First shower of the year. Not tile but we build them to last as long as physically possible. The cost difference of using tile is 3 times the cost of acrylic but can last 4 to 5 times as long as conventional acrylic surround.
Note: most surround failures are caused from water pe*******on where the tub meets the surround. Water gets behind the surround and wicks up the drywall causing failure. Blue or green drywall does not prevent this from happening. If water gets through it won't last very long. Make sure you check your silicone bond every time your in the tub. It's recommended to replace your silicone every 2 to 3 years depending on the condition.
Tip------ to make sure your drywall behind the acrylic is still good, simply press firmly on the surround starting from one side of the tub to the other. If you feel any soft spots you may need to have your shower surround re done.
* We do small jobs, we even book calls for silicone removal and re application and surround inspection.
