What reviewers say

Shelly from Michigan: “They don't just cover up the old fixtures—they completely overhaul the space, tearing out the old walls and replacing everything. The installation process was smooth and didn't disrupt my household at all. … They replaced my bathtub and revamped the entire shower, including the ceiling fixtures and railings. I was particularly impressed by their attention to detail, like upgrading to Easy Glide doors, ventilating properly around the new sink, and enhancing the flooring to make winters less harsh on my feet.”
Andrew from Michigan: “I got a walk-in shower and I also had a vanity put in and a toilet by Re-Bath. … I had a floor put in too. My previous floor had grouts in little tiles and it looked like it was dirty. They did a beautiful job of putting in the floor. The toilet and the vanity and then the shower are excellent.”
Alex from New Jersey: “Re-Bath is a little pricey, but it's worth it. It took two days for my guy to come in and do the floor and the wall. Re-Bath came in in one day and re-did everything. It seemed they knew what they were doing. I was amazed of what they did. When you walk in there, it looks like it's a completely different bathroom.”

Bath Fitter

Bath Fitter is primarily known for bathtub liners and tub-to-shower conversions. The company installs prefabricated liners over existing tubs, offering a quicker and more budget-friendly remodeling option. There’s no demolition or risk of damage that can leave your bathroom out of commission for multiple days.

However, this approach does not address issues with surrounding bathroom fixtures. Bath Fitter does offer additional solutions for walls, wainscoting and accessory renovations, but these aren’t the main thrust of their operation.

If you’re looking to make safety updates such as grab bars, shower seats or hand-held shower heads, Bath Fitter provides plenty of options. They also provide services for those looking to turn an existing shower/tub combo into a shower only.

Bath Fitter warranty

Bath Fitter offers a lifetime warranty on all of its acrylic products. The warranty applies to the original purchaser, as well as any subsequent homeowners. Maintaining Bath Fitter’s warranty requires that you to only use cleaning products on an approved list, which can be referenced on the company’s website. You must also be prepared to show proof of purchase to simplify your warranty claims that may arise.

What reviewers say

Philip from Virginia: “Grateful for how promptly this upgrade was able to get scheduled, Cody arrived as promised and finished the installation of the 2nd footrest tower in 60 min. Beautiful job. Cleaned up. Was advised not to use for 24 hrs to allow seal to dry. Pricing was as promised and 20% less than 2018. This is the third time we have used Bath Fitter in two homes. Very pleased with the high quality of the product.”
Barton from North Carolina: “The shower installation was done in a timely manner just like the salesman told us. Our carpets had protective coverings and I don’t think there was a speck of dust when completed. We love the shower and anyone who asks about it we have them come in to inspect. Would recommend this company for their product!”
Carol from New York: “We are very happy with our new shower. As we are getting older we were having a hard time with the tub we had. Would recommend Bath Fitter to anyone considering a shower. Our installer, Dylan, was very professional and explained everything he was doing. He cleaned up the area he was working in and didn't leave any mess behind. Again we are thrilled with our new shower!”
