Shower Stall Liners
Has anyone used one of those acrylic (or other material) shower stall liners when a shower stall needs updating? I’m considering it for a rental apartment and am looking for company recommendations as well as pricing info, if you have any…..thanks.

I am a trained installer of Schluter Systems. I would be glad to discuss this option with you, or you can go to schluter.com
It is a membrane system with only direct drainage, very reliable, yet simple. No lead. No mold.
The membrane is tiled, so if you select expensive tile and you need a lot of it, it costs more, but you can select cheaper tile and design a smaller stall. The cost of single lever mixing valves and shower heads is the same. For NYC buildings of 6 stories or more I use a stainless steel code-compliant drain.
The option is cost effective over the long run. The most expensive option is a leaky shower stall. My installations don’t leak.

thanks all!
I’m sure you’re talking about field-fabricated custom shower pan liners. We use lead or vinyl sheeting.
Either one works well when installed properly. There is much more of a craft to working with the sheet lead, though.
I used the cheap wall board shower stuff I think you’re talking about years ago when repairing a shower for a rent stabber. It looks like tile and did the job. Call around in Brooklyn and I’m sure you’ll find it.
Or have the existing shower torn out and get a sturdy plexiglass one at Home Depot. They’re much more substantial in my opinion, though more costly.
I forgot to mention that we did see something like this product in Home Depot many years ago, but I don’t know if they still carry it.
There is a company called Bath Fitters. I believe there is a website. I don’t think they are cheap, if that’s what your looking for, but they do look very nice,
