A bath remodel goes beyond swapping out the tub. It typically involves updating the surround, flooring, fixtures, and finishes alongside the tub itself to create a cohesive, refreshed bathroom. If your tub is functional but everything around it looks dated, a bath remodel addresses the full picture rather than just one component. See our bath remodel page for more detail.
If your current tub is cracked, stained beyond cleaning, or simply the wrong size or style for your needs, replacement is the direct solution. We remove the existing tub and install a new one with proper plumbing connections and surround finishing. Options include alcove tubs, freestanding tubs, soaking tubs, and drop-in configurations. See our bathtub replacement page.
Installing a new bathtub in a space that did not previously have one, or converting a shower-only bathroom to include a tub, is a more involved project that requires plumbing rough-in and potentially structural work. We handle the complete installation from framing through finish. See our new bathtub installation page.
For homeowners who want a refreshed tub and surround without the timeline of a full remodel, a one-day bath installation is a faster alternative. We install a new acrylic tub and coordinating wall system over or in place of the existing setup, typically completing the work in a single day. See our one-day bath page.
A bath liner is a custom-fitted acrylic shell that installs directly over your existing tub, covering cosmetic damage like cracks, chips, and staining without a full tear-out. This is one of the faster and lower-cost options for refreshing a tub that is structurally sound but visually worn. See our bath liner page.
A bath surround refers to the wall system enclosing the tub area. We install acrylic and panel-based surround systems that are waterproof, low-maintenance, and available in a range of colors and finishes. Surrounds are typically installed as part of a liner or one-day bath project, or as a standalone update when the tub itself is still in good condition. See our bath surrounds page.
Acrylic tub liners are similar to bath liners but specifically refer to the acrylic material and manufacturing process. They are molded to fit standard tub dimensions and installed over the existing tub surface. Durable, easy to clean, and available in multiple colors, they are a practical option for homeowners looking to extend the life of a structurally sound tub. See our acrylic tub liner page.
Acrylic wall systems replace traditional tile surrounds with a seamless, grout-free panel system. Because there are no grout lines to seal or scrub, maintenance is significantly lower. These systems are installed with waterproof adhesive and sealant and are a popular choice for homeowners who want a clean look without ongoing grout maintenance. See our acrylic wall systems page.
Bath installation as a standalone service covers the plumbing connection, setting, and finishing of a tub the homeowner has already sourced, or as part of a broader bathroom remodel where the tub is one of multiple components being installed. See our bath installation page.
The right option depends on two things: the condition of what you currently have, and how much of the bathroom you want to change.
If the tub is structurally intact but looks worn, a liner or surround update handles it quickly and at lower cost. If the tub itself is damaged, cracked, or the wrong size, replacement is the cleaner solution. If you want the tub and the surrounding bathroom updated together, a bath remodel or full bathroom remodel is the right scope. If speed is the priority, a one-day bath gets it done without a multi-week project.
We assess all of this during your free in-home estimate and will tell you plainly which option makes the most sense given your space and goals. We are not going to sell you a full remodel when a liner will do the job.

It depends on the condition of the existing tub. If the tub is structurally sound with no cracks through the base, a liner or acrylic surround update is a practical, lower-cost solution. If the tub is cracked through, has soft spots in the floor, or is the wrong size, replacement is the better long-term investment. We assess this during the free estimate and give you a straightforward recommendation.
A straightforward tub swap in an existing alcove typically takes one to two days for the removal and installation. If new plumbing rough-in is needed or the surround is being updated at the same time, the project runs longer. We give you a specific timeline during the estimate.
These terms are often used interchangeably. Both refer to a custom-fitted acrylic shell that installs over the existing tub. The distinction in some cases refers to whether the product covers only the tub basin or also includes wall panels. We clarify exactly what each option covers during the estimate.
Cost depends on the tub style, the amount of plumbing work required, and whether the surround is being updated at the same time. ThriveStar Remodeling provides free, itemized estimates before any work begins. Request yours here.
