Tub Surround Tile in Farmington, CT
Keep the tub. Lose the ugly walls — rebuilt, waterproofed and tiled in days, not weeks.
A surround re-tile is the highest-leverage job in a Farmington bathroom: three walls, one trade, a few days, and the whole room reads renovated. Farmington Valley Tub Co. rebuilds tub surrounds exclusively — tear-out, mold check, proper waterproofing, then tile set flat and grouted tight. Your tub stays, your fixtures can stay, and the price stays in the low thousands instead of the teens.

Built for Farmington bathrooms
The Farmington pattern: a 1980s fiberglass shower pan gone dull and flexy next to dated brass trim. Shower-floor and pan re-tiles outnumber full redos here, and buyers notice new shower floors first. Farmington sellers refresh the shower floor and re-grout the walls before listing — it reads as a renovated bath in photos for a fifth of the price. That is exactly the job we do all week: Unionville, the Farmington village side, the UConn Health corridor, the Route 6 corridor — measured free, finished in days, priced in writing before we start.
How we earn the job
Measure — free, with moisture readings. Quote — itemized, fixed, honored. Build — barriers up, photos shared, site cleaned daily. Walkthrough — punch-list on the spot, care guide in hand.

Questions Farmington homeowners actually ask
The tub stays in place but is covered and out of service during the work. Plan 3–4 days without that shower; a second bath makes scheduling easy.
Almost always, yes — cast-iron and steel tubs are worth keeping. We protect the tub, re-tile around it, and re-caulk the joint. Only cracked or flexing tubs need replacement.
We meter-test at the quote, open only what's wet, dry and treat the framing, and rebuild on cement board and membrane. You get photos of everything we find before it costs you anything.
No — bring ideas or nothing at all. At the free measure we narrow choices by your light, tub color and budget, and confirm stock before quoting.
Often close enough for a surround that reads intentional, especially with subway and common mosaics. When an exact match is impossible we design a deliberate contrast instead of a near-miss.
