Bathroom Remodeling FAQ

Unlike bath liner companies that place a new surface over your existing tub or shower, Smart Choice Baths fully removes the entire wet area down to the studs and subfloor. We also upgrade all of the rough plumbing by replacing the drain assembly, waterlines, and valve body before installing a brand-new, high-quality shower or tub system. This approach helps prevent hidden moisture issues that can lead to mold or mildew, which are common problems with liner installations. Our process ensures a cleaner, more durable, and long-lasting remodel.

Solid surface wall systems are high-quality shower or tub wall panels made from durable, non-porous materials like strong acrylic. At Smart Choice Baths, we use custom-fit, compression-molded acrylic panels that create a seamless, waterproof barrier with no grout lines. This helps prevent leaks and eliminates places where mold and mildew can grow. These walls are easy to clean, require little maintenance, and offer a sleek, modern look that adds lasting value to your home.

Solid surface is often a better choice than tile or stone in wet areas like showers and tubs. At Smart Choice Baths, we use non-porous, waterproof solid surface panels that are engineered to handle moisture, daily use, and wear. Our systems are compression-molded under 5,000 PSI, which creates a dense, impact-resistant surface that resists cracks, stains, and mold growth.

Unlike tile or stone, solid surface does not require grout, so there’s no need for sealing or heavy scrubbing, and there’s less risk of water leaking behind the walls. While tile and stone can look beautiful, they’re better suited for drier areas. Solid surface offers a clean, modern look with long-term durability and low maintenance, making it an ideal solution for bathrooms.

Installing a new bathtub typically begins with removing the old one, if it exists. Once the space is cleared, the new tub is set in place, leveled, and securely fastened. After that, the plumbing connections are made to ensure proper drainage and water flow. Finally, the area around the tub is sealed with high-quality caulk to prevent any water leaks and to finish the installation cleanly.

Solid surface outperforms tile in almost every key area. It’s non-porous, which means it naturally resists mold, mildew, and staining. Unlike tile, it doesn’t have grout lines that need constant scrubbing or sealing, making it much easier to clean and maintain. Solid surface is also more durable and less likely to crack or chip over time. With its seamless look, modern design, and low-maintenance benefits, solid surface is a smarter, longer-lasting solution for bathroom remodels.

Smart Choice Baths offers a wide range of solid surface bath solutions tailored to your space, style, and safety needs. We install traditional bathtubs, accessible walk-in tubs, and custom shower enclosures for bath-to-shower conversions. Each system is available in a variety of colors and finishes, and custom-fit to your home.

Yes, we do install free floating and clawfoot tubs! These beautiful statement pieces can be a stunning addition to your bathroom renovation.

However, because these tubs have specific requirements for proper installation, we need to conduct a thorough assessment of your bathroom space before confirming the installation. During this evaluation, we’ll examine several key factors:

• Structural support – ensuring your floor can handle the weight of the tub when filled
• Plumbing accessibility – verifying we can properly route water supply and drain lines
• Space requirements – confirming adequate clearance around the tub for safe use and maintenance
• Flooring conditions – assessing the subfloor and surface materials
• Electrical considerations – if your tub includes features like jets or lighting

This assessment helps us ensure your installation will be safe, functional, and won’t cause any issues down the road. We want to make sure your dream tub becomes a beautiful reality that you can enjoy for years to come.
