Bathfitter?

I heard one bad comment in Trenton, NY and a good comment in Alexandria, LA but it really depends on who owns the franchise near you.

I hired them to do a bathtub refit for an elderly friend of mine. They worked quickly and neatly which was all we were really concerned about. The finished product works fine and looks fine for a plastic tub and enclosure. If we had the time, clearly a new cast iron tub and ceramic tile would have been a better choice and I doubt would have cost any more.
i haven't done the specs yet, but I doubt it would cost less or comparable to do tile work instead of bathfitter. that is the point to do bathfitter,....to save cash.

I thought the point was to have the work done very quickly and with a minimum of disruption and mess.
They cost about $3000.00. I can install a new (piece Sterling) unit with new plumb and faucets for that but I can't complete it in a day. So I would say they cost more but the advantage is the time savings.
I would not use them. I would rather do it right (i.e.- fix the problem instead of covering it up).
