A bathtub isn't just heavy, it's heavy and awkward at the same time, built into a space with tight clearances on every side. Getting one out without damaging the tub, the tiles, or the walls around it takes more than just extra muscle. Our bathtub movers plan the extraction properly before anyone starts lifting.
What We Handle, and What Needs a Tradesperson First
To be upfront about scope: our crew handles the extraction, protection and transport of your bathtub. Water connections need to be disconnected by a licensed plumber before we arrive, that's not something a removalist is qualified or insured to do. Once your tradesperson has signed off, we take it from there.
Different Tubs, Different Handling
A standard acrylic bathtub and a heavy cast-iron clawfoot don't move the same way. Cast iron is dense and easy to underestimate, it needs wide, stable support rather than a couple of straps and good intentions. Acrylic and fibreglass tubs are lighter but can flex or crack under uneven pressure if they're not supported properly. We handle each type differently, not the same way regardless of what it's made of.
Checking the Path Before Moving Day
There's no point getting a tub to the truck only to find it doesn't fit through the hallway. Before we start, we walk the route from the bathroom to the truck, doorways, corners, stairs, and measure anything tight. That tells us whether it comes out in one piece or needs a different approach, worked out in advance, not discovered halfway through the job.
