Check the inside of your walls first so it doesn't "mask" a bigger problem.

Our walls are good to go, the actual tub and tile are good, they're just, well you know, that lovely 70's mint green and marigold yellow. The guy actually said that the tubs we have are very high quality tubs. Which he didn't really have to tell me that since I have always loved those tubs with the exception of the color, thus going the bath fitter route, so as to keep them as a base to hold in that good heat. And also that they are about 400 lbs a piece, so removing them will really suck for whoever had the task of pulling them out, which most definitely would not be me.

We're probably going to have the upstairs tub done and see how we like it, if we really like them, we'll have my tub done.

I'm just putting out feelers to see if anyone else has had it done, and if they were happy with them.

I know the colors well, I have showered up there before.

If all is sound, then go for it!

My sister-in-law in NJ used them a couple of years ago and loved the job.
I've seen the finished product and it looks nice.

You'll be happy to know that we're actually going to put a mirror in that you are tall enough to see in.

Thanks. One nice bonus is that they provide a life time warranty.

Good to know!

I have not used them yet, but I know of 2 families that did. They did an awesome job. It was fast, too. I think it was done in 1 day, but I'm not 100% sure.

Both families are pleased.

I will be using them someday down the road, when my Dad moves in with me.

Yeah, it takes a day, well actually it takes about 6 weeks from the time you put in your order because they have to specially melt the thing to fit your tub perfectly, but for the actual install, it is only a day.
