We had our bath tub and walls done using bath fitters Our fixtures were yellow and we wanted them white and I didn't want my husband to have to deal with replacing the tub. My husband did remove the tile and old wall board and replaced it with cement board. Bath fitters then recovered the tub and put up a wall surround. It was a second bath room but we did have someone using that bathroom for two years. I only cleaned the room. Felt that the tub was a little spongy. The new top did not fit the tub 100%. The finished product was okay. However, after it was done I felt it would not have been any more expensive to have put in a new tub and tiled the walls. We sold the house about 14 years later and it was still looking great. I think we paid about $2000 for the tub cover and surround.
