Mounting Styles for Bathtub Faucets

Deck-Mount: This faucet style works well with undermount and drop-in tubs. A deck-mount spout affixes to a ledge near the bathtub, which can be part of the tub itself or constructed separately.
Floor-Mount: Freestanding tubs are compatible with floor-mount faucets, which usually come with integrated hand-shower attachments.
Wall-Mount: As the name suggests, this type of faucet mounts directly to the wall. This is a space-saving option that works well for small bathrooms.
Ceiling-Mount: This type of spout provides a splash-free column of water and works with any kind of tub. It’s also suitable for small bathrooms because it doesn’t take up ledge or wall space.

Variables That Affect Tub Faucet Installation Cost

The price for a spout installation will vary depending on several factors. One such variable is whether or not there’s an existing faucet that needs to be removed. The mounting style of the faucet also has a lot to do with how much the installation will cost. In addition, the brand of the new unit and what it’s made from may also impact the price.

Professional Installation is Crucial

Homeowners should hire a professional contractor to install a new tub faucet. The preparation and installation process can be complicated and labor-intensive. If incorrectly installed, the new faucet can leak and cause damage to the bathroom, leading to greater costs in the long run. Using the services of an experienced contractor can prevent these hassles and ensure optimum results.
