LPE is the only manufacturer of the mini-tubs that i know of, but why spend $1000 on something that you can do yourself for for less then $50 in materials and about 15 hrs of your time. Also most shops will charge you about $800+ for the install (on top of the $1K for the mini-tubs)...just trying to put everything into perspective for ya.

If you have any question feel free to ask.
