What we see on Alton homes

The median house in Alton was built in 1953, and 73.9% of the housing stock there predates 1970. 12,513 housing units, 57.1% of the occupied ones owner-occupied, which is a lower share than most of the towns we cover. A good deal of what we look at here is a rental or a recent purchase, and in both cases the useful question is what has to be done now against what can wait. 27.6% of it predates 1940, which usually means cast iron, a floor that has taken eighty years of water, and a room never laid out for a modern shower. The cast iron goes with us.

Bathrooms in postwar houses are typically five feet across with the tub at one end, and the tile is either original or an eighties refresh laid over the top of it. Where those rooms fail is the grout at the tub-to-wall joint. Water has been getting behind it for years by the time anyone notices the floor flexing. Once the surround is out we can see how far it traveled, and that is the point where the honest scope of the job becomes clear. On a tub swap specifically, what decides the day is what the old tub is made of and how it gets out of the room.

What the water does here

Illinois American Water, Alton District publishes a total hardness of 9 to 19 grains per gallon for Alton, which is hard at the top of the range.

Hardness that swings across the year is harder on a bathroom than a steady number, because the scale builds fastest at the top of the range and then stays. Grout takes it worst, because it is porous, so the calcium goes into the joint rather than onto it. High Performance Polymer Acrylic has no joint, which is the practical difference between resealing a shower every couple of years and leaving it alone.

Permits and paperwork in Alton

In Alton, work like this is permitted through City of Alton Building and Zoning Department. Whether yours needs a permit is a question of scope, and it gets answered before anyone starts. Pulling it is our job. So is being on site when the inspector comes.

We are licensed and insured. Ask for the certificate and you will have it the same day, not after a second phone call.

What we can put on an Alton house

Liquid Accents walk-in tubs for step-in safety and hydrotherapy, and BCI Bathrooms tubs, wall systems and surrounds. Accessibility is a decision you make at design rather than an addition afterwards: a low threshold instead of a wall to climb over, a seat, grab bars set into the wall rather than screwed onto it.

There is a showroom at 2424 Hwy 94 S. Outer Rd., St. Charles, MO 63303. Color on a screen is not color in daylight, and a sample chip is not a panel, so it is worth the drive before you commit to either.

Two things people in Alton ask

Do I need a permit for this in Alton?

It depends on the scope, and City of Alton Building and Zoning Department is the office that decides. We check before the crew is booked and we pull the permit when one is needed, so it is never something you find out about halfway through.

I had a wonderful experience and highly recommend them. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they were responsive, professional, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. The level of service exceeded my expectations, and everything was handled with care and attention to detail. I truly appreciated their dedication to customer satisfaction.

After looking for a tub-to-shower conversion for over a year, I finally found the right company with Perfect Choice Home Solutions. Nick Gangloff, the Design Sales Specialist, was outstanding from start to finish. He was prompt, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about both the products and the company. What stood out most was his passion for what he does and his genuine desire to help. He took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted, answered all of my questions, and walked me through the many options available without ever making me feel pressured. Nick made the entire design process easy and enjoyable. I feel confident in my decision and am so excited for the installation date. If you're considering a bathroom remodel, I highly recommend Perfect Choice Home Solutions and especially Nick Gangloff! — Starla K.

We had our bathtub replaced with a walk-in shower, new floor, and a vanity install done by Jimmy. I really can't say enough about Jimmy and his work. I'm particularly glad this wasn't a one day install. I feel like he cares about his quality of work, he kept us informed of what he was doing. Jimmy is a fantastic guy and his work is top notch. He has a great personality, he's very respectful, and kind. We would definitely love to have him back for our next remodel. D&R Best

Very professional sales rep. Nick, was very patient and thorough. Our friend used this company for two different bathrooms and gave them an A+ rating. I would definitely recommend asking for Nick if you are looking for a quote. I can’t wait for the install.

Great people came to our house and they walked us through the whole process and made sure we were comfortable in the service and we are going to have our bathroom completely remodeled There names were Kenny Minton and Kyle

Nick knows his job.he was great!!!Kenny and Nick has great customer service,very energetic,I really enjoyed listening to both of them about the company and their products.We look forward to working with you all and I will let family and friends know about your company.Thank U for your time and company.

They did a tub-to-shower conversion for me, and it was a quick, easy, and affordable process. The finished product looks awesome, and it's been so much easier to keep clean since there isn't a bathtub to worry about.

Bath planet had best price for walk in jet tub that had all the extra features other companies charge extra for. Installation took three days as plumbing had to be changed and electrical wires had to be installed from second floor bathroom to basement panel. The one worked did everything by himself except for carrying the tub up to the second floor. This man’s work was amazing. He was very perticulis in his work. He did clean up after himself so good that you didn’t even know he was there. My wife and I are so happy with the work that was done and the Alexis tub is fantastic. If there were more than five stars I would rate them as high as possible. Thanks Bath Planit for everything from the salesman to the final product. I highly recommend this company and the craftsmanship of the installer.

Personable, prompt, tidy, and professional all the way through– the team at Bath Planet gave us exactly what we envisioned. We couldn't be happier with our tub-to-shower conversion (with bench and with expansion via some empty wall space) which occurred, as planned, 4 months after meeting with Justin. Justin was happy to give us various tiers and alternatives to choose from. The scheduling was a key to the project, and they treated our availability as such. Ken ripped and installed everything in a few days' time. Also, he and our dog were mutually happy to greet each other every day. We recommend Bath Planet, and if you've ever driven by their location off '94 and wondered whether you would benefit from a new/improved " BAT-HROOM" (as their windows divide up the words) the answer is "Certainly, yes"!

Bath Planet finished our hall bath remodel today. Replaced tub with a walk in shower, what a difference. All material seems to be high quality and Mike B. ( our installer) was a pleasure to work with, quality workmanship plus on time every time and cleaned up as he worked. We have not used the shower yet but if it works as good as it looks we have a winner. Another plus with Bath Planet was of the five companies I requested estimates from two were no call no show on the estimate appointment and one came with no samples to pick from just pic's on his iPad. Communication to and from Bath Planet's office was fast and accurate . Thanks, Bob C

Bath Planet did a tub/combo redo of our main bathroom and completed it in 2 days. The installation team, Connor and Matt were very professional and we are pleased with the end results. Any questions we had were answered and they made us aware of what they were doing step by step. They updated the plumbing to the one dial style and took out the old cast iron tub that was an eyesore and put in a brand new one. They ensured my wood floors were protected from the materials taken out and brought in. After the work was complete, they cleaned up immaculately. We highly recommend asking for Connor and Matt…they were professional, knowledgeable, personable, and awesome to work with.

I needed to convert my shower to a tub because of an injury, so I called Bath Planet for help. They were able to do the conversion quickly and easily, and they even installed a new surround that matched the rest of my bathroom perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the results – Bath Planet definitely knows what they're doing.
