The main advantage of a "fit-over" system is that it can be installed in one or two days and can be an affordable option to update a bathroom. Although we can supply and install these systems, in our opinion, there is a far superior approach which can be accomplished for about the same cost. Since the existing tub is not removed, the main disadvantage with a "fit-over", is that any mold, mildew and rot present behind the tub is left in the home. In addition to potential serious health concerns, there are a number of other disadvantages as well.
1. Reduced, rather and increased, sized tub and shower enclosure.
2. Existing plumbing supply and drainage system not upgraded.
3. Much higher potential for mold, mildew and offensive odors.
5. Potential for leaking and delamination between "fit-over" and existing tub.
6. Will not last as long as higher quality materials.
7. Does not add as much value to the home.
A "fit-over" system is usually a fibreglass gel-coat or acrylic bathtub and shower surround that is designed to "fit-over" and "into" the existing tub and shower enclosure. It does not replace the existing tub and shower but rather, covers it up.
