    About Bath Fitter

    In 1984 Bath Fitter created its first bathtub liner, an acrylic bathtub that fit over an existing tub. The company soon added one-piece acrylic bath walls and accessories to its product line.

    Bath Fitter franchisees now also install accessories such as soap dishes, towel racks and shelves.

    Liners are made to measure, fitting around existing plumbing fixtures. Walls can be installed to cover existing tile.
