Why is bathtub install different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal homes in Coronado, Imperial Beach, Del Mar, and Solana Beach often need a new alcove tub because the original fiberglass has yellowed or cracked under marine layer UV. We install acrylic or steel tubs rated for coastal humidity, a new pressure-balancing valve, and an acrylic or tile surround that does not depend on the old backing. Salt air eats cheap chrome, so we spec stainless or brass trim.
