This Mustee surround is constructed from high-quality reinforced and molded fiberglass. It means that it not only looks good but it is also impact-resistant and highly durable. Unlike the gluable surrounds like Transolid, this kit attaches directly to studs, which could save a lot of time on your bathroom remodel. You also get self-draining shelves, which is surprisingly uncommon with these surrounds.
The pattern is embossed tile for that modern look, and it fits all standard 30 x inch bathtubs. Plus, for a fiberglass surround, the price tag does make you do a double-take. Remember that fiberglass is more porous than acrylic and stains easier.
And the high gloss coating is prone to scratches and chips. Keep all this in mind when making your choice. This Maax wall surround is super lightweight, weighing just 4. This surround fits bathtubs that measure between 48 and 60 inches in length, 31 inches in width, and 59 inches in height. You also get shelving, although how much weight they would take due to the lightweight construction is unknown, but our guess is not much at all.
This tub surround is at the cheaper end of the market, so it would be a great choice for fixing up a rental or a starter home where finances are a little tight.
However, you have to question how long this surround will stay looking good. It is so cheap and lightweight; you would worry that the shelves might buckle under a moderate weight, and the material will warp or split. This is the second DreamLine to feature in the review, but this one is different because it is a surround for a shower rather than a bath.
It comes as a kit that also includes the shower base. This unit is constructed from high-grade acrylic and ABS material and installs directly to wonderboard and greenboard and just about any other flat surface.
The base attaches directly to studs. The panels can be trimmed to size, and the base is scratch and stain-resistant. It also has a SlipGrip textured floor surface to prevent slipping and accidents in the shower. The tray measures 30 x 60 inches, and the wall surrounds are 30 inches in depth, 60 inches in width, and You also get 8 corner shelves for storing soap and shampoo.
If you want to own this shower surround, be prepared to dig deep. It costs almost as much as the Transolid model. We get that it comes with the shower tray, but you still need to pay extra for the drain attachment. The other downside is this surround only caters to showers. Some bathtub surrounds can be adapted to work with bathtubs and showers , making them more flexible. This American Standard tub surround mounts directly to studs, so it saves you time on your bathroom installation. It is also constructed from high-quality acrylic, giving it a high gloss shine.
Acrylic is easy to keep clean, prevents mold and mildew growth, and keeps its shine for longer. This model has 6 generous shelves, giving you ample storage, but they have kept the back wall clear to make it easier to get in and out of the bathtub. You also get tongue and grooving so that the panels slot together and prevent water seepage.
It measures 60 x 32 x 58 inches and weighs just 27 pounds, so installing it on your own should be a breeze.
The only downside is because this kit installs directly to studs, any drywall or boarding would need to be removed first. The other point is that this is a bathtub surround designed to fit American Standard Studio bathtubs, so it might limit its use on different makes and models.
Make sure you check it will work with other bathtubs outside of their dedicated range. This is the second Mustee to feature on the list. This model is formed from high-grade fiberglass, so it is durable and easy to keep clean. You can trim the panels to cater to awkward alcove shapes, and the edges overlap seamlessly to create a neat watertight finish.
This kit is designed to fit all TOPAZ bathtubs, and it also accommodates tubs that measure 30 to 32 inches wide by 60 inches long. It even adapts to install with whirlpool tubs 42 inches deep and 72 inches long. You also get 6 generous self-draining shelves, which are ideal for storing soap and shampoo.
Again, because this surround is constructed from fiberglass, it will be more porous than acrylic models, and it might stain easier too. This Swanstone wall kit comes with a back panel with molded shelves, 2 side panels with shelving, 2 apron strips, and color-coordinated silicone for the neatest finish. What we like most about this set is the aesthetics. It features an uncluttered, minimalist design that will add a touch of elegance to your bathroom. It comes with an instruction manual and installs directly onto the studs.
The only real downside here is the price since this is one of the more expensive options. However, you have to expect to pay more for high-quality products, and we still feel this bathtub surround represents excellent value for money. View on Amazon This is another bathtub surround from Sterling Plumbing, this time with slightly narrower dimensions making it more suitable for smaller spaces.
It shares many of the same qualities that make the bathtub surround we just looked at above such a good option. It is made of Vikrell, meaning it is strong and durable but also attractive to look at. It also has the same high-gloss smooth and shiny finish that will give your bathroom a classy and striking look. The main difference is in the style. We would describe this as a contemporary but more classic style of suround. We like the gentle curves of the design as well as the ample and convenient storage space provided by the shelves.
This surround will give you plenty of options for keeping your bath time products organized and tidy. If you appreciate this kind of look, this is another bathtub surround that should be worth considering. It will fit with the majority of rectangular bathtubs.

It also features an attractive and modern tile-like pattern, making it a great option if you are looking for a cheaper alternative to real tiles.
It is easy enough to install and will give your bathroom a classy and attractive look. We particularly like the two glass shelves that are included — they give this surround an extra touch of style and elegance that can be missing with some other molded-in shelf designs.
However, this is only a minor issue since it should stay in great condition for a long time as long as you look after it properly. All in all, this is a visually appealing and practical bathtub surround that will enhance the overall visual effect of your bathroom. Again, it comes down to personal preference, but if you like this style, this is an option that should be on your radar. View on Amazon If you are looking for a budget-friendly bathtub wall surround at the lowest end of the price range, this product could be of interest.

It also boasts overlapping corners that are designed to provide a watertight seal and prevent any leaks from occurring.

We also like the visual effect it creates — this tub surround will give your bathroom a clean, modern look. This is a functional surround that represents great value for money, but if you want a top-end product, you will have to be ready to pay a bit more.
It is easy to fit using easy-up adhesive installation — you just need to carefully cut the holes for the bath and shower fixtures. It is a relatively inexpensive option and adds a great visual element to your bathroom.
Tubs are usually 60 inches long, but widths can vary significantly, which is why you need to purchase a surround kit either with the right measurements for the tub, or one with adjustable dimensions. Tub surround kits are an affordable way to remodel a bathroom, but ceramic tile and other wall choices have their advantages as well, so think about your choices carefully before making a final decision.

With this type of tub surround, drywall or trim pieces will likely have to be added over the lip to cover it up. There are also tub surrounds that can be glued right to the wallboard. These kits are made of thin waterproof panel materials and can include as many as five pieces as well as shelves.
The thin type is the most adjustable in length and width because the two corner pieces overlap the back and side walls to take up the difference in space. Thin tub surround panels are glued on with a tub surround adhesive and have to be smoothed out while being installed.
Sometimes there is a window at the top of a wall in the tub enclosure area. Make sure that the measurements of the new tub surround will not interfere with the window. If you do have a window in the area, you will have to pick thin panels that are relatively easy to cut and trim around a window. With a tub surround kit, it does not matter which side your tub faucet valve is on. Unlike when buying a tub, when you need to specify whether the faucet valve is on the left or right side, surrounds are meant to fit either.
You simply make cutting marks at the appropriate location at the time of installation and drill holes in the surround to fit your valve and tub spout—another advantage of tub surrounds over ceramic tile and other wall choices.
