How are you able to match my bathtub so precisely?
We thermoform an exact duplicate of your bathtub from an inventory of over 850 bathtub molds. For example, if your bathtub is an American Standard bath tub made in 1952, Re-Bath will have that exact mold to manufacture from.

How does Re-Bath know which size bathtub liner to manufacture?
A Re-Bath salesperson goes to the customer’s home. They take several photographs and measurements. With that information, Re-Bath can determine the size, age and manufacturer of the bathtub. We have over 850 molds in our warehouse.

How are bathtub liners installed?
A Re-Bath certified installer scribes the bathtub liner for exact fit within tile walls. The bathtub is then cleaned with denatured alcohol (denatured alcohol diluted 50% with water). The installer lines the existing bathtub with a butyl sealant and inserts the bathtub liner over the existing bathtub. The new overflow and drain are installed. A 1/8 inch bead of silicone is then applied around the edges, and the job is completed. This process takes approximately 3 to 5 hours.
