If the bathtub & shower combo replacement kits you’re seeing on the internet, or in your local Home Center store, leave a lot to be desired, you’re not alone. And while you want your alcove bathtub, replacement wall panels, and tub door to be functional, you don’t necessarily want them to be cheap, flimsy, and lack style like most bargain basement fiberglass tubs.
Below you’ll not only see what you’ll get with an Innovate Tub Shower Combo Kit (with options not available in budget bathtub replacement kits) but also learn the benefits and details about these tubs, wall panels, and bathtub doors. And if you still have questions, read the FAQ section, or call an Innovate Bathroom Product Specialist.

Grout free wall panels in bathtubs (contrary to what you usually see on the Internet) DO NOT have to be white, plastic, short, flimsy, and boring!
With the Innovate Tub Shower Combo Kit select from 29 different patterns, colors, and styles. They’re 3/8” thick with a finished look you’ll swear is real tile, stone or even organic materials like cracked cement or rough wood.
Kit Includes:
Most standard tub shower combo kits on the Internet have thin glass doors, hard to clean bottom tracks, come in a chrome finish (which spots easily) and aren’t very tall (usually 58” to 62” tall).
With the Innovate Tub Shower Combo Kit you’ll get 3/8” thick heavy frameless glass with no bottom tracks, a brushed nickel finish (simple to clean) and 66” high tub door so taller members of your family won’t need to duck to get in. Also, you can choose from a bypass (2 doors slide) or walk in glass bathtub door. And you’ll even get easy to clean, glass surface protection at NO EXTRA CHARGE!

Duraline bathtubs in 14”, 18” and 21” curb heights are thicker and sturdier (from 75 lbs. to 106” lbs. depending on the size) than competitive models. They come with an integral nailing flange for a waterproof installation.
Acrylic bathtubs are simpler to clean than fiberglass (which can yellow or gets dirty) and warm to the touch.
Choose a 14” high (perfect for bathing small children or those with mobility challenges), 18” high (good for soaking or bathing kids) or 21” high tub decks (for a relaxing soaking experience).
These 3/8” thick laminate wall panels are 3x thicker than what you’ll get in budget shower kits.
With 29 patterns you can match Modern Farmhouse, Modern Minimalist, Transitional or Traditional decor. Patterns like white subway tile, white herringbone, black hexagon, Bianco marble, rough wood, white or silver-gray marble and cracked cement will transform your out-of-date bathroom.
You’ve wanted to stop ‘doing battle’ with tile grout joints, but the thin, white plasticky wall panels you’ve found in common shower kits look cheap and fake. With laminate wall panels in the Innovate Shower Kit program you’ll get indented faux grout joints AND realistic looks.
The wall panels in cheap tub kits are only 60” tall and don’t reach the ceiling. With laminate tub wall panels and 14” to 21” Duraline bathtubs, your new system will reach the top of your 8’ or 9’ ceiling so you won’t have to repaint or remove mold near your ceiling.
Cheap tub doors wobble when opened and won’t give you the upgraded alcove bathtub and shower combination you’d like. With 3/8” thick heavy glass and 66” tall bathtub glass doors you’ll feel the luxury AND won’t have to duck getting in.
Budget shower kits come with chrome finishes. Chrome finishes are notorious for spotting. Innovate Shower Kits come in a simple-to-maintain brushed nickel finish.
Why wait 12 weeks or more to FINALLY get your bathroom back because you couldn’t get the bathtub, or the wall panels or the glass door? Innovate Tub Shower Kits will arrive in 2 to 3 weeks.
When you buy a tub shower combo kit, it’s not like buying a new dress or pair of boots. You want to know how the bathtub, walls and glass are installed – and in what order. You may need help with the right size and design. Rely on the Bathtub Product Specialists at Innovate Building Solutions to put these pieces together (and we’ll even share our cell numbers with you to reach us).

The 60” x 30” bathtub with the 14” high tub deck will be best.
First, remove your existing one-piece fiberglass unit (especially if this old tub shower has a built-in seat, or shelving systems which extend too far into the alcove). Then look for bathtubs with higher decks (18” and 21” are 2 options), with deeper ‘bathing wells’ (this is the inside dimension). Consider using oversized recessed niches for soap and shampoo to create free space around the tub.
Yes, in the Innovate Tub Shower Combo Kit program you have 10 tub size/deck height options, 29 wall panel patterns and 2 glass tub door options. This kit gives you the flexibility to mix and match what you need – all at a more affordable price than buying each product separately.
You can (a) reframe the opening to a smaller (or larger) size or (b) build a platform around the tub and use a drop in tub.

Step 1) Install a bathtub with an integral flange.
Step 2) Install the grout free laminate wall panels. If the panels are too tall for your space, make your cuts from the top of the panels.
Step 3) Install a bypass (2 doors slide) or walk in pivoting tub screen.
The Duraline bathtubs have a 25 year warranty (in the 14” and 18” deck heights) and a 10 year warranty in the 21” high deck height.
The laminate wall panels have a lifetime warranty.
The glass tub doors have a 10 year warranty.
These warranties cover the product to be free from manufacturing defects. If there’s a problem, Innovate Building Solutions will provide a new product or replacement part free of charge. Damages resulting from an improper installation or improper cleaning are not covered.
Refer to the ‘Tubs’ tab on this web page to see how many gallons of water your size/depth tub can accept. Then for the weight of the tub multiply the # of gallons the tub can accept by 8.33 pounds per gallon of water. Add the weight of the Duraline tub (which are between 75 and 104 lbs. depending on size) to get the total weight. For most homes you will not need to reinforce the joists with these tubs (unless you have a structural problem prior to your remodeling project).
These products are 100% waterproof and don’t require any surface sealants.
The #1 reason Innovate chose a brush nickel finish is we know you HATE cleaning spots off chrome shower door frames. Sure, chrome finishes are cheaper, but they’re a pain to maintain. And while matte black finishes are growing, we chose the classic (and more popular) brushed nickel finish for the stocking program because they sell the best.
If you’d like other door finishes (or obscure glass tub doors) Innovate can get them for you. However, they’ll be priced higher than the standard shower kit program where we buy glass doors in bulk and save by shipping them in the kit together.
Since these kits are shipped together, you’ll save about 10% vs. buying the components separately. And yes, you can buy a bathtub and wall panel kit (with no door) if you’re planning on using curtains (see the ‘complete kits’ sections).
