Meet Matt Skellan—One of Our Bath Tune-Up Franchise Success Stories

After spending 13 years in healthcare, Matt decided it was time for a change. He looked at a number of different franchises to invest in and ultimately decided to partner with Bath Tune-Up after speaking to existing franchisees. 

“The more owners you talk to, the more sense you get that everyone was looking after one another,” said Matt. “The more success that we each have as individuals—it’s going to grow the brand.” 

Joining a structured, supportive system was an important factor for Matt. Seeing the camaraderie among franchise owners made him realize the Bath Tune-Up system was something he wanted to be a part of. 

Why Matt Chose Bath Tune-Up

In addition to an extensive network of peers, Matt also decided to franchise with Bath Tune-Up for the following reasons: 

• Autonomy: Bath Tune-Up gives franchisees the ability to create their own schedules. As your own boss, you’ll enjoy the flexibility to balance your professional goals with your personal ambitions while maintaining your preferred lifestyle. 
• Training: Before launch, every franchisee completes a comprehensive two-week training program. From hands-on learning to classroom-style education, our training is designed to give you a strong foundation in all areas of the Bath Tune-Up business. 
• Support: After your business launches, you’ll have weekly calls with the Home Office to talk through any challenges you’ve faced in the field. Additionally, should you have any time-sensitive issues come up, you’ll have a dedicated support team ready to help you right away. 
• Technology: With access to advanced design tools like 3D renderings, franchisees can show customers exactly what their new bathrooms will look like. This not only helps close deals but also enhances the customer experience.
• Impact: Matt takes pride in helping customers complete projects they’ve dreamed about for a long time—sometimes 10 to 15 years. It’s about more than remodeling bathrooms; it’s about improving lives and creating spaces that bring real joy.

What Matt really enjoys about the Bath Tune-Up business model is that no two days are the same. Working a Bath Tune-Up franchise is not like a typical 9-5 job. Some days, Matt handles back-end tasks and operations; other days, he’s meeting with customers and pitching remodeling projects.
