Why is refinishing better than a bath liner?
Even bath liners can be damaged or fail. Many times, the seal around the liner fails and allows water to accumulate between the old and new surfaces. When this occurs, the stagnant water creates a “squishy” feeling, as well as allowing mold to grow. Many liners have a boxy look and you would have to spend more money to have a contoured one instead. Finally, the cost of liners are considerably more expensive, ranging from $600 to over $1,ooo. And to top that off, many liner companies will not install just a tub unit anymore, or if they do they will not warranty it if a wall unit is not installed as well. This also raises the costs to the homeowner.
