New Bathtub Replacement Project By Tightseal Exteriors And Baths Franklin, Wi

Bathtub Replacement Completely Transformed
The Bathroom In Their Franklin, WI Home

From An Unsightly Yellowing Old Fiberglass Tub
To A New Accessible Acrylic Tub & Surround

Bathtub replacement has a profound impact on bathrooms. So the TightSeal Exteriors & Baths team was happy to help this family in Franklin, WI, replace their worn, yellowing fiberglass bathtub.

It was the original tub to their home, which isn’t uncommon in the Milwaukee County area.

We see this kind of thing day in and day out at TightSeal. Here are some details they were dealing with:

Their fiberglass tub was prone to chipping, discoloration, mold, and mildew.
There was unsightly fading and scratches.
Its available storage space definitely left something to be desired, as well.
The fixtures were in bad shape.
They were also focused on improving accessibility.

The time had come for an upgrade, and these folks needed a more modern, functional bathtub. Although these 30+-year-old tubs can be a pain to deal with, the TightSeal team didn’t hesitate to get to work.

Now, when most people talk to us about making their bathing area more accessible, we talk about tub-to-shower conversions. Specifically about removing the tubs and replacing them with beautiful, low-barrier walk-in showers. However, this family enjoyed bathing and was looking for a middle ground between the two.

So, we replaced the tub, surround, and fixtures, then added custom grab bars and new storage shelves. As you can see below, it was quite the overhaul for this Franklin, WI family.
