Replace or repair Bathtub and surround with liner?

[Michael Lauther]

Has anyone used bathtub liners to repair leaking and worn bathtub and surround. Is it more economical than removing old tub and replacing with new?

I am waiting for companies specializing in this type of repair and would be interested in hearing about anyone who have used this approach. Handyman is giving me a quote to replace tub and surround still not sure why replacement is recommended we re finished tub last year and surround needs to be replaced in any event.
