Project Coordinated by Karl RepExpert Bath and Siding Project Near You on Sunset Ln
We transformed a cramped, outdated tub on Sunset Ln in Michigan City, Indiana into a durable, low-maintenance bathing area using a custom tub insert. The homeowner wanted more usable space and easier upkeep after the original tub proved smaller than expected. The project boosted curb appeal, water resistance, and long-term durability for everyday comfort.
Project Overview
This bath remodel on Sunset Ln in Michigan City, Indiana addressed an undersized tub and worn surround to create a more functional bathing space.
CMS Platform used premium materials and careful installation to deliver a watertight finish, better ergonomics, and a cleaner look the homeowner could enjoy for years.
- Project type: Bath — tub insert installation and waterproofing
- Existing condition: original tub was smaller than expected and the surround showed wear
- Client goals: increase usable bathing space, reduce maintenance, and improve moisture protection
- Regional relevance: durable materials selected to withstand Midwest humidity and freeze-thaw cycles near Lake Michigan
Results
The new tub insert solved the primary problem by providing a larger, more comfortable bathing surface and a seamless, easy-to-clean surround. Installation improved moisture protection and eliminated gaps that previously led to staining and grout problems, increasing long-term durability and lowering maintenance time.
CMS Platform included a manufacturer-backed 10-year limited warranty on the tub insert and a workmanship guarantee, giving the homeowner confidence in performance and longevity.
- Visible improvements: larger bathing area, renewed aesthetic, and uniform finish
- Functional gains: enhanced water resistance, quicker cleaning, and improved drainage
- Warranty: 10-year limited manufacturer warranty plus CMS Platform workmanship coverage
