A joint for a molded tub and surround which is formed of a multiple of portions. Mating wall surfaces are formed on both wall portions which extend generally parallel to the wall portions. An outer generally trapezoidal pair of surfaces are formed laterally spaced from the joint to engage a pair of parallel engagement surfaces substantially perpendicular to said first and second wall portions, and an angled engagement surface between said parallel engagement surfaces. One or more clips are received on the trapezoidal surfaces to further urge the surfaces into contact. The clip biases the two wall portions into contact such that there is a water tight seal at the joint.

A shower stall is vacuum formed with excess height and with two horizontal raised bands. Horizontal cuts are made at the lower boundary of the bands and the cut sections are treated so that each lower section may be overlapped behind the band location of the upper section in the reassembled stall. When other techniques than vacuum forming are used, the sections similar in shape to the cut and and treated sections above may be separately made for reassembly in the same manner.
