My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Custom bathtub - what material?

9 years ago

Hi, I have an idea for a bathtub and surround with curves. Cement would be great, but way too heavy. What are some other ideas? Krion? Cultured Marble? There has to be something great. Thanks in advance.

    Sophie is right and on top of that it is over think. But open your wallet if you like. It should be free standing or it's a total waste of money. You'd be better off with Palm Springs 1960 swimming pool in the yard.
