Oregon Re-Bath Customers will experience a mold and mildew free bathtub and shower system with regular maintenance using an approved cleaner. Keep in mind that soap, shampoo, body wash and bath gels can leave behind a residue on the surface of the Oregon Re-Bath materials.  This residue is porous and can allow mold and mildew to grow on its surface.  Remember, mold and mildew will grow on dirt, because it is porous. To prevent mold and mildew from accumulating, the bath area should be cleaned once a week with one of Oregon Re-Bath’s approved cleaners, like common household cleaner Formula 409 or Windex. You can also purchase Re-Bath tub and shower cleaner at one of our showroom locations.

 Using the appropriate cleaners and wiping the wall and tub surfaces down takes just a few minutes. No more scrubbing the tile and grout with a toothbrush or scrubbing a stained fiberglass unit with a tough sponge. To clean the sealant at the seams, simply moisten the area around the seams with one of the approved cleaners and then gently clean to remove any deposited residue, making sure not to press to hard

Consult the Re-Bath cleaning list  for a list of approved cleaners. Visit Oregon Re-Bath’s website to learn more about the non-porous easy to clean bathroom products.

Many of these Boomers are not ready to leave the comfort of their homes for retirement villages or assisted living facilities. According to the Administration on Aging, over 60 percent of older persons live in homes that are more than 20 years old and have every intention of staying. Oregon Re-Bath specializes in tub to shower conversions and walk-in tub systems that accommodate lifestyle changes and increase comfort in homes where limited mobility may be a factor.

The ‘aging in place’ market chooses to stay in their homes instead of opting for an assisted living situation, but unfortunately their houses were built during a time when mobility was not an issue and therefore do not accommodate them anymore. Oregon Re-Bath offers Baby Boomers the tub to shower conversion and walk-in tub options to accommodate for easier access. Oregon Re-Bath is dedicated to making clients’ new showers functional and beautiful and makes sure the transition is painless.

Savvy Boomers don’t have to sacrifice luxury elements when installing a highly functional bath. Innovative shower bases and wall surrounds eliminate the cost, mess and stress of a traditional tear-out and replacement. With safety in mind, Re-Bath also installs bathroom accessories including grab bars, shower seats and adjustable height shower heads.

 Re-Bath offers several remodeling options with safety in mind:

•  ADA approved grab bars allowing for easy entrance
• Shower or bathing seats allow for someone to sit down, eliminating the worry of falling down
• Hand held shower heads help to easily manage water flow and accommodates to different heights
• Tub-to-Shower options include easy access shower bases with low and minimum thresholds for wheelchair access
• Walk-In Bathtubs provide the comfort of bathing without stepping over a tall threshold

The company’s patented installation technology and inventory of 1,000 custom bathtub molds guarantee a perfect, watertight fit. Re-Bath products provide years of trouble-free and maintenance-free service.

While most baths and shower bases are made of acrylic, Re-Bath uses a proprietary approved and tested material called DuraBath SSP®. Manufactured by Spartech Corporation, the leading producer of engineered plastic and polymer products, DuraBath SSP® is lauded by industry insiders as a “Solid Surface Polymer that offers superior performance over competitors’ old acrylic/ABS products.”

Oregon Re-Bath offers remodel options including the tub-to-shower conversion and the walk in tub to allow Baby Boomers the option to continue to live their active lifestyles without having to move.

The more referrals generated by Oregon Re-Bath customers will increase the amount of money that is donated to the Dream Factory of Oregon and will help grant more dreams to chronic and critically ill children. Learn more about the Dream Factory of Oregon and how this volunteer, non-profit continues to help children with chronic and critical illnesses. During this time of year, many people consider writing checks to charities that they feel are deserving; however, sometimes this brings uncertainty as to if the contribution to a non-profit is used for the purpose it was raised. Oregon Re-Bath is partnering with The Dream Factory of Oregon, because 90% of the money that is donated is retained locally and will go directly to fulfilling the dreams of the children affected by illnesses.

Oregon Re-Bath was touched by the stories and testimonials from the children and families who have received dreams from the Dream Factory of Oregon. Read this touching testimonial by Joe Currall an seventeen year old boy who received a dream from Dream Factory of Oregon in September 2008.

“This is what the trip meant to me:
After my spinal chord surgery, I kinda got depressed because I had to just
sit around, and I felt TOTALLY useless. So when I got to go to this concert,
that perked me up a lot cause it gave me something to look forward to. But
meeting him was even more cool, and though it may sound selfish, it made me feel special, cause after all, how many people get to meet a really famous singer. Overall, it was an AWESOME trip, and visiting Texas, seeing the concert, and just getting to spend some time AWAY from all this medical stuff really relieved me!!! Thank you SO much for making this possible for me, and thank you for everything that you all do to make me and other kids happier!!!”

Oregon Re-Bath has considered several charities and feels that the Dream Factory of Oregon is very deserving of donations based on its volunteer’s commitment to helping children with critical and chronic illnesses in the local community. The Dream factory is the only children’s wish granting organization that does not limit its mission to children with life threatening illnesses. This organization inspires hope and relief for the children and their families who endure struggles from these illnesses each day. Oregon Re-Bath customers are encouraged to support this charitable cause by generating unlimited referrals that will result in a greater donation to this organization. Oregon Re-Bath customers can also choose to donate all or part of the 50 dollar referral checks that they receive from Oregon Re-Bath and will receive an official donation letter from the Dream Factory of Oregon for tax donation purposes.

Help Oregon Re-Bath raise money to grant more wishes to children. Donations will improve the quality of life for these children by granting them their dreams. Consider referring Oregon Re-Bath for all your bathroom remodel  needs and help critically ill children at the same time.

Homeowners Checklist:

• Licensed Contractors: You should always ask for a contractor’s license prior to hiring a contractor. Oregon law states that a contractor must be licensed, bonded and insured. The local contractor’s board websites provide useful information on license status, insurance information, any disciplinary actions, and other pertinent information. Visit http://www.oregon.gov/CCB/ for more information about Oregon contractors. Oregon Re-Bath is a registered contractor in Oregon (#6884) and Washington (OREGOR*939J6).
• Check Contractors History of Complaints: Research the States Construction Contractors Board websites to verify a contractor’s complaint history. (Visit www.hirealicensedcontractor.com in Oregon and https://fortress.wa.gov/lni/bbip/ in Washington.) The Better Business Bureau may be another source for checking a company’s complaint history. Oregon Re-Bath has an A+ rating with the BBB.
• Check References: Ask for a list of recent and past referrals. A referral is usually the best way to learn more about the workmanship, quality of the products installed and the overall remodel experience. When considering Oregon Re-Bath for a bathroom remodel project, ask to see an extensive list of past and present references.
• Verify Insurance: Ask to see copies of insurance for all contractors that you are considering for your project. Make sure a contractor carries workers compensation and general liability insurance. In hard economic times, some contractors may have lapses in their insurance. Customers can request a copy of insurance from Oregon Re-Bath.
• Length of time in business:  This is one aspect that will not always determine the quality of the contractor; however, it is a good indicator of a contractor’s abilities and quality of work.  Oregon Re-Bath has been remodeling bathrooms in the Portland Metro area since 2000.
