Buy a Bath Fitter Franchise

Bath Fitter is a North American bathroom renovation franchise founded in 1984 in Montreal, offering acrylic bathtub liners, shower enclosures, tub-to-shower conversions, and walk-in shower installations. The brand’s proprietary PermaFit™ system installs custom-measured acrylic products directly over existing fixtures, completing most projects in a single day without demolition.

The company manufactures its own acrylic wall systems, tubs, and shower bases at facilities in the US and Canada, giving the franchise network direct access to a controlled product supply chain. All installations are backed by a transferable lifetime warranty. Bath Fitter serves both residential homeowners and commercial clients including hotels, apartment buildings, and multi-unit properties.

With over 200 locations across North America and more than 2 million completed installations, Bath Fitter is one of the category’s most established franchise networks. The franchise began offering new territories in 1992, and franchisees operate in defined service areas supported by a proprietary product and manufacturing system.

Why buy a Bath Fitter Franchise?

Bath Fitter’s proprietary manufacturing model is a structural advantage for franchisees. Because the franchisor produces its own acrylic wall systems, tubs, and shower bases, franchisees are not dependent on third-party suppliers or open-market commodity pricing. This also means each location carries a consistent, branded product range that supports customer trust and repeat referrals.

The residential and commercial markets offer franchisees two distinct revenue paths. Alongside individual homeowner projects, Bath Fitter locations can build volume relationships with hotels, apartment management companies, and multi-unit property owners, where renovation needs often generate repeat business over time.

Bath Fitter – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Bath Fitter provides incoming franchisees with two weeks of initial training at the corporate facility, covering sales, installation, and operations. Separate programs address different roles: managers receive three days of classroom instruction plus hands-on practical training, while installation technicians complete ten days of skills-based training. Ongoing instruction and support are available via a dedicated company hotline. Resale buyers should confirm with Bath Fitter what initial training and product system access is provided to incoming ownership and any new staff hired during the transition.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Bath Fitter suits an owner comfortable managing a sales-driven local business that spans residential consultations and commercial account development. The day-to-day role involves overseeing installation technicians, coordinating project schedules, and building relationships with homeowners and property managers. Prior experience in home improvement, construction, or service-based sales is useful but not required; the franchise's training covers the technical product knowledge. Comfort with customer-facing sales and experience managing a small team are practical requirements.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Bath Fitter has built recognition over four decades as one of North America's most widely distributed bathroom renovation networks. The brand received the 2026 Consumer Choice Award for Bathroom Remodelling in the Canadian market, reflecting customer satisfaction across its regional franchise locations. Bath Fitter Manufacturing Inc. has been recognized as a Great Place to Work® Certified company. For resale buyers, brand recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local customer reviews, referral sources, and community reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US home remodeling market is supported by an aging housing stock and consistent homeowner spending on upgrades. Bathroom renovation is a frequently cited priority: Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies estimated Americans spent $603 billion on home remodeling in 2024. The category also benefits from growing demand for accessibility solutions, including walk-in showers and ADA-compliant fixtures, as the US population ages. Resale buyers should consider how the territory's residential and commercial demand, including hotel and multi-unit accounts, supports long-term revenue.
