“ There ’ s a lot of misinformation about renovations , especially when it comes to bathrooms ,” said Scott McGillivray , HGTV star . “ A lot of people think a bathroom renovation means you have to gut the whole thing and start over . That is not true .”

In fact , according to the survey , 50 % of respondents who renovated their bathroom in the past five years agree that a tub-over-tub liner is an affordable solution that eliminates these renovation pain points while providing the same quality and durability of a traditional remodel with long-lasting results .
