• Fiberglass- which is the most common selection in tub surrounds
• Marble
• Plastic
• Tile
• and more.

The main thing to remember is that the material you use on your tub surround should be waterproof. Fiberglass tub surrounds come in the most variety of designs. It is also the most affordable out of all the choices in tub surrounds. You can find the fiberglass tub surrounds in different heights without having them pre-made or customized.

Ceramic tiles have been around for quite some time. When you use ceramic tiles you feel better knowing that water is not going to get past them. When you use ceramic tiles you can use any color you choose. You can even get creative on the design. Choose different sized tiles so you can have a bath tub surround that looks beautiful.

For creativity you can decorate your tub surround to make it more personal. For example, if you are doing your bathroom in a rustic look you can incorporate this into the look of your tub surround by doing a forest green tub surround or brown, the color of wood, to make the tub surround blend in. If you want a beach theme in your bathroom you can choose a sunny color for your tub surround or you can have a sky blue tub surround to enhance your décor. You may also want to stick to your basic colors like brown tones and blues in order to get the most out of your bath room. After a few years of keeping the same theme in your bathroom you may be tired of it and want a change. You don’t want to replace your tub surround every time you want to change your theme. That is why it is important to choose a neutral color tub surround so you don’t need to make a huge change every time.

Personalize your bath with your new bath surround. It’s the best way, and the most expensive way, to change the look of your bath without sacrificing your wallet.
