Whether you need a walk-in shower to make your bathroom more accessible or you simply don’t use a bathtub anymore, we can give your bathroom an instant update with our beautiful surrounds and shower bases. Here are a few types of walk-in showers to consider.

One of the most common reasons homeowners choose to install a Bath Fitter tub is because their old bathtub is in bad shape. Whether it had moldy grout or a grimy surface that they could never get clean, our customers are thrilled to have a pristine tub in their bathroom again—but how can you keep it looking brand new? Here’s a list of approved cleaners for Bath Fitter tubs, along with some care and maintenance instructions to help ensure your tub lasts for years—or even decades!—to come.

How many bathtubs do you have in your home that never get used? Unless you have young children, we’re willing to bet there’s at least one, if not more, that are only used for showering. By taking that old tub and turning it into a spacious walk-in shower, you’ll instantly modernize the look of your bathroom and maximize your bathroom floor space. At Bath Fitter, we offer the easiest way to convert your bathtub to a shower.

Is it time to replace your bathtub? If it’s impossible to keep clean, is scratched, dented or cracked, looks outdated, or the top coating is faded or stained?  You might be contemplating a replacement—but why replace your tub when Bath Fitter can create a custom bathtub and surround to fit over it for a no-mess bathtub makeover? Here’s how the process works.

If your bathtub is old, outdated, dull, scratched, chipped, faded, stained, or rusted, and you are thinking about replacing it, you have a few options. You can remove the existing bathtub, replace it, or cover the existing bathtub with a bathtub liner.

Acrylic is both a popular modern material and one of the oldest plastic materials in use today. First formulated way back in 1865, acrylic has been widely used commercially since 1930 when first applied in periscope ports on submarines and windshields, gun turrets, and canopies on planes during World War II. Acrylic is aversatile polymer and can be colored, drilled, cut, fabricated, and molded. It is ideal for any application to withstand harsh weather, sunlight, and water-related environments like the roofing material, shipping and vehicle parts, outdoor lighting and furniture, pipes, sinks, and bathtubs.

Bath Fitter bathtubs, showers, and seamless walls are easy to clean and maintain. Made from acrylic, a non-porous and robust material, it is resistant to mold and mildew and, with minimal upkeep, will not stain or tarnish over time like fiberglass or glazed tubs and showers would. Acrylic does not easily scratch, and you can buff out deep scrapes. Plus, there is no grout to wash and, therefore, no worry about bacteria, germs, and staining.
