The bathtub in your home is probably used for a variety of things. Bathing the dog, getting kids clean after playing at the park, and spending some time relaxing after a long day of work may all be uses for the bathtub in your home. Over time, you may find that your trusty tub is in need of bathtub repair. When you call a plumber to help you fix up your bathtub, here are a few things you should know beforehand:

1. Get a feel for how long the bathtub will be under construction- Before any repairs begin on your bathtub, ask the plumber how long the tub will be unusable. This is especially important if this is the only tub in your home. Asking the plumber working on your bathtub how long the bathtub repair will take allows you to plan ahead and make other arrangements if necessary. While some repairs don’t take more than a day, others can take days to weeks depending on the extent of the repair.
    
2. Make sure the plumber is licensed - There are many plumbers that service Hickory, Bethlehem, Granite Falls, and Newton, North Carolina that aren’t necessarily licensed to do the job. Licensure is extremely important when you hire a plumber for bathtub repair. Inquire whether or not the plumber you want to work on your tub is licensed before any work begins or any payments are made.
    
3. Get to know the business- The outcome of the repair job on your tub depends on the licensure of the plumber as well as their experience and the reputation of the company as a whole. Before you hire a plumber, get a feel for what kind of work they have done in the past and what other clients are saying about the company.
