| My husband and I are using our trusted handyman to renovate our second full bath, and I'm struggling to pick out an alcove bath tub. Will an acrylic tub look cheap and cheesy? I don't want to spend a ton of money but I want something quality and that is not going to look cheap. TIA! Also, if anyone has any ideas of where I can go to check out some options (besides Home Depot/Lowes), I'd appreciate it. TIA! |

Yes, an acrylic tub will look cheap. They are harder to clean too. You can check out bathroom supplies at Ferguson's in Rockville:

| What is a better material than acrylic, other than cast iron? |
|
Acrylic is fine. It only looks cheap if you put in an acrylic surround instead of tile. |

| We did a white Kohler acrylic tub because the cast iron ones weren't deep enough. It looks good, and we used tile for the surround. |
Omg, Ferguson's? The place where you need an appointment and if you aren't dropping 50k you won't get one? She doesn't need to go to Ferguson's for a moderate renovation. |
