The Bath Authority Reviews

In business for more than 10 years, The Bath Authority (TBA) operates as a direct-to-consumer bathroom remodeling company providing professional installations. It serves many major cities, including Baltimore, Charlotte, Cleveland, Columbus, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and St. Louis.

Installations from TBA can be completed in as little as one day and include lifetime warranties on all its bath and shower remodels.  If you complete a project with TBA, you get 10% off future projects with other brands in the Great Day Improvements family.

The Bath Authority provides customized walk-in tubs, walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions rather than fixed models. It offers two types of shower wall panels, the Signature Line and the Luxury Line. Both lines support custom shower doors and the company’s Forever Valves, which come with a lifetime warranty.

Both panel lines use solid-surface, grout-free, nonporous materials that help limit mold and mildew and are easier to clean than tile. These panels are faster to install than traditional tile or stone.

Signature Line

The Signature Line is TBA’s lower-cost panel option. Styles and options include solid colors like white, cameo and gray, along with patterns such as linen, pearl stone and washed oak.

Luxury Line

The Luxury Line uses the same grout-free, nonporous panels as the Signature Line but offers more premium finishes, including marble- and stone-inspired styles. Available finishes include tones such as white, butternut, gray stone and crème, along with patterns that resemble natural stone.

In addition to new installations, The Bath Authority offers several bathroom remodeling services using solid-surface, grout-free wall panels:

• Bathtub replacements: New tubs sized to fit your existing layout with seamless surrounds
• Shower replacements: Customizable walls, doors and fixtures built with seamless materials
• Tub-to-shower conversions: Converts an existing tub into a walk-in shower for easier access
• Walk-in showers: Walk-in designs with customizable finishes
• Full bathroom remodels: Complete remodels with updated tubs, showers, walls and fixtures

The Bath Authority’s walk-in tubs are designed to improve safety and accessibility, with customizable seating, faucet and jet options.

• Solid surface walls: Nonporous, grout-free panels that help limit mold and mildew and are easier to clean than tile
• Easy-access doors: Allow safer entry and exit for individuals with mobility concerns
• Soaking or hydrotherapy jets: Therapeutic jet systems for added comfort
• Customizable seating and faucet configurations: Options to adjust seating height and place faucets and controls where needed
• Efficient drainage systems: Designed to empty tubs quickly and reduce wait times after bathing
• One-day installation: Often completed in a single day

The Bath Authority offers free consultations but doesn’t publish pricing online. Traditional walk-in tubs typically cost anywhere from $2,000 to $20,000. The company frequently lists limited-time promotions on its website. Customers who complete a project with The Bath Authority also receive 10% off future projects completed by other Great Day Improvements-affiliated brands.

Financing for TBA products and services is available through GreenSky.

Many installations by The Bath Authority can be completed in as little as one day. Installation starts with a free in-home consultation, followed by a personalized quote.

Here’s what to expect:

• Consultation: A representative visits your home, looks at your space and discusses your goals with you.
• Quote: You’ll get a personalized estimate based on your home’s layout and the products you select.
• Project approval: Your plan is finalized, and materials are sent to production.
• Scheduling: You choose an installation date.
• Installation: A crew installs your new bath or shower and removes old fixtures.
• Final walk-through: You review the completed work and can ask questions.

Yes, the Bath Authority can be worth it, especially if you want a bathroom remodel that’s easier to clean. Its solid-surface wall panels have no grout lines, which helps limit mold and mildew, and many walk-in tubs and showers can be installed in a day. TBA customers benefit from a lifetime warranty, free consultations and financing options, along with discounts on future projects through Great Day Improvements-affiliated brands.

Pricing is only available through consultation, so those who prefer upfront pricing may not like TBA’s business model.
