How Bath Planet of Arkansas does the work

We are a local bath and shower installer and we stand behind every job. You are not handed off to a subcontractor. Every job follows the same disciplined process:

When a liner is the right call

A liner fits when the tub underneath is still solid but its surface is worn, stained or chipped. A custom molded acrylic shell goes over it, and new wall panels cover the old walls and grout around it. You keep the tub's plumbing and footprint, so the job is usually finished in as little as one day. If the tub is cracked or the floor is soft, the consultant will tell you a liner is the wrong fix in Arkansas.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a bath liner cost in Arkansas?

A bath liner with a new wall surround in Arkansas typically costs $14,000 to $23,000 installed. A standard acrylic liner and surround usually runs $14,000 to $18,000, adding a seat and grab bars brings it to $16,000 to $21,000, and stone look or patterned walls run $16,000 to $22,000. Glass doors typically put it at $17,000 to $23,000.

What is a bath liner?

A bath liner is a custom molded acrylic shell made to fit over your existing tub, usually installed with matching wall panels that cover the old walls and grout. The tub and plumbing stay in place, which is why most liner jobs take as little as one day. A standard liner and surround typically costs $14,000 to $18,000 installed.

Is a bath liner or a new tub better?

A liner is the better choice when the existing tub is solid and the problem is a worn surface, because it keeps the plumbing and footprint and installs in about a day. A new tub is the better choice when the old tub is cracked, flexes or sits on a soft floor. A liner and surround typically runs $14,000 to $18,000, and a full bathtub replacement is priced at the same free visit, so tub condition decides it.

How long does a bath liner install take?

Most liner and surround installs take as little as one day. The old caulk and fixtures come off, the liner is fitted and sealed over the tub, the wall panels go up and the trim and fixtures are reinstalled. Glass doors, typically part of the $17,000 to $23,000 band, are set at the end of the same visit.

Will a bath liner trap water against the old tub?

A properly fitted liner is sealed at the drain, the overflow and the rim, so water stays on the acrylic surface. That is why the liner is custom molded to your tub rather than a generic size, and why the tub is checked for cracks first. A standard liner and surround typically costs $14,000 to $18,000 installed.

Can I add grab bars to a liner and surround?

Yes. Grab bars and a seat can be added during the same install, anchored through the wall panels. A liner and surround with a seat and grab bars typically costs $16,000 to $21,000 installed, compared with $14,000 to $18,000 for the standard package.

What warranty covers a bath liner?

Liners and surrounds from Bath Planet of Arkansas carry the Bath Planet limited lifetime warranty on the acrylic liner and wall surround, and Bath Planet of Arkansas backs the installation, subject to the written terms. Typical installed prices run $14,000 to $23,000, and most jobs take as little as one day.

Can a bathtub be replaced without removing the walls in Central Arkansas?

Yes, a bath liner and wall surround can replace the look of a bathtub without removing the walls, and most installs take as little as one day. The liner fits over the existing tub and the surround panels cover the old walls, so the tub and plumbing stay in place and demolition is limited. According to Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table, an acrylic liner and wall surround runs $14,000 to $18,000 installed. Adding a seat and grab bars brings it to $16,000 to $21,000, stone look or patterned walls run $16,000 to $22,000, and glass doors run $17,000 to $23,000. The number moves with the options you choose, the height and size of the surround, and any repairs the walls need first. Loose wall pieces, uneven surfaces or hidden water damage may need to be fixed before panels go on. A free in home design consultation can confirm whether your existing walls are a good fit.

How do I know if I need a new tub or just a refinish in Central Arkansas?

Refinish the tub only if the shell is solid and the damage is surface deep, such as a dull finish, light stains or small chips. Cracks, rust through, flexing underfoot or a soft floor around the tub mean a refinish will not hold, and the tub needs to be assessed for a liner or replacement. Press on the tub floor and sides, and check the caulk line and nearby wall for moisture, because a leaking or flexing tub should not be coated over. If the tub is sound but you want the whole bath updated, an acrylic liner and wall surround fits over the existing tub and is listed at $14,000 to $18,000 in Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table. Adding a seat and grab bars moves it to $16,000 to $21,000, and glass doors move it to $17,000 to $23,000. Because the tub and plumbing stay in place, most liner jobs take as little as one day. A free in home design consultation can confirm which route fits your tub.

