LINER NOTES. An installer takes measurements of the old tub, which are sent along with a photo to the liner manufacturer (in this case, Luxury Bath Systems) for identification. Then a matching model is used to vacuum-form an acrylic liner. It's trimmed to fit and slipped over the old tub, using special tape and adhesive to attach it. Matching wall panels are a convenient option that can be installed at the same time.
