3 Things to Remember When Choosing a Bathtub Surround

Did you know that the enclosure around a bathtub gets more wear than the tub itself? It’s not uncommon for homeowners to have to repair the wall around the tub before having to replace the bathtub. That’s why tub surround panels are growing more popular. These tub surrounds are durable and easy to install. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Central Texas, one of the top bathroom remodelers in our area, explains what you should consider when choosing a bathtub surround.

Structural Constraints

You’ll need to identify the structural constraints in your bathroom. For instance, is there a window at the top of a wall in your tub enclosure area? If there is a window, then you’ll need to make sure that the measurements of your tub surround do not interfere with the window. You’ll also have to choose a surround with thin panels that are easy to cut and trim around the window.

Bathtub Colors

Can you match the tub surround to the color of your current bathtub? Most bathrooms have a tub, sink and toilet that match. You’ll need to make sure that your new tub surround has the same look and finish. Mismatched fixtures are noticeable and can accentuate the age differences between your bathroom fixtures.

Bathtub Measurements

You’ll also have to consider the measurements of your bathtub. You have to choose a bathtub surround that has the right measurements or is adjustable to the tub dimensions. You’ll also need to think about installation requirements. Some tub surrounds need to be attached to the wall studs, while some can be glued to the wallboards.
