Bay State Bath: Your Local Myth Busters
Today’s Myth: Acrylic Stinks
Why Most Acrylic Bath Products Are Basic And Boring.
Ours Are Anything But.
What do you think about when you hear the words “acrylic bath?” Cheap? Flimsy? Boring?
What if I told you, those thoughts are spot on…if you shop at other remodelers? One or two design options. Low-end lightweight build. Rushed, sloppy work.
Now, what if I told you you’re go-to acrylic assumptions are way off…if you shop with us? How? We partner with high-end acrylic manufacturers, like BCI. These aren’t your Motel 6 tubs. Not the tubs you grew up with.
They’re strong, heavy-duty (weigh a ton!), and are even available in many designs that go FAR beyond the basic.
Laser-etched “grout.”
Realistic stone finishes.
Custom patterns.
With our access to premium materials using smarter technology, we don’t just replace your old shower or tub. We replace your outdated assumptions about what acrylic is.
Let’s debunk some common acrylic myths…
Myth #1: Designs Look Fake & Ugly
Acrylic shower and tub wall system designs traditionally do look fake and ugly, with no dimension or texture. That’s where BCI laser-etching changes everything.
Standard heat-molded acrylic limits the depth and precision of patterns, making them look flat and fake. Advanced laser etching allows us to create detailed, textured designs that mimic real tile, stone, or even architectural lines. It’s clean. It’s crisp. And it holds up beautifully.
Myth #2: Comes With Limited Options
Most other companies only offer the trusty color standards – white, beige, and maybe a vague marble swirl.
At Bay State Bath, we think you deserve more than that. That’s why we’ve hand-selected a range of wall patterns and colors that offer real style—from classic tones that never go out of fashion to bold patterns that make a space feel truly high-end.
So, whether you want a timeless subway tile look or something that mimics rich granite or soft travertine, we have options that make your space feel like you.
And unlike tile, these walls are solid surface with no real grout lines to scrub. Just clean lines, beautiful color, and real visual impact.
Myth #3: Cracks And Chips Easily
Most acrylic tubs and showers are made with low-grade acrylic. This makes them thin, soft, and susceptible to chips and cracks.
Our BCI acrylic products are just the opposite. They’re built with high-tech polymer, making them thicker and more robust than the average tub. Made with multiple acrylic layers and reinforced with back material, our tubs and showers are virtually crack and chip-proof.
Plus, unlike the gelcoating on fiberglass tubs, our acrylic products won’t stain or fade over time and are easy to clean.
Myth #4: Only Standard Sizes Available
Wrong! …well, wrong if you go with us. Most other bath companies around here (especially other “one-day” remodelers) offer only acrylic tubs and showers that are standard-size and prefabricated.
At Bay State Bath, we custom-build each and every tub and shower we sell. But first, we measure your space down to the ¼”…because that ¼” matters. Properly fitting tubs and showers help stop leaks from happening and give your bathroom a more polished look.
