tubs are the go-to for hall and kids’ baths, and they pair naturally with a tiled shower surround.

Drop-In Tubs

Many Murphy primary baths built in the 2000s feature large drop-in garden tubs. Replacing one with a new drop-in lets you refresh the deck with modern tile or stone.

Undermount Tubs

Mounted beneath a solid deck, undermount tubs offer a clean edge with no rim to trap grime—a plus with hard water.

Which Bathtub Material Lasts the Longest?

Cast Iron and Enameled Steel

Extremely durable and heat-retaining, cast iron tubs are heavy and often require floor reinforcement. Enameled steel is lighter and more affordable but can chip.

Acrylic

Lightweight, warm to the touch and available in countless shapes, acrylic is the most common choice for alcove and drop-in tubs.

Stone Resin and Solid Surface

These composite materials have a matte, upscale look, hold heat well and resist staining, making them a favorite for freestanding tubs.

Where Should Your New Tub Go?

Placement affects comfort, cost and how the whole bathroom feels. We evaluate:

Whether existing drain and supply lines can serve the new location
Clearance around freestanding tubs for cleaning and access
Window placement and privacy
Where the filler or valve will sit so it is easy to reach
How the tub relates to the shower, vanity and lighting

For alcove replacements, we also inspect the wall framing and subfloor once the old tub is out. Leaks around aging tubs often go unnoticed for years, and fixing soft wood or damaged backer board now prevents bigger problems behind your new surround.

Relocating a tub may require moving plumbing through a slab or framing a new deck. Our project planner confirms what is involved before the price is final, so there are no mid-project surprises. If you would rather remove a tub altogether, see our tub-to-shower conversion services.

What Are the Most Important Factors When Choosing a New Bathtub?

Size and shape: Lie down in showroom models if you can; length, depth and back angle all affect comfort.
Maintenance: Smooth, non-porous surfaces and fewer seams are easier to keep clean of mineral residue.
Long-term use: Consider lower step-over heights, grab bars and slip-resistant bottoms if family members are aging or have mobility concerns.

How Do Bathtub Materials Compare Side by Side?

Cast iron: longest-lasting, best heat retention, heaviest
Acrylic: lightweight, affordable, easy to repair minor scratches
Enameled steel: budget-friendly, cooler to the touch, can chip on impact
Stone resin: premium appearance, warm and solid, higher cost
Fiberglass: lowest cost, shorter life span, better suited to rentals

The cost depends on the tub, any plumbing or framing changes and the surround or deck finishes. We provide itemized menu pricing so you can compare options before you decide.

A straightforward replacement can be completed in a few days, while tubs that require plumbing relocation, new framing or tile surrounds take longer. Your scheduler will confirm timing.

Our dedicated project planner takes care of all the details before we begin your kitchen remodeling project. She reviews and confirms material orders, schedules design appointments, and ensures that every selection is followed up on.

Help From Designers

With our kitchen remodeling services, you’ll benefit from the expertise of our complimentary in-house designer. They’ll meet you at your home to discuss your vision and preferences, and even join you when selecting materials and finishes from our suppliers. This personalized support ensures you make well-informed choices, so you can feel confident about your kitchen remodel.

In the Loop

Our dedicated full-time project scheduler will manage every aspect of your kitchen remodeling project. She ensures that all trades and workers are well-coordinated, keeping you informed throughout the process. Additionally, she will organize a kickoff call with the entire project team—our project scheduler, project planner, and project manager—before work begins. This call will address any questions or concerns, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and ready to proceed with a clear plan.

Guaranteed Pricing

For over 25 years, we’ve provided Itemized Detailed Estimates rather than a single lump sum. Our transparent estimates come with Menu Pricing, allowing you to choose what you need and remove what you don’t, so you always know exactly what you’re paying for.

Pre-Approved Changes

If you choose to add or modify anything during your kitchen remodeling project, we ensure that you receive a written change order for your approval before making any adjustments. This process guarantees that there are no unexpected costs or surprises at the end of your project. We prioritize transparency and client satisfaction—no hidden fees, no pressure.

3. Lien Waiver: To ensure you’re protected from paying twice for the same work, we provide a lien waiver. If a contractor doesn’t offer this, it’s easy to wonder what other important details might be missing.

Project Manager Assistance

Your VIP dedicated project manager will oversee your kitchen remodeling project with regular check-ins multiple times a week. They will liaise with trades, assess progress, and provide you with consistent updates to ensure everything stays on track. Expect weekly briefings on our progress, and the project manager will handle all necessary preparations for upcoming stages of your remodel.

On-Site Review

Before kicking off your kitchen remodeling project, we conduct a thorough pre-construction walk-through with you and your Project Manager. This on-site meeting allows us to review the complete scope of work, address any questions or concerns, and discuss practical details such as parking and preparation needs.

No Large Upfront Deposits

You won’t have to worry about sending a big check and wondering if someone will show up in a few weeks. We believe in making the process as easy as possible. You won’t need to make a substantial upfront deposit just to secure your spot on our schedule. While custom items do require payment when ordered, we don’t ask for large sums in advance.

In-House VIP Team
