For homeowners who'd rather not go through the considerable time and expense required to remodel a bathroom, bathtub and shower liners seem like the answer to a prayer. A miracle of modern technology made out of durable, non-slip materials that resist cracking and chipping, they fit right over the surface of your existing tub or shower, creating a whole new bathroom experience without the potential problems inherent in ripping out an old fixture. But as a component of your water management system, they're still required to be installed by professional plumbers in many areas. And not only can we here at Plumbers OKC send over a friendly, uniformed professional to handle that for you, we can also help you select just the right liner for your needs. No visit to a showroom is necessary: in fact, we come to your home with a selection from which you can choose. You'll be surprised at the sheer number of colors and surface materials available.
Getting a plumber like the ones on our staff to handle your liner selection and installation makes sense even if your city or county doesn't require it. Because liners fit over your existing shower or tub surfaces and walls, the potential for leaks is large. It's not just the prospect of water leaking down between the liner and your old fixture; there's also the possibility of water moving from there into the cracks of your bathroom wall or worse, dripping down under the tub entirely and creating a puddle under your home's foundation. A perfect seal is of paramount importance with shower and tub liners. Of course, if you decide that you'd rather go old school and just rip your tub or shower out entirely, we can take care of that project too. Liners are worth serious consideration, though, if only because removing an old tub from your water system and installing a whole new one is one of the biggest job you or your plumber can ever take on. If the pipes are in good condition and it's only the tub surface that's damaged -- and we can definitely help you determine the state of your bathroom pipes -- a professionally installed liner is probably your easiest and cheapest solution. |
