We had such a great experience working with Gabriel and his team at Bencke’s Tile Bath Remodel. From the very beginning, Gabriel was incredibly communicative, responsive, responsible, and someone we felt we could completely trust. He always kept us updated, answered every question, and made what could have been a stressful renovation feel easy.
Our Jack-and-Jill bathroom was 25 years old and very builder-grade and felt cramped with way too many doors. Gabriel helped completely transform the space into a bathroom that feels so much larger, brighter, and honestly looks like something out of a magazine.
The quality of the work is exceptional. They waterproofed the bathroom properly, insulated the tub, installed a linear drain with a perfectly sloped floor so the water drains exactly where it should, and the tile work is absolutely flawless. The floating vanity, mirror, and every finish were installed with so much attention to detail.
What I appreciated just as much was that Gabriel truly stands behind his work. If we noticed even the smallest thing, he was happy to come back and make it right without any hesitation. It’s rare to find a contractor who genuinely wants everything to be perfect.
We interviewed several contractors before choosing Gabriel, and I am so glad we did. The final result exceeded our expectations, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gabriel and his team to anyone looking for a bathroom remodel. They do beautiful work, they’re honest, and they’re the kind of people you actually enjoy working with.

Midlothian homes are young, and the tub question is about use
Inside the Census line for Midlothian, the 2020 to 2024 survey gives a median build year of 2001, give or take two years. The 2000s are the biggest decade at 29.5 percent of 7,936 homes, and only 8.9 percent, about 700, predate 1980. The line is tighter than the area people call Midlothian by mail.
A tub from the 2000s is around twenty years old. People trade it for a shower because the space works harder as a shower, or because the step is a bother. Old plumbing is not the usual story here, though the drain still has to move.
Midlothian: thinking through the swap
Newer house, same alcove
Most tubs sit in an alcove about 60 inches long. The new shower takes that space, and the wall behind gets rebuilt for it.
A county range, not a local reading
Chesterfield gives its water as 40 to 70 milligrams per liter, about 2 to 4 grains. That is a county range and not a Midlothian number.
Planning for later
If you want to stay in the house for decades, ask for solid blocking inside the walls so grab bars can go in later.
Nearly three in four own
The Census counts 73.5 percent of occupied homes in the Midlothian area as owner-occupied, so the decision is usually yours.
Tiled showers, to hold against your plan
Midlothian goes through Chesterfield County
Midlothian answers to Chesterfield County Building Inspection, at 9800 Government Center Parkway. The county lists new floor coverings and swapping fixtures like sinks, toilets and faucets as work that needs no permit.
Wall tile is not named on it, and moving, adding or removing a wall does need a permit. Tell the office your plan before demolition day.

We love our new kitchen tile backsplash! Working with Bencke’s was a great experience, from the start with good communication and professionalism to the finish with a beautiful job well done!
Gabriel came by to give an estimate on doing tile work and was very thorough in articulating his approach, timeline and cost. He gave a wonderful idea to put a marble counter ledge which turned out really beautiful. He was so quick in starting the project and kept everything so clean with protecting furniture surround the bathroom. His crew were so polite and did an amazing job. I’m so grateful for them completing this so quickly. Gabriel went above and beyond to get everything done quickly but also with excellence. I would highly recommend him and his crew!
We needed an access panel for our tile bathtub and Gabriel was able to give us a quick estimate. He delivered flawlessly and we are very happy!
I can't say enough about Gabriel and his team. I put in an emergency request for kitchen and bathroom tile repairs/replacements on a Tuesday, and they were out fixing it and doing an amazing job by Thursday!! Highly recommend. Can't say enough good things! Thank you!

Yes. Age is not the test. If the tub no longer suits your household, it can be replaced with a shower in the same space.
They can. Blocking inside the wall gives them something solid to fasten to, and it is easiest to add before the wall is closed.
