Do you know of any thats not plastic? Thanks Deborah Tenn.ps. tub surround im looking for.
Debra’s Answer
I know of no shower surround that is not plastic. I suggest replacing the tile.
You can buy fairly inexpensive tile at Home Depot, salvage yards, and tile closeout places. It doesn’t have to be expensive. We once bought all the tile we needed for our whole shower and bathroom floor for $80 at a salvage yard. And it was brand new, still in the crate. A contractor had just bought more than he needed. And it was beautiful tile.
