Only by the thickness of the acrylic material, and what is lost on the
bottom is gained on the top. Our liners are moulded to fit the style
of tub you have.

- My tub is 40 years old, will a liner
fit my tub?
We have moulds to fit over 180 different styles of bathtubs. About the
only tubs we cannot fit are antique claw-foot type bathtubs.
return
- Does a liner cover the entire
tub?
Yes. Our bathtub liners are a one-piece covering for the front, top
and inside of the tub. Moulded-in decorative fronts are available to
maintain the look of your tub.
return
- Are liners available in
all colours?
98 percent of our customer requests are for white or bone colour, and
the remaining 2 percent for a variety of other colours. Our factory
only supplies white and bone.
return
- What do I use to clean a liner?
Liquid cleaners such as mild dish detergents or the various
bathroom cleaners that are available as non-abrasive cleansers. A list
of approved cleaners are provided with each installation.
return
- Do you need to gain access
to the underside of the bathtub to remove the drain?
No. The drain is simply under screwed from the top side of the bathtub,
and is just as easily reinstalled after the liner is installed.
return
- My tile walls are in good condition
and I don't need a wall system right now, can I just have the bathtub
liner installed?
Yes. We can install just the bathtub liner if your existing walls
are in good shape, or we can just install the wall system if that's
all you need. However, we do urge you to consider getting a wall system
with your new bathtub liner so that your walls become maintenance free,
and you can avoid future problems associated with tile wall maintenance.
return
- I have a window above my bathtub. Can
a wall system be installed with the window being there?
Yes. We simply have to cut for the opening and install new trim to finish.
Over one-half of our wall installations involve a window opening, so
this is not a problem for us.
return
- The taps are pretty old and need
replacement, can you install a new set for me?
Yes. The time to change those old taps is now, when a new wall system
is being installed. We can supply and install a new tapset as part of
the job.
return
- I want to change the color of
my old toilet and sink, can you do this as well?
Yes. We can supply and install new toilets, sinks, vanities, countertops
etc. to complete the new look your bathroom will have when a new bathtub
liner and wall system are installed.
return
- Isn't a cheaper to just buy
a new tub?
Our best answer is to respectfully suggest that you compare one or more
estimates which reflect the total cost of the installation of a new
tub with our price. Make sure your estimates include all plumbing costs
for labour and fixtures (of equal quality), as well as the cost for
replacing wall and for tile damaged in the removal of the old tub. Me
complete our work in one day or less, and there's no mess when we leave.
Therefore, in most cases, saving you both time and money.
