Anyone have a good or bad experience with this company? It sounds like a
good alternative to ripping out the old one piece shower / tub I have. What
is the cost of having this done, and is it really a 1 day project?
Thanks
Jim

My dad had it done and is quite happy with the result. I won't see him
for a couple of weeks, so can't attest, but considering Dad still lives
in the house he built when I was 4 (that would be 1963), if he's happy
I'm guessing it was a good job.

I got a quote of $2300 for one of their drop in kits, elected to replumb all
since they would not/could not explain how they can inspect and ensure water
tight drain fitting without inspection.

I got an estimate from them once for about $2000, but they guy said one
of my shower walls was too soft and I would have to tear it out and
replace it with something before he could warranty their install.
Water leakage had weakened the drywall beneath the tile.

If I didn't have to do any work I might have gone with them. So
instead of just tearing out the one wall I renovated the whole bath.

I figured if I had to tear out one wall why stop there for an expensive
and temporary solution?

I would not get one of these things (covers). I'll do it right and get
a contractor to replace my tub and do the rest myself. My guess is
that they look OK, but when problems arise, as they will eventually, it
siwwl be much harder to fix. I don't cover up problems, I fix them.
If I were looking at houses to buy and one had one of these, I would
figure in the cost to replace proper and bid appropriately.
