What reviewers say
- Andrew from Michigan: “I got a walk-in shower and I also had a vanity put in and a toilet by Re-Bath. … I had a floor put in too. My previous floor had grouts in little tiles and it looked like it was dirty. They did a beautiful job of putting in the floor. The toilet and the vanity and then the shower are excellent.”
- Alex from New Jersey: “Re-Bath is a little pricey, but it's worth it. It took two days for my guy to come in and do the floor and the wall. Re-Bath came in in one day and re-did everything. It seemed they knew what they were doing. I was amazed of what they did. When you walk in there, it looks like it's a completely different bathroom.”
Bath Fitter
Bath Fitter is primarily known for bathtub liners and tub-to-shower conversions. The company installs prefabricated liners over existing tubs, offering a quicker and more budget-friendly remodeling option. There’s no demolition or risk of damage that can leave your bathroom out of commission for multiple days.
However, this approach does not address issues with surrounding bathroom fixtures. Bath Fitter does offer additional solutions for walls, wainscoting and accessory renovations, but these aren’t the main thrust of their operation.
If you’re looking to make safety updates such as grab bars, shower seats or hand-held shower heads, Bath Fitter provides plenty of options. They also provide services for those looking to turn an existing shower/tub combo into a shower only.

What reviewers say
- Barton from North Carolina: “The shower installation was done in a timely manner just like the salesman told us. Our carpets had protective coverings and I don’t think there was a speck of dust when completed. We love the shower and anyone who asks about it we have them come in to inspect. Would recommend this company for their product!”
- Carol from New York: “We are very happy with our new shower. As we are getting older we were having a hard time with the tub we had. Would recommend Bath Fitter to anyone considering a shower. Our installer, Dylan, was very professional and explained everything he was doing. He cleaned up the area he was working in and didn't leave any mess behind. Again we are thrilled with our new shower!”
Bath Fitter vs. Re-Bath: Which should you choose?
Choosing between Bath Fitter and Re-Bath comes down to your budget, your renovation timetable and your bathroom remodeling needs.
- Bath Fitter is perfect if you’re looking to refresh your bathtub or shower quickly and without much hassle. On top of a fresh new look, you can add safety features like shower seats and grab bars in just one day. Bath Fitter’s options come with a much lower price tag than most bathroom remodeling options as well. So if you’re looking for a convenient way to remodel your bathroom without breaking the bank, Bath Fitter is the best option for you.
- Re-Bath is perfect if you’re looking to overhaul your entire bathroom, especially if you need greater accessibility options to address limited mobility. With more customization options for bathtubs, showers and everything else you find in a bathroom, Re-Bath can completely revamp not just the safety of your bathroom, but also the style. However, this more comprehensive remodeling also means that your bathroom will likely be out of commission for a few days and that your bill will be significantly higher than with Bath Fitter.
