        "text": "Standard bathtub installation costs are determined by the tub material, the condition of the subfloor, plumbing adjustments, and the surrounding wall finish. Acrylic and fiberglass tubs are lighter and less labor-intensive to place, whereas cast iron or stone composite tubs require significant labor and potential floor reinforcement. Costs also change if hidden water damage or mold is uncovered behind the old surround, or if you opt for high-end wall tile rather than a prefabricated surround panel.",
