Howman says many of their customers are getting rid of the tubs in their primary baths in favor of the high-end showers. Therefore, he works exclusively with a Chicago-based manufacturer that makes ultra-durable, high-tech, polymer showers and tubs that mimic granite, marble, quartz, and subway tiles. Perfect for any style, the panels are 100% waterproof, man-made, and easy to clean, as there are very few seams, which are fused by caulk, not grout. The product is so well-made, it comes with a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer and a 10-year warranty on workmanship. “We selected the best-in-class products,” says Howman. “To make the experience easy and convenient for the customer, we come to their home to do our initial consultation, going over samples and ideas.” Every one of these modern, durable tubs and showers are custom-built and manufactured right here in the United States. These aren’t overlays. A Bath R Us certified factory technician will tear out the existing shower or tub and replace it with your selected options in just days.

In the short span of 16 months, bathroom remodeling company Bath R Us has gone from a fledgling start-up to an institution.

Not the best timing, right? Yet, I decided to move forward. I believed in serving the niche of luxury bathroom renovation with ultra-durable products that are affordable and beautiful.” Chad Howman founded Bath R Us in March of 2020 to fill a of marble, quartz, granite, and subway tile, but don’t want “People are looking to add a more modern and luxurious spa-like feeling to their bathroom,” Howman says. “We can make that happen.”
