Abstract:

A combination liner assembly for bathtub, walls and ceiling is provided for renovating a worn or outmoded bathtub installed in a wall recess. The assembly includes a plastic bathtub-shaped liner having a tub portion sized to be seated in the tub cavity of the bathtub with the bottom surface of the tub portion resting upon the bottom surface of the original tub cavity and said bottom surface supporting the weight of the liner as well as the water and the bather therein. The bathtub liner is connected to the waste and overflow drains of the original bathtub and has an outwardly projecting peripheral flange around the top edge thereof which overlies the marginal ledges of the bathtub. Sealing membranes provide water-tight seals between the peripheral flange of the bathtub liner and the walls of the wall recess. The assembly also includes a matching wall liner which covers the walls of the recess above the bathtub liner.
