"Don and Carol worked around our schedule and when Covid in our house delayed the completion, they were ready when we got healthier to finish the job. I am very pleased with my new shower, goodbye nasty old tub."

"Great experience overall. Originally hired this firm just to refinish a bathtub although I had many other repairs to do. While assessing the bathtub job, Matt offered, for a very fair price, to replace the tub faucets and new vanity that I had purchased . He also found where water had gotten into the wall behind the tub faucet and made the wall soggy. He was able to remove the tile, repair the wall, and replace the tile, without additional charge. After beautifully finishing the bathroom, I asked Matt to quote on removing a kitchen cabinet and repairing and painting the drywall around it. He did a fabulous job, again for a great price. Then I asked him to paint the garage door and porch ceiling. All the work has been done well. I use this firm repeatedly because of the work quality and price."

"I called David about a small job to replace a bathroom cabinet door. He couldn't have been more responsive. He came out the same day, measured the door and ordered it. As promised, 2 weeks later the door arrived and he came and installed it exactly when he said he would. Very professional. I highly recommend XLT and I will call them again for my next job."

"Our bathtub was refinished by American Remodeling Service (DBA American Bathtub Refinishing) in July of 2012. We were very happy with the quality of the refinishing of our cast iron tub and the color/finish was perfect. Fast forward 3 years and the finish started to peel off. We contacted them about their 5 year warranty and a technician came out today and removed the defective coating and refinished the entire tub in less than 2 hours for free. This is what a warranty should be. No questions and no hassles.

"Sam performed the work professionally, expediently, and without taking extended breaks.  The final product was beyond my expectations.  He turned my 60+ years-old bathtub into a gleaming gem!   Everyone who has seen it asks if I had a new bath installed - REALLY!     
Thank you, Sam.

FAQs for bathtub liner or shower surround installation and replacement projects in Chicago, IL

A bathtub liner is a custom, one-piece shell that slips over your existing tub to hide cracks, stains, and chips. Most are molded from tough acrylic or PVC and can include a matching wall surround for a complete facelift. When a pro bonds the liner in place, you get a watertight seal, a fresh look, and an added layer of safety—all without tearing out the old tub.

After a tech measures your tub and orders a made-to-fit shell, installation takes a day. The installer cleans the surface, applies industrial-grade adhesive, and positions the liner in place. They trim the edges, tighten the drain, and run a smooth bead of silicone caulk to lock out moisture. A quick plumbing check wraps things up, leaving you with a ready-to-use tub by the next morning.

You can pick preset sizes or order a liner molded to your tub’s exact shape, then choose from dozens of colors, patterns, and finishes to match—or refresh—your bathroom. A pro trims and fits the shell on-site, so every contour lines up and accessories like grab bars or shelving land exactly where you want them.

If the liner’s material accepts a fresh coating, a professional can sand it, apply epoxy, and restore the shine in six hours for $480. Swapping in a brand-new liner runs $800 to $1,000 and takes a day or less. Refinishing is the wallet-friendly route when the shell is structurally sound, but it won’t last as long as starting over with new acrylic.

Most liners last three to five years. High-quality acrylic, a snug professional fit, and routine cleaning help you reach the upper end of that range. If moisture seeps behind the shell, mold and odors can shorten its life, so keep an eye out for loose caulk or soft spots and call a professional if you spot trouble early.
