Expert Bathtub Installation for Windermere Properties

Windermere's waterfront estates and upscale residential communities demand bathtub installations that combine durability with elegance. Many homes in neighborhoods like Windermere Hills and The Palms were built in the 1980s-1990s with original acrylic tubs that crack and fade under Florida's intense sun and humidity. Bill Morgan Inc. has installed over 400 bathtubs across Windermere, understanding local HOA requirements and the specific plumbing challenges of homes near Lake Butler and Windermere Park. We handle all permitting-Windermere requires a $75 plumbing permit for tub replacements-and coordinate directly with your HOA architectural review board when needed.

Our bathtub installation process for Windermere homes takes 2-3 days from removal to completion. We remove your existing tub, inspect the subfloor for water damage (common in older Windermere homes), install a waterproof cement board backing, and set a new soaking tub or walk-in configuration. We use only Kohler, American Standard, and Jacuzzi products, backed by manufacturer warranties of 10 years on acrylic and 15 years on cast iron. Most Windermere projects cost between $3,200-$7,800 depending on tub type, tile surround, and whether plumbing relocation is needed-many Windermere homes have offset drain locations that require minor repositioning.

Our Bathtub Installation Process in Windermere

1

Free In-Home Consultation and Estimate

We visit your Windermere home to assess your current bathtub, measure the space, review plumbing layout, and discuss your style preferences. This typically takes 30-45 minutes. We provide a written estimate including the Windermere $75 permit fee and any subfloor repairs needed.

2

Permit Filing and HOA Approval

Bill Morgan Inc. handles all Windermere building permits and submits architectural review requests to your HOA within 2 business days. Most approvals come back within 5-7 days. We ensure your new tub color, material, and surround meet community standards.

3

Removal and Prep Phase (Day 1)

Our team removes your existing tub, disconnects plumbing, and hauls away old materials. We inspect the subfloor for water damage and rotted wood-this is critical in Windermere homes built near the water table. Any damaged framing is noted and quoted separately. Prep takes 4-6 hours.

4

Installation and Finishing (Days 2-3)

We install waterproof backing, set your new bathtub level, connect all plumbing with PEX and copper lines, apply silicone caulk, and install tile surround if included. Final testing ensures zero leaks. Total installation takes 16-20 hours over two days. You can use the tub within 24 hours of caulk application.

Recent Project

Recent Bathtub Installation Project in Windermere, Florida

In March 2024, we completed a full bathtub replacement for a 2,800 sq. ft. home in Windermere Hills subdivision. The homeowner chose a 60-inch Kohler soaking tub with a tile surround upgrade to replace an original 1989 acrylic tub that had developed stress fractures and a slow leak affecting the subfloor below. We discovered rot in the rim joist and replaced 18 linear feet of pressure-treated framing before installing the new tub. The entire project-permits, removal, repairs, installation, and tile work-took 5 business days and cost $5,800. The new tub is backed by a 10-year warranty and has transformed the master bath experience for this lakeside property.
