Richmond’s housing stock spans centuries, from the Victorian rowhouses and craftsman bungalows of Church Hill and the Fan to mid-century ranches in Henrico and Chesterfield Counties to newer construction in Midlothian and Short Pump. What every one of these homes shares is exposure to Richmond’s demanding climate. Brutally hot and humid summers pull moisture into every surface. Hard freeze-thaw cycles through winter stress grout lines, caulk seals, and aging plumbing. In a market this diverse, a bathroom built to hold up to those conditions is not a luxury.
Long Home has been helping East Coast homeowners build homes that last since 1945. In Richmond, that means bringing that same standard of craftsmanship and attention to every bath and shower project, done in as little as one day.
Richmond bathrooms take punishment from two directions at once. Summer heat and humidity push moisture into wall cavities and grout lines. Winter freeze-thaw cycles do the rest, working on caulk seals and older tile work until they crack, lift, and fail. Whether you own a Fan District craftsman, a Church Hill rowhouse, a Midlothian colonial, or a ranch home in Henrico County, Long Home offers a full range of bath and shower remodeling services built around your home’s footprint, your schedule, and your budget.
An aging bathtub in a Richmond home is not just a cosmetic problem. In the older housing stock across the Fan and Northside, tubs have often been in place for decades, and the combination of Richmond’s humidity and older ventilation systems creates conditions where porcelain and cast iron fixtures accumulate staining, mildew, and structural wear that surface cleaning cannot reverse. Long Home bathtubs are custom measured and manufactured in the U.S. to fit your bathroom’s exact dimensions, so the finished product looks built for the space because it was.
Our tubs are built from high-density ABS polymer, a non-porous, antimicrobial material engineered to resist mold, mildew, rust, soap scum, and stains. That material profile matters in Richmond, where high summer humidity and cold winter drafts create exactly the conditions where lesser materials begin to fail. Every tub we install is backed by our industry-leading warranty, so if anything falls short of what we promised, we come back and make it right.
Older shower enclosures in Richmond homes were often installed before anyone was thinking seriously about moisture management. Grout absorbs humidity, tile work cracks under freeze-thaw pressure, and track-style door systems collect grime that no amount of scrubbing fully clears. A Long Home shower replacement addresses all of it from the ground up. Our floor-to-ceiling enclosures feature trackless semi-frameless doors that eliminate the channels where buildup collects. Glass surfaces are engineered to stay cleaner between uses. Every component, from the base to the wall surrounds to the fixtures, is custom fit to your bathroom’s exact measurements.
Richmond’s seasonal swing from humid summers to cold, wet winters puts real stress on bathroom surfaces. Our shower products are built to hold up across both extremes, with no grout lines to trap moisture and no materials that degrade with repeated exposure to temperature fluctuation. One day of installation. Years of performance. And every installation is backed by our industry-leading warranty.
Richmond has a lot of homes where the bathtub was standard equipment when the house was built and has barely been used since. In a craftsman bungalow in the Fan or a split-level in western Henrico, that tub is occupying floor space that a well-designed walk-in shower could use far more efficiently. A Long Home tub-to-shower conversion replaces a fixture you are not using with one that works harder for your household every day.
Our conversion products are built from a non-porous polymer that resists staining, mold, and mildew without the grout lines that collect moisture and require constant maintenance. Simulated tile wall surrounds deliver the clean aesthetic of real tile without the upkeep. Before any panels go in, our team evaluates the wall foundation behind the existing tub. Richmond’s older homes, particularly those built before 1960, frequently carry moisture damage inside the walls that is not visible from the surface. We find it before it becomes a larger problem and address it before your new shower goes in.
Richmond has a strong and growing population of longtime homeowners who have built their lives in their neighborhoods and want to stay. The Fan, Westover Hills, and Forest Hill are full of families who have been in the same house for thirty or forty years and are not looking to leave. For those households, a bathroom remodel is about safety, independence, and the ability to remain comfortably in a home that already fits their lives. Long Home offers a full range of aging-in-place solutions, including walk-in tubs, grab bars, low-barrier shower bases, bench seats, and slip-resistant flooring. Every option is designed to improve safety and function without making a bathroom feel clinical or impersonal.
Long Home has spent more than three generations improving homes from the Mid-Atlantic to New England, and that track record shows up in how we approach every project in Richmond. Our factory-trained employees deliver consistent, proven craftsmanship on every installation. Most bath and shower remodels are completed in a single day, so your household is not turned upside down for a week. Pricing is agreed upon before work begins, with no surprise costs waiting at the end of the job.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Most Long Home bath and shower remodels in Richmond are completed within a single day.* Before our installers arrive, your products are custom-built to your bathroom’s exact measurements at the factory. That means when our crew shows up, the work is focused and efficient from the first hour. Richmond homeowners are often surprised to find a fully functional, professionally finished bathroom waiting for them by the end of the afternoon. There is no drawn-out multi-week process, and no period of living around an unfinished space.
Do you offer financing for bathroom remodels?
Yes. Long Home offers a range of flexible financing options designed to make your Richmond bathroom remodel achievable without putting pressure on the rest of your finances. Whether you are working with a fixed monthly budget or planning around other home improvement priorities, we can structure a payment plan that makes sense for your situation. During your free in-home consultation, your product specialist will walk through every available financing option in plain terms, so you have a complete picture before you commit to anything.
Is there a warranty on Long Home bath products?
Every bath and shower installation we complete in Richmond is covered by our industry-leading warranty, which applies to both the products and the installation workmanship. Richmond’s climate, with its combination of summer humidity and winter freeze-thaw cycles, puts real stress on bathroom surfaces over time. We account for that when we build and install our products, and we stand behind that work. If something does not perform the way it should, we come back and fix it. No delays, no runaround.
Do I need to leave my home during installation?
No. Our installation crews are accustomed to working in occupied homes and are in and out efficiently. The entire project is typically wrapped up in a single day,* and the work is contained to the bathroom itself. Richmond homeowners who work from home, have young children, or simply prefer to stay close during the project find that the process is far less disruptive than they expected. Our team protects your floors before starting and does a thorough cleanup before leaving. The bathroom is ready to use the same day.
What should I do to prepare for my installation day?
Your main task is to clear the bathroom of personal items before our crew arrives. Remove toiletries, towels, bath mats, wall décor, and anything stored in or immediately around the tub or shower area. That is all we need from you. From there, our team handles everything, covering your floors, removing the existing fixtures carefully, completing the installation, and cleaning up before they leave. When the job is done, you will walk into a finished bathroom, not a worksite.
