"We had a bath redo. Took out the old tub and installed a walk-in shower with new fixtures. The result was finished in one day and everything was cleaned up and ready to go by days end. The installer was clean and neat and took care of all cleanup. We have used it for 4 months and very pleased. We also feel it was a safety upgrade as the walk in does not require a high step in and out and very comfortable. We would recommend this bath up grade."

No matter the brand we can service your appliances. Call us today and let us help you get back to your normal life without any hassle.
"I will update this review if (and that is a huge IF) my washing machine ever gets repaired. It has been almost a month without a washing machine. We have a special needs 12 year old and a toddler. Not having a washing machine is so ho*** ** us. Watson was selected as the repair company for a warranty claim. The technician came out to our house. We (foolishly) assumed that when a technician with a truck full of tools shows up...he is going to like...fix it? But no. He spent 5 minutes there. The only time he physically touched the washing machine was to reach in and spin the drum. "Bearing" he said. He then told is he isn't there to fix it. He was just there to look at it. The funny thing is how literal that was. He just looked. Barely touched. He also told us that the people on the phone often leave it up to him to deliver the bad news (that he is not fixing it that day). So he left and said someone would contact me. Nobody did. Eventually I got an email from UPS that some mystery packages were coming from a random address in Texas. A little googling told me it was appliance parts. Sweet. So I called to ask Watson about it. I was told that they usually don't schedule anything until the parts arrive. But she decided to schedule it anyway. So an appointment was made for 10 days out (Feb 16). I was sad because of how long it is taking, but it was also clear I had zero choice in the matter. So I accepted the date on the 16th at 2pm. Remember the part about me having zero choice? Boy, was I correct! Today they called me and said they have to change the date to Feb 24th because it is a half-day repair and requires two people. How did they not know this when they scheduled the first repair? It just shows disorganization & poor communication. Long story short, if you want your appliances fixed within a reasonable amount of time...I highly recommend against Watson appliance inc."

We offer leading solutions for bath and shower remodeling, including custom bath-wall systems, new bathtubs or tub to shower conversion, walk-in bathtubs, vanities, flooring and much more. We provide quality bath and shower remodeling at an affordable price.
"Bathroom wet space (tub) remodel with Five Star Baths went smoothly for the most part! The transformation is stunning! The quality of the work is exceptional—everything looks polished and feels durable. Communication was somewhat challenging. It was difficult to find a suitable time to connect and discuss the project in detail within my work hours and the hours they have available. Additionally, the final inspection took longer than expected to schedule. I had to personally reach out to coordinate a time that would work and had the expectation that someone would reach out within the next few weeks after the renovations. While this added some extra steps to the process, once the inspection was arranged, the team was efficient in completing it. Overall, I’m thrilled with the end result and would still recommend their services!"

You might need a new bathtub if you're noticing leaks, cracks, or stains that just won't come out. Most tubs last around 20 years, but acrylic and fiberglass ones might only last 10 to 15 years. If mold or mildew has become a problem, or if your tub feels outdated or isn't as accessible as you'd like, it could be time for a replacement. Taking care of these issues now can prevent bigger problems later, like water damage, and make your bathroom a safer, more comfortable space.
You should install your tub in a location that complements your bathroom's layout, plumbing connections, and personal preferences. Consider placing it near existing plumbing to minimize installation costs. Many homeowners position their tubs to take advantage of natural light or scenic outdoor views, enhancing relaxation. Ensure there's sufficient space around the tub for easy access and safety, especially if accessibility is a concern. Ultimately, the ideal spot is where the tub fits seamlessly with your bathroom design and provides the most comfort and convenience for your needs.
Yes, you can refinish your tub if it's structurally sound but has surface imperfections like scratches, chips, or stains. Refinishing costs $330 to $630, depending on the material, and is a cost-effective alternative to full replacement. The process involves repairing any damage and applying a new coating, giving your tub a refreshed appearance. While refinishing can extend the life of your bathtub and restore its look, it's a temporary solution and may need to be redone every few years to maintain its condition. It's ideal for tubs in good shape that need a cosmetic update.
Replacing a bathtub takes just one or two days if you hire a pro to handle the job. They'll remove the old tub and install the new one efficiently. If you're considering doing it yourself, be prepared for it to take much longer—possibly up to a month. That's because you'll need to remove the old tub and drywall, install the new tub, repair the walls, and maybe tackle new tiling. Weigh the time commitment against potential cost savings to decide what's best for you.
