What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Freestanding Bathtub Installation (Tub Filler, Drain, Overflow)?
A freestanding bathtub installation is more than just setting the tub in place. It includes:
Supplying hot and cold lines to a floor-mount or wall-mount tub filler
Installing and connecting the tub drain and overflow assembly to the waste line
Securing and testing all connections so they don’t leak into floors or ceilings below
Positioning the tub so it’s level, stable, and properly aligned with the filler and drain
Done correctly, you get a working centerpiece tub that fills correctly, drains properly, and stays leak-free.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Freestanding-specific experience: We regularly install freestanding tubs and tub fillers, not just standard alcove tubs.
Leak prevention focused: We pay close attention to drain, overflow, and filler connections where hidden leaks often start.
Slab and upstairs savvy: Familiar with Las Vegas slabs and second-story bathrooms, where access and drainage matter.
Coordination with remodels: Comfortable working alongside tile, flooring, and general contractors on bathroom projects.
Clean, careful work: Protecting finished floors, walls, and the tub itself from scratches or damage during installation.
Licensed & insured: Nevada License #0047021, trusted for freestanding tub installation in Las Vegas.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
If an existing tub is leaking, stop using it and, if needed, shut off the tub’s water supply or the main until it can be checked.
Take pictures of the current tub area, including the floor space, walls, and any access panels behind or below the tub.
Confirm the freestanding tub and filler you’re considering (or have already purchased) are the right size for your space and doorway access.
If there is any ceiling below the tub (multi-story home), check for stains, bubbling paint, or damp spots and avoid using the tub until inspected.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and let us know you need freestanding bathtub installation with tub filler, drain, and overflow so we can help plan the rough-in and final hookup.
Common Freestanding Tub Situations We See
Replacing an old alcove or deck tub with a freestanding tub during a remodel
Emergency replacement after a cracked tub or leaking deck installation
Upgrades in master bathrooms where the tub is a focal design element
Converting a rarely used jacuzzi/whirlpool tub to a simpler, elegant freestanding tub
Investor/flip projects where a freestanding tub boosts resale appeal in higher-end baths
If you’re putting a designer tub in the room, the plumbing behind and under it needs to be done right.
Planning & Site Evaluation
We review your tub and tub filler choices, inspect the existing plumbing, floor structure/slab, and access, and confirm clearances for the tub, filler, and drain.
Rough-In for Tub Filler and Drain (If Remodeling)
We run or adjust hot/cold lines to the tub filler location (floor- or wall-mount), and set/adjust the drain and waste connection location and height to match the freestanding tub’s drain and overflow assembly.
Existing Tub Disconnect & Prep (If Replacing)
We disconnect and remove plumbing from the existing tub, cap or reroute lines as needed, and prepare the area for the new freestanding tub and filler—keeping debris and water controlled.
Freestanding Tub & Tub Filler Installation
We assemble and install the tub filler, connect the hot/cold supplies, then carefully position the freestanding tub, connect the drain and overflow assembly to the waste line, and verify everything is aligned and secure.
Filling, Draining & Leak Testing
We fill the tub, test the tub filler flow and shutoff, check the overflow function, and watch the drain and connections from all accessible angles to ensure there are no leaks during filling or draining.
Cleanup, Documentation & Usage Tips
We clean the work area, wipe down the tub and filler, and provide notes on what was installed, along with tips on operation and care—including considerations for hard water and seal maintenance.
What’s Included
On-site assessment of existing plumbing, drain, supply, and tub/floor layout
Rough-in or adjustment of hot/cold lines and drain location for the freestanding tub and filler
Disconnection of old tub plumbing where applicable
Installation and connection of the freestanding tub, tub filler, drain, and overflow assembly
Filling, draining, and leak testing to verify proper operation and watertight connections
Documentation and recommendations for any additional structural, tile, or finish work affected by the install
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Many freestanding tub installations are completed as part of a larger bathroom remodel, with plumbing scheduled around demo and finish work.
You receive clear, upfront pricing once we’ve seen the space, tub, filler, and existing plumbing layout.
Costs depend on whether we are replacing an existing tub or creating a new location, the type of tub filler (floor-mount vs. wall-mount), slab vs. accessible floor framing, and how much drain and supply rerouting is needed.
Each project gets a line-item estimate for rough-in work, final connections, testing, and any optional upgrades (e.g., shutoff valve changes, added access panels, or related fixture work).
Insurance & Claims Help
Sometimes a freestanding tub installation follows an emergency leak or cracked tub:
We can document failures or leaks from the old tub or deck setup and show what was repaired or replaced.
Our detailed invoices can help explain the plumbing cause to insurance or warranty providers when damage repair is involved.
(Coverage decisions are always made by your specific insurer or warranty provider; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Hidden ceiling and floor damage: Improper drain or overflow connections can leak slowly into floors and ceilings below.
Movement and stress on pipes: An unsecured tub or filler can shift and strain connections, leading to leaks or breaks over time.
Incorrect filler sizing or supply: If lines or filler aren’t sized properly, fill times can be frustratingly long.
Trap and vent issues: Wrong drain setup can cause slow drains, gurgling, or sewer smells.
Remodel headaches: Incorrect rough-in locations can force tile, flooring, or tub placement changes late in the project.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Code-compliant drains and supplies: Use of approved piping, traps, and fittings for tubs and fillers.
Proper support and alignment: Tub and filler installed with secure supports and proper alignment to prevent strain and wobble.
Manufacturer-spec assembly: We follow manufacturer instructions for drain, overflow, and filler installation to preserve performance and warranties.
Hard-water-aware planning: We consider Las Vegas hard water when advising on fillers and valves, and offer basic maintenance tips.
Thorough functional testing: Tubs are filled, drained, and overflow-tested to catch issues before the job is considered complete.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you install a freestanding tub where my old standard tub was?
Often yes. We’ll check drain location, supply lines, and floor structure/slab to plan how to adapt the plumbing for your new freestanding tub and filler.
Do I need a floor-mount or wall-mount tub filler?
That depends on your tub location, wall layout, and design. We can talk through pros and cons of each and what your plumbing will support best.
Can you work with a tub and filler I already bought?
In many cases, yes. We’ll want to review the specs and instructions to confirm compatibility with your plumbing and space before installation.
What if my bathroom is on the second floor?
We’ll check access from below or adjacent rooms, look for any existing damage, and plan the drain and overflow connections carefully to protect the ceiling and structure.
Will you coordinate with my contractor or designer?
Yes. We often work with GCs, designers, and tile/flooring contractors to keep the tub installation aligned with the overall remodel plan.
