		BATH FITTER ® Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why install a tub liner instead of removing my old tub?

A. Removing a bathtub is a difficult, disruptive, messy job. The process can damage the wall, the flooring, and the plumbing and can put your bathroom out of use for days. A custom-molded acrylic BATH FITTER® tub liner is installed right over an old tub in a matter of hours and can be used the same day.

Q. Why shouldn't I just have my tub refinished?

A. Refinishing may look fine for awhile, but such finishes are fragile and tend to chip and crack within a year or two. You may want to ask someone who has used refinishing what they thought about the results.

Q. How long will a BATH FITTER® tub last?

A. Acrylic has a life expectancy of 25-30 years. It is the same material used by leading manufacturers for their high-end whirlpool baths and spas.

Q. Will a liner make my tub smaller?

A. Putting a BATH FITTER® liner into place is like fitting one cup into another.

Q. How will you make a liner that fits my tub?

A. BATH FITTER® has an inventory of over 400 individual molds so we can make a liner that is an exact copy of your tub. We'll simply take some measurements, then order the proper liner for your tub.

Q. Is the wall installed right over the tiles?

A. Yes! Our unique, one-piece seamless wall is installed right over existing tiles - there's no need to remove them. If necessary, we will repair any bad spots in your wall first to secure a solid base for the new wall. We don't just cover up problems.

Q. I like the look of tile, but I hate cleaning grout, do I have an option?

A. BATH FITTER® can install a beautiful tile-patterned wall that looks exactly like ceramic tile-except that there is no more grout to clean and no more grout to dry out, crumble and allow water penetration. Your wall will be sealed to stay dry.

Q. Is acrylic easy to clean?

A. There is nothing easier to clean! Acrylic features a highly polished, non-porous surface. Soil rinses right off! BATH FITTER® customers love their new, easy-to-care-for acrylic units. You will too!

Q. I find I use my bathtub only as a shower and getting in and out has become more difficult. Is there a solution for this problem?

A. Yes, an exciting new concept has been popularized in bathroom renovation. BATH FITTER® can transform old bathtubs into easier and safer access walk-in shower stalls. In one day BATH FITTER® can remove the old bathtub, putting in a spacious walk-in shower stall.
