Bathtub liners can be bought in any big box department store, but the generic fit will dramatically shrink the size of your tub. More importantly, if the job isn’t done right, it can result in a leak. Plumbing jobs are best left to the experts. Otherwise, you will risk water damage in your home. If you are considering renovating your tub, you have much more to gain from a custom bathtub liner installation.
Custom liners are measured to fit over your existing tub so that it maximizes space. Store bought bathtub liners can cut off over a third of your tub space. Since they have to fit over any shape of tub, they can look more box like with harder edges. Custom installation will contour the liner over the existing tub so that the shape remains.
Acrylic bathtub liners don’t chip, fade, or wear like older enamel tubs. Acrylic is the best bathtub material in the history of bathing. It lasts long, retains color, and is warm to the touch. Acrylic is non-porous, so it doesn’t stain, or need wax, like gelcoat fiberglass. Any mild, non-abrasive cleaner keeps acrylic looking like new.
If you want to renovate your tub without going overboard, bathtub liners provide an affordable solution. Within a day, you can have a tub that looks like new, without having to pay for an entirely new bathtub. Bathroom remodeling can cost thousands of dollars, but you can get a new look for a low price with a bathtub liner.
Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. In the case of renovating a bathroom, don’t throw your bathtub out just because you are remodeling. With a custom installation, you can save money and make your bathroom look great. Call us today at the number above if you would like to learn more.
