Both my sister and I had our baths redone by Carolina Rebath. I've been very pleased with the results. My tub was a stained and scratched mess in what was supposed to be white. I had it done in almond to match the rest of the walls. I have ceramic tile on the walls so I didn't touch them. It took less than a day (and $850). My sister had the walls and tub done in white. She says she sees shadows on th walls that look like gray streaks, but I can't see them.

Our houses are both over 60 years old so the tubs are probably that old, too. To tear them out would mean removing a wall and replacing it after fixing the tub/shower. I really wanted to eliminate the tub, but I'm glad I didn't. I've found uses for the tub, such as washing dogs and blinds.

And the house would lose some resale value without the tub.
