Bathtub Liners

What are Bathtub Liners?
Bathtub liners are made of one-piece PVC plastic or acrylic, then the liner is molded to the shape and size of your existing bathtub and then the liner is glued down to your existing bathtub with a strong industrial glue. Bathtub liners are installed by a licensed plumber to prevent plumbing problems.
