Bath Fitter -
if it helps anyone ...
i just heard a commercial from Bath Fitter (evidently it is nationwide franchise?) it was a quick commercial --- and it flashes to this one lady and she says : "well, remodeling just wasn't in our budget" speaks worlds ... keep that in mind next time you're qualifying someone ... |

Re: Bath Fitter -
Not sure what you mean Dirt.
From what I have heard from customers and others is that it is quite expensive. Main draw is the time line offered, although I have yet to find someone who had the experience of their timeline being met. They always run into problems with mold, rot, or scheduling with the plumber or something. Rich |

Re: Bath Fitter -
Average sale is $3,500. Some people just want the $1600 Special, KWIM? That bath liner stuff will never compare to 'real' remodeling, KWIM?

Re: Bath Fitter -
I came out to estimate a bathroom remodel, and the HO was also considering one of those nasty shower "repairs".
I was sure to let her know that if there were any problems behind those loose tiles (always is), the surround system would only cover them up. I also never followed up on the job, because I refuse to lower quality to meet a low price. It's not worth the reputation or the pride in one's workmanship. Marty |

, as we well know....there are always troubles behind those walls. The future of remodeling will be to correct the knuckle head cheap fixes of today.
