I am doing some research for a bathroom renovation.There is a business
in town that will install a cultured marble whirlpool bathtub at a
very competative price compared to an acrylic tub. Anyone familiar
with cultured marble products and their pros and cons?
Thanks

The surface finish is a polymer. It attracts a layer of dull dirt and
needs frequent cleaning. The polymer also gets easily scratched when
you use tougher cleaning agents. I would think the material is too
heavy for a tub.

I had one in Florida. Scratches very easily but the good news is that it can
easily be buffed out with compound.
I didn't use any household cleaners on it. Bed Bath and Beyond sells a
cleaner and polish for cultured marble that makes it look and feel like new.
