I am looking for a decent product for a tub surround. I would like to use something like hotels use. Nothing real fancy...just functional with a clean look. It is for a rehabilitation project. Thank you for your help in advance.

The problem I ran into is the big box stores have nothing but cheap and thin walled surrounds.

I use the Swanstone TF-57 surround. These were carried by Home Depot, but they did not sell enough to keep them stocked, so this line has been dropped in my area. These are the "best" unit I can find for the money I want to put into something that will last around 5 years in an apartment rehab situation. My plumbing supplier has picked up this line of products just so I can buy them, so you may also have to check with a plumbing house or supplier to find decent products.

Good luck with your project...
