PROPER DRAIN AND OVERFLOW SEALING
A tub drain and overflow that aren't sealed correctly will leak slowly into the subfloor or ceiling below, often going unnoticed until there's visible damage. We test connections before the tub is finished out.
Installation
Bathtub installation and replacement, including drain, overflow, and valve connections set up correctly for a leak-free, level install.

Timely Project Completion
Installing a bathtub involves more than setting it in place. The drain and overflow assembly, waste-and-overflow connections, and supply valves all need to be positioned correctly before the tub is secured, and the subfloor needs to support the tub's full weight once it's filled with water and a person.
Spartan Plumbing and Drain handles installation for standard alcove tubs, freestanding tubs, and soaking tubs, including the rough-in plumbing for new installations and the connection work for replacements. We check that the tub sits level, the drain seals properly, and the overflow is positioned to prevent water from reaching the floor.
If you're replacing a tub as part of a bathroom remodel or converting a tub to a shower, we coordinate the plumbing changes so the finished space works the way it's supposed to, without hidden leaks behind the wall.
Benefits
A tub drain and overflow that aren't sealed correctly will leak slowly into the subfloor or ceiling below, often going unnoticed until there's visible damage. We test connections before the tub is finished out.
A tub that isn't level or properly supported can crack fittings, strain the drain connection, and shift over time. We confirm the base and subfloor can support the tub's full weight before final placement.
Tub filler valves and supply lines need to be positioned to match the specific tub and trim kit being installed. We verify rough-in dimensions against the actual fixtures rather than relying on generic measurements.
Installation done correctly the first time means no reopening finished walls or flooring to chase a leak. That saves you the cost and disruption of repairs after the bathroom is already finished.
What We Do
Installation of standard alcove tubs for new construction and replacements, including drain and overflow assembly, supply connections, and confirming the tub sits level within the existing enclosure.
Plumbing installation for freestanding and soaking tubs, including floor-mounted or wall-mounted filler rough-in and drain placement suited to the tub's specific footprint.
Removal of an old tub and installation of a new one, reusing existing rough-in plumbing where possible or adjusting connections to fit a different tub size or style.
Plumbing modifications needed to convert a tub space into a shower, including relocating drain lines and valve positioning to match the new shower pan and fixtures.
