We proudly source all of our materials from our exclusive private manufacturer, BCI Acrylic, based in Chicago, Illinois. This includes our high-quality shower bases, wall panels, and accessories. The materials we use are not available to just anyone, giving your bathroom a unique and superior finish. In addition, we trust top brands like Moen, Delta, and Liquid Accents for fixtures and finishing touches, ensuring durability and style in every project. 

Our acrylic bathtubs are made from material that is 1/4 inch thick. Our wall panels are 1/8 inch thick, but they are securely anchored to a new substrate that is structurally sound and stable. BCI tubs, shower pans, and walls are manufactured using the thickest materials in the industry.

It might seem easier to leave things as they are, but ignoring issues with your bathtub or shower will only lead to bigger problems over time. Water damage, mold, and structural deterioration don’t improve on their own—they get worse. What might seem like a small issue today could turn into an expensive and health-risking repair tomorrow.

Fiberglass showers and units are often prone to cracking, yellowing, and staining over time due to their porous surface. While initially inexpensive, they lack durability and are more susceptible to damage from daily use, cleaning, and exposure to moisture.

Unlike fiberglass, our high-tech polymer is engineered for strength and longevity, offering 2-3 times the durability of traditional materials. Its non-porous surface resists mold, mildew, and stains, ensuring your bathroom stays cleaner and healthier for years, with minimal maintenance required.

To fit a 110” one-piece shower system wall panel into your bathroom, it must be pre-bent to fit through the doorway. This weakens the material and eliminates room for expansion and contraction, leading to stress, cracks, and a less durable installation.

Unlike these systems, our custom-cut panels are tailored on-site for an exact fit. Our floor-to-ceiling panels provide a seamless look with no extra trim.

 Resurfacing may seem like a cheaper solution, but it’s really just a temporary band-aid. While it can improve the appearance of your bathtub, it doesn’t address underlying issues like water damage or mold, and the results often wear off after a few years. Plus, resurfacing involves harsh chemicals that can wear down over time.

When we remove an old bathtub, the surrounding walls and fixtures are often disturbed, potentially causing damage to the wall surfaces or tiles. Simply replacing the bathtub without addressing these issues can result in water leaks, uneven surfaces, and future maintenance headaches.

To ensure a lasting, seamless installation, we recommend replacing both the tub and the surrounding walls and fixtures. This approach not only fixes underlying damage but also guarantees a fully updated, cohesive bathroom that will perform safely and effectively for years to come.

 While the upfront cost may seem high, the price reflects the quality, durability, and expertise involved in each installation. Our high-tech materials are built to last for decades, offering long-term value instead of a short-term fix. The process includes thorough assessments, custom fittings, and addressing any underlying issues like water damage or mold. Professional installation ensures a safe, functional, and integrated system, preventing costly repairs down the road.
