That's a fair question. Bath Fitter and Mad City Bath are well-known bathroom remodeling companies, and tile contractors have been around forever. But not every bathroom system is built the same. Before you choose, compare the differences that matter most.

Litchfield and Meeker County homeowners have the same challenge most central Minnesota homeowners have: hard water. Municipal water and private wells throughout Meeker and Kandiyohi counties are high in calcium and iron. These minerals are the reason tile grout turns permanently orange and brown — and the reason Onyx Collection solid-surface is far more practical for this region than conventional tile.
Onyx is non-porous. Iron and calcium deposits that permanently embed in tile grout simply wipe off an Onyx surface. There is no grout to seal, no caulk to replace, and no re-grouting needed over the lifetime of the installation. For Litchfield homeowners who have spent years trying to keep tile grout looking acceptable, switching to Onyx eliminates the problem permanently.
Tub-to-shower conversions with accessible features — low-threshold entries, grab-bar-ready wall backing, built-in bench seats — are among the most requested projects across the Litchfield and Meeker County market. Many homeowners plan these upgrades now, before a mobility issue makes it urgent.
Onyx Collection is a particularly strong accessible shower option because grab-bar backing is built into the wall structure from the start — not retrofitted into whatever happens to be behind the wall. The result is a solidly anchored grab bar system combined with a beautiful, non-porous surface that stays clean without scrubbing.
Litchfield and Meeker County sit in the heart of central Minnesota's agricultural region — an area where well water and municipal water alike carry elevated levels of calcium and iron that make grout maintenance an ongoing battle. Homeowners across this region have spent years trying to keep bathroom tile looking acceptable, and most eventually reach the same conclusion: tile grout in hard-water environments is a maintenance burden that never resolves.
The science is straightforward. Tile grout is porous. Minerals in hard water absorb into the material over time. Once iron or calcium has set into grout, no cleaning product removes it — the discoloration is permanent. The only solution with tile is to regrout, which is disruptive, expensive, and temporary. Onyx non-porous solid-surface does not absorb minerals. Hard water deposits wipe off cleanly. The maintenance difference is significant over a 10- or 20-year period.
Litchfield's location on US Hwy 12 puts it at the crossroads of west-central Minnesota's residential communities — Hutchinson, Dassel, Cosmos, Grove City, Howard Lake, Winsted, and Willmar are all within a reasonable service radius. Our Hwy 12 showroom makes it practical for homeowners across Meeker and Kandiyohi counties to see Onyx Collection materials in person before committing to a project.
The accessible shower category is particularly active in this region. Tub-to-shower conversions with low-threshold entries and grab-bar-ready wall backing have become standard requests for homeowners who want to plan ahead for long-term safety. Installing accessible features during a remodel is far less costly and disruptive than retrofitting a finished bathroom later — and Onyx provides the most structurally sound grab-bar anchoring available in any shower system.

Hard water. Meeker and Kandiyohi county water is high in calcium and iron — minerals that permanently absorb into porous tile grout and cannot be removed. Onyx solid-surface is non-porous. Mineral deposits from hard water wipe off cleanly instead of embedding. Beyond water chemistry, Onyx requires no grout sealing, no caulk replacement, and no re-grouting over its lifetime. For central Minnesota homeowners who have dealt with hard water and tile grout for years, this is a permanent solution to an ongoing maintenance problem.
Yes. Low-threshold entries, grab-bar-ready wall backing, built-in bench seats, and handheld showerhead configurations are all standard Onyx Collection options.
