Q. We have a mobile home at Lake Havasu, California. The bathroom wall around the tub needs to be replaced. do you know where we can buy 4x8 vinyl (or whatever you recommend)panels for replacement? Any help you can give or someone in the Lake Havasu or Orange County, California area where we can purchase these panels would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance for your attention to this matter.
A. If you have a 5' x 28'' bath tub or larger you can get a kit that comes in a flat box. I have added some tub surround suppliers on the main website Mobile Home Tub Surround Page. All home improvement stores have these. I have installed them in many mobile homes. Lowes, Home Depot and other stores also carry 4' x 8' sheets of materials you can use for bathroom wall panels on the paneling section. They are found in the mill works department where the windows and doors are, but will require a level of expertise to install them. Just be sure to use the tub surround adhesive and not liquid nails. It will bleed through. It is labeled for use on tub surrounds. Follow the directions and don't forget the caulk.
Update: DON, THANKS FOR ALL THE TIPS. MY HUSBAND AND SON COMPLETED THE JOB LAST WEEKEND. IT TURNED OUT VERY WELL (ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET....JUST PICTURES).
