We are considering having a national company called "Bath Fitters" install a three-wall acrylic system with an acylic shower pan in our master bathroom. We currently have marble tile, which is pretty, but we are over the grout issues associated with tile, and we were trying to get something that was LOW maintenace. We figured the three-wall system is seamless (except around the pan) and was therefore the easiest to keep up with.
For cost purposes, we were also considering a one-piece fiberglass system (which would be even easier because there would be no seams) but from what we now know, we can't get that type of unit into the bathroom because it won't fit through the doors.
Does anyone have experience with Bath Fitters' products that could give some advice? Also, I've read a lot on this site about the Corian-type products as another option. Does anyone have any rough estimate of how that cost compares to a custom acrylic job?
We realize that some consider the acrylic products a step down from marble tile, but does it really look all that bad or cheap compared to tile? We figured if we were going to spend money we would prefer to spend it on nice countertops than problematic shower units.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give us.
