Default crack in tub..help

to tear the walls out to get in. It is a factory or manufacture defect.
They are the ones who will foot the bill. "Aquaglass" I believe. And this
guy has bought a lot of tubs from them. I get your drift though. I may try
to parlay this into a much nicer tub/shower situation.


Best bet is a Kohler one piece unit. I've had one for nearly a decade
and it still looks perfect. It did not need extra bottom support like
some brands do as it sits flat on the floor. Before that it was all
tile...no more, though.

In the end, you'd have a much nicer bathroom that'll last for many
years to come. The plastic shower enclosures are just crap.


Don't agree, see above. The fiberglass units are much easier to keep
clean. No nasty grout lines to soak up soap scum, etc. Many motels
these days keep their room cleaning costs down by specifying
fiberglass facilities. HTH
