Bathtub install - handyman vs plumber
Hey everyone,
I'm in the middle of renovating a bathroom in a rental unit and am having a hard time deciding whether to hire a plumber for installing the new bathtub. I currently have a contractor re-doing the tub along with wall tiling, and he is good but unlicensed. A plumber that came out quoted me $3k for installing the tub alone, which is close to what the contractor is charging me for everything. Would you feel comfortable relying on a good contractor or handyman to install a tub or do you always go to the professionals? The unit is 1 story, concrete slab foundation. Pictures attached. Looks like some of the wood around the tub might need replacement or reinforcement but am not sure.
Thanks
