## The honest read

This is the Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts franchise of Bath Fitter. On Houzz the company says it was started in 1995 as Bridan Corporation, an independently owned franchise co-owned by father and son J. Brian and J. Daniel Keating. On the BBB it describes its work as installing custom-made acrylic tubs and walls over existing fixtures, without demolition.

A recent Google customer wrote that the installers and plumbers disconnected and tore out a 1991 whirlpool tub/shower and installed a custom shower enclosure in one day; it was that customer's third time using BathFitter Rhode Island. A 2025 customer said Brooks facilitated a quick and affordable bathroom remodel for a new home. A 2025 customer with an older installation said someone in the office got back to them the next day with an appointment a couple of days out, and Chris fixed the problem.

A recent Google customer reports water dripping almost since the installation, mold growing under the caulking, and a promised call back from the office that never comes. A 2021 Houzz customer said their tub had become a "floater" for the second time, with water leaking between the original tub and the liner, and that the owner blamed them for pouring chemicals down the drain and using "unauthorized" silicon instead of admitting to a cracked liner.

On Google it averages 3.1 stars from 35 ratings, and the BBB lists it as accredited with an A+ grade.

**Strengths:**
- One-day shower swap — a recent customer said tub out, enclosure in, one day
- Quick repair visit — a 2025 customer got an appointment in a couple of days

**Concerns:**
- Dripping and mold — a recent customer reports leaks since installation and mold
- Unreturned calls — a recent customer says a promised call back never comes
- Liner leak dispute — a 2021 Houzz customer said water got behind the liner

**Where sources disagree:**
- The company's website says it has 40 years in business, while its Houzz profile says the franchise was started in 1995.
