Need help tracking down tub surround walls

Oversize round tub in corner makes custom size not found in kits.

Left wall is 39". Back wall 60" Right wall 58"

Standard 60" height is fine.

Have not been able to find anyone that can do these sizes.

OK, all ribbing aside... couldn't you just buy an oversize fiberglass wall and cut it to size?

Yes, I could but that would mean buying two kits.

Quite a waste of money and material.

What you're looking for is either going to require getting two kits, or getting a custom job done, both will cost you quite a bit more than a normal kit. Most don't have one wall larger than the other, especially at those sizes. I know that HD doesn't carry any in stock, but the company that we get our surrounds from can custom build them, you'd have to go talk to either a Bath Designer or someone at the Pro Desk and ask them about a custom order. It'll take time and cost a bit more though, neither of which it sounds like you have.

Yes, I consulted with Lowes.

Turn time is minimum of 28 days and biggest they can do is 34" when I really need 58".

Looks like two kits is only option.

Two kits won't work because they only go to 31 1/2 on the side. My short side is 39".

previously you said you would have excess if you bought two kits. would there be enough excess to make the sides look nice?
