Your shower and bathtub can last for several years with proper installation and maintenance. But when it’s time to remodel your bathroom, you might find yourself considering getting a shower or tub liner instead. Shower and tub liners are a great option for certain remodeling projects. However, other instances may call for a complete shower or tub replacement. To help you decide between a shower liner and a shower replacement, here are a few things you must consider.AestheticsShower liners come in various colors and textures that make them suitable for virtually any bathroom design. The acrylic sheet shower liners create a seamless and modern appeal while mimicking the beauty of traditional tiles.A complete shower replacement also provides the same benefits. With a wide array of colors and textures, it allows you to elevate the look of your bathroom. A replacement offers a greater range of options and styles, but you can definitely achieve excellent results with either shower liners or shower replacement. It’s safe to say that shower liners and shower replacement are both superb ways to update your bathroom.Existing DamageShower liners can be perfect for shower areas with scratches and stains. Remodelers will install the acrylic liner above the shower area’s surfaces. If they don’t detect leaks or water damage in the plumbing, they can finish the acrylic liner installation quickly.A shower replacement, on the other hand, allows remodelers to demolish and remove all broken and old bathroom components. Doing so will enable them to fix the bathroom’s subfloors and walls and remove harmful mold colonies. Any sign of extensive plumbing and water damage or mold growth on and under the tiles will require a full bathroom renovation.In this regard, the better choice between shower liners and shower replacement depends on the condition of your entire bathroom. Make sure your remodeler inspects your bathroom so that you can make an informed decision about your project.If you need help installing shower liners or changing a tub to a shower, you can count on South Shore Dream Bath to help you with your remodel.
