About 6 years ago we replaced our tub with a ASB Firenze soaking tub, with surround. At the time we did not read any reviews and thought we were getting a good tub. Since then the first year we had cracks starting to form where you sit, it did not leak so I ignored it, but then that one started to spread, and another one started, where you stand for the shower.
A couple of questions.
I don't know what kind of material this is made of, seems like plastic, but I don't assume that this can be fixed or patched.
I had a plumber come in and he was going to get me a price for an Americast tub,
He stated that my surround probably could not be used again, and that my only option would be to either go with the surround that comes with the new tub or go with tile.
He quoted me the job, of rip out of existing tub, and surround, new plumbing valves, new americast tub 60x32, installing 6"x3" tile around tub,, and new Toto Drake toilet. His quote came in at just under $7,000.
Does this seem kind of high??
And is there a way to repair my existing "plastic" tub.?
Or should I be able to use my surround with another tub?
Thanks
Barry