How long do bath liners last?

A well installed acrylic bath liner is built for many years of daily use, and a few things you can control decide how long it looks new. The biggest factor is fit: the liner is custom molded over your existing tub, so a sound tub base and a properly sealed bond keep water from getting behind it. Cleaning matters too, because abrasive powders and harsh solvents dull acrylic and shorten its life. Heavy daily use, hard water and a tub that shifts or flexes can also cut the lifespan. Installation is quick, since most liner and surround installs take as little as one day. According to Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table, a standard acrylic liner and wall surround runs $14,000 to $18,000, and a version with a seat and grab bars runs $16,000 to $21,000. Because the tub and plumbing stay in place, you are paying for a new surface rather than a full tear out, and the Bath Planet limited lifetime warranty applies to the acrylic liner and wall surround.

How long does it take to install a bath liner or acrylic tub in Central Arkansas?

Most bath liner and acrylic tub installs take as little as one day. The tub and plumbing stay in place, so the install team takes out the old unit, sets the new liner and wall surround, and hauls the debris away without opening the floor or reworking the drain. Scope changes the schedule and the price. Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table lists installed prices of $14,000 to $18,000 for an acrylic liner and wall surround, $16,000 to $21,000 with a seat and grab bars, $16,000 to $22,000 with stone look or patterned walls, and $17,000 to $23,000 with glass doors. Extra pieces mean more fitting and sealing. Hidden water damage or rot behind old walls, unusual wall dimensions, or a tub that was altered earlier can add time before the new system goes in. A replacement that changes the plumbing or layout can also take longer than a liner. A free in home design consultation can confirm the schedule for your bathroom.

How much do bath liners cost in Central Arkansas?

Bath liners in Central Arkansas typically cost $14,000 to $18,000 installed for an acrylic liner and wall surround, according to Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table. The same table lists a liner and surround with a seat and grab bars at $16,000 to $21,000, stone look or patterned walls at $16,000 to $22,000, and a liner and surround with glass doors at $17,000 to $23,000. Wall material, accessibility features such as the seat and grab bars, and glass doors are what move a buyer from one tier to the next. Because the tub and plumbing stay in place, most liner jobs take as little as one day, and you avoid the added cost of relocating drains or rebuilding the floor. Existing wall condition and any fixture changes can raise the final number, so a measured quote from a free in home design consultation gives the most reliable figure.

Is a bath liner better than refinishing a tub?

Yes, a bath liner is usually the better choice for a worn tub, because it adds a new acrylic surface and wall surround in as little as one day, while refinishing only recoats the old surface. Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table lists an acrylic liner and wall surround at $14,000 to $18,000 installed, a version with seat and grab bars at $16,000 to $21,000, and one with glass doors at $17,000 to $23,000. Refinishing costs less up front, but it is a coating that can chip or peel over time, and it does not change the walls, seat or fixtures. The price moves with the wall material, such as stone look or patterned panels, with added safety features like a seat and grab bars, and with the door choice. The tub and plumbing stay in place, so a liner job does not involve moving the layout, which keeps the work short and the cost predictable.

What is the difference between a bath liner and a full tub replacement in Arkansas?

A bath liner fits a new acrylic shell and wall surround over your existing tub, which keeps the plumbing and footprint and typically costs $14,000 to $18,000 installed, while a full tub replacement removes the tub itself. According to the published price table on this page, liner and surround packages run from $14,000 to $23,000 depending on options, such as a seat and grab bars at $16,000 to $21,000 or glass doors at $17,000 to $23,000. Because the tub and plumbing stay in place, most liner jobs take as little as one day. A full replacement pulls the old tub, so the job can grow when the drain location moves, the subfloor shows damage, or the walls need rebuilding, and each of those adds time and cost. A liner suits a sound tub with worn surfaces. Replacement suits a cracked tub, a different tub size, or a new layout. Bath Planet of Arkansas designs, sells and installs both bath liners and bathtub replacements.
