What to Compare
Bath Fitter specializes in fast one-day acrylic shell-overs — they install a new molded tub, wall surround, or shower pan over your existing fixture. Re-Bath offers everything Bath Fitter does plus full-bath remodels (vanities, flooring, lighting, plumbing fixtures, toilets). If you want to redo the whole bathroom, Re-Bath handles the entire scope in one project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better for a $10,000 budget?
If your bathroom only needs the wet areas refreshed (not the vanity/floor/toilet), Bath Fitter is the efficient pick.
Does Bath Fitter acrylic hold up in Florida humidity?
Generally yes — acrylic doesn't mold like grouted tile and is unaffected by humidity. The weakness is if your existing subfloor or substrate under the tub is already rotted or leaking. Bath Fitter installs over whatever's there, so it hides underlying damage rather than fixing it. Have any water damage addressed first.
What about Re-Bath franchise quality?
Compare Bath Fitter and Re-Bath on scope, typical florida price, install time, using the actual models or local proposals. Ask for supporting documentation and a written explanation of how the proposed option meets your needs.
Can either handle a tub-to-walk-in-shower conversion?
Yes — both specialize in this. Bath Fitter's one-day conversion uses a molded acrylic shower pan and wall surround. Re-Bath handles the full conversion including plumbing relocation, threshold height, grab bars, and bench seats for aging-in-place.
Any cheaper Florida alternatives?
For tub liners specifically, look for 'acrylic bathtub liner' installers on Google — several Florida specialists use the same manufacturer (Gentex, Luxury Bath) as Bath Fitter.
