Common Questions
What services to you provide?
We do complete
first class bathroom remodeling excluding new flooring. We
can install a new acrylic tub liner and a one-piece wall
system, or a new shower base with our one-piece wall
system. We install vanity cabinets, counters, pedestal
sinks, medicine cabinets, mirrors, light bars, and
commodes. We can even convert your traditional bathtub into
a stand up shower stall with a built in shower seat.
How do you make a tub fit over the old tub?
Bath Fitter has hundreds of pre-fabricated molds of
different tub styles, models, and shapes. We measure your
tub, and then match the measurements to the correct mold
matching your existing tub so that it fits perfectly over
your old tub.
How thick is the acrylic tub?
The liners are made from 1/4 inch thick acrylic material.
Will this make my
tub smaller? No, it is the exact same size as the inner dimensions. It will just make your tub 1/4 of an inch higher.
Is the tub secured to the old tub?
Yes, there is no gap
between the old tub and the tub liner.
Is the bottom of the tub slippery?
No, a
non-slip bottom is standard on all tubs and shower bases as
well.
Is this a new concept and product to the market?
No, Bath Fitter tubs and wall systems have been installed
across North America both residentially and commercially
since 1984.
Is the product easy to clean?
Yes, the high gloss acrylic
surface is practically maintenance free, just wipe down to
clean. No scrubbing is necessary. It is the easiest
cleaning surface known today in bathtub products.
Will the products stain?
No, the Bath Fitter product is stain resistant.
Will the product last?
Yes,
this is a permanent solution. The Bath Fitter tub liners,
shower bases and wall systems have a life expectancy of 25
to 30 years and are backed by a comprehensive 5-year
warranty covering labor and materials.
Can your wall system go right up to the ceiling?
Yes, the walls are custom made to go up as high as you
wish. The can go right from the tub to the ceiling.
Can your wall system go over my existing tiles?
Yes, you do not have to remove the existing tiles. The
beautiful one-piece acrylic wall has no seams in the corners
and goes directly over your existing tiles.
We have
the same tile walls in our bathroom that go waist high
around the entire room. What can you do about the walls
outside the tub area? Will we have to remove the tile on
those walls?
No, we have
acrylic walls that have the tile design that we can install
right over the walls that go around the room that will
compliment the entire bathroom.
We have
some loose, wet, and damaged tiles. Will you leave them on
the walls?
No, we
will remove any wet, loose or damaged tiles, and if the
sheetrock behind the tiles is wet or damaged, we will remove
and replace them before we install the new one-piece acrylic
wall system.
Our
ceiling over our bathtub is flaky and it continually needs
to be painted. Can you do anything about this problem?
Yes, we
also have two styles of ceilings which we can install above
your tub and shower area which will eliminate the need to
repaint your ceiling.
Our
shower base is an odd size; will you have a shower base for
this?
Yes, we custom mold our shower bases so we can fit most any
size. We even have corner neo-angle shower bases.
We have
an elderly parent who cannot get into the bathtub any
longer. Do you have a solution for this problem?
Yes, we
can remove your existing bathtub and replace it with a stand
up shower stall. We can install it into the exact size of
the opening where we removed the tub, so that we are not
building interior walls. We also tie this into the existing
drain.
We only
have one bathroom, so if we remove the existing tub and
convert it into a stand up shower will we be without a place
to bathe or shower for very long?
No, the process of removing a tub and converting it into a
stand up shower stall normally only takes ONE DAY!
Then you can use it the next day.
We have
a one-piece fiberglass tub. Can you put a Bath Fitter tub
liner over this unit?
No,
we cannot install our tub liner over a one-piece fiberglass
tub, but we do have a solution for this situation. We
remove the fiberglass tub and install a Bath Fitter tub with
our one-piece wall system in its place. This process will
take
ONE DAY and you can use it the next day.
We have
very old plumbing fixtures in our tub and they leak. Can
you take care of this?
Yes, we
can change out your plumbing fixture to a single handle, non
scalding pressure balanced plumbing fixture. We have a
complete selection of choices.
We have old shower doors. Do you install shower doors?
Yes, we
have a full line of shower doors. We have framed or
frameless, with different finishes on the glass.
