get the HIGHEST quality, thickest material, strongest one you can. They can vary so widely, from practically paper-thin sheets of plastic that seem to hardly be more than thick wallpaper to 1/8th inch quality fiberglass complete with hand-holds and rails (for those of us like us!)

Start at a plumbing supply store and ask questions…stressing quality…and at least they could steer you in the right direction even if they themselves didn’t know.

DON’T get one of those companies that advertise a “one-day complete refitting of your entire tub/shower”. JUST DON’T.
