You can start by asking yourself the following questions.</p><ul><li><em>Do I want a Diamond Certified company that is rated best in quality and backed by the Diamond Certified Guarantee?</em></li><li><em>Are you planning to replace your bathtub or shower, or line or refinish it? Is your tub already lined or previously refinished?</em></li><li><em>Are you looking for a custom-designed bathtub or shower?</em></li><li><em>What kind of bathtub do you prefer? Design options include built-in (shower and tub combination), free-standing (clawfoot or legged), soaking, or specialty fixtures such as a whirlpool.</em></li><li><em>What kind of finish are you considering? Solid colors, granite appearance, marble appearance, or tile appearance?</em></li><li><em>Do you want any special features like grab bars, additional shelving, or a raised bathtub platform?</em></li><li><em>Do you plan to maintain your current bathroom floor plan?</em></li><li><em>If your job involves tile work, are you considering ceramic, porcelain, stone, or other materials?</em></li><li><em>Are you aware of any related plumbing issues that may need to be addressed? Poor water pressure, leaking pipe, noisy pipe, loose pipe, lack of hot or cold water, or draining or flushing problems?</em></li><li><em>What is the best price you can find for your top selections of new bathtubs or showers? What other materials are required (for example, caulk and tile), and how much will they add to the total cost?</em></li><li><em>What is your budget for the entire project, including materials and labor?</em></li></ul></div>
