Shugarman’s Bath Vs. The Local Plumber In San Diego, CA

Plumbers Are Great At Plumbing. We’re
Great At Bath Remodeling


We love plumbers. They’re great at their specialty – plumbing.

Remodeling your bath or shower? Not so much. You see, a bath remodel is about much more than plumbing lines and septic tanks in San Diego, CA.

If your bathroom remodeler doesn't understand design concepts, your bath or shower won’t look all that great.

If your bath remodeler doesn't understand how to create proper support systems for your safety features, your bathroom may be less safe and less accessible.

And if your bath remodeler isn’t entirely familiar with the numerous intricacies involved with the tub or shower area, then you could face delays and shoddy workmanship.

These intricacies include everything from dealing with rotten studs behind the walls to communication with suppliers.

At Shugarman’s Bath, we specialize in San Diego and Orange County bath and shower remodels. That’s it. That’s all we do. As a result, we’re really good at installing a beautiful bath or shower in two days or less.



The Plumbers Method Vs Shugarman’s
“Down To The Studs” Approach

It’s important to strip the wet area down to the studs for every bath or shower remodel.Otherwise, issues such as mold, rotten boards, and plumbing issues underneath your tub or shower may go undetected and unresolved.

We know this. And most experienced plumbers know this.

And since plumbers are highly trained in all things plumbing, they’ll correctly detect and fix 99% of plumbing issues.

But do they know how to remediate mold?

Does your plumber understand how to properly assess and replace framing and subflooring that might be compromised?

At Shugarman’s Bath, we know how to identify all underlying issues with your bath or shower. This includes mold removal, structural issues, AND plumbing.


The Plumber’s One Week Or More Process Vs.
Shugarman's Bath's Two-Day Installs

After we order and receive your bath products, we schedule your bath remodel installation. From the time the demolition begins (the first step of installation), it usually takes us only two days to finish the entire process.

Two days.

Not a week. Not a month. Two days.

A plumber, on the other hand, typically takes a week or more to install a new bath or shower the RIGHT way. After all, they’re not specialists. They’ve never dealt with many of the issues that can arise during a bath remodel.

But we have dealt with many issues through the thousands of bath and showers we’ve installed. And through our finely-crafted process that focuses solely on baths and showers, we now consistently deliver one to two day installations.


Charging Extra Vs. Our “Never Any Extras” Guarantee

Plumbers have to charge more for what they find underneath your old shower or bath. After all, they have no idea what they’ll find, so it’s hard for them to build an accurate quote before demolition.

At Shugarman’s Bath, we anticipate every issue, and we don’t charge you extra based on what we find.

Now, once in a blue moon, we’ll come across an issue that’s entirely outside of what we’re capable of fixing (i.e. widespread termite infestation). In this case, you may have to pay for a specialist to resolve the issue.

But in 99% of cases, we never charge extra. So, the bottom line price you see in your quote, that’s what you pay to the penny.


The Plumbers Response Time Vs.
Our 24 Hour Response Promise

Since your bath remodel will take more time with a plumber, the chances are the plumber will need to juggle your project with other, plumbing-focused jobs.

Many plumbers respond right away, but some don’t. And the LAST thing you want are major communication gaps during your bath remodel.
Well, at Shugarman's Bath, there aren't any gaps in communication.

In fact, we have a policy that if you don't hear from us within 24 hours after you contact us, you can fine us $250. That's how seriously we take communication – you'll always be in the loop with us.

If you want a bath remodeler who installs your bath the RIGHT way on the first try and backs their craftsmanship for life, choose Shugarman’s Bath. Contact us today for a free and accurate quote.
