Question:

Would you recommend any form of bathtub inserts as opposed to replacing the bathtub? Would you recommend an aborite bathtub walls over ceramics?

Answer:

I'm still afraid of the inserts because if there's an air gap of any kind, there will be moisture present and that means the metal tub can rust. The plastic laminates are great for tub enclosures but I'd still rather use cushion flooring for the sake of its flexibility and seamlessness.
