Check Out Fiberglass Tub Inlays and How They Work

The Confusion About Tub Inlays

Tub inlays are not to be confused with tub liners, because they only cover the flat, floor area of the tub. Blackstone tub inlays offer a more permanent solution to cracked fiberglass, acrylic, and certain cultured marble tub and shower floors. Especially those with holes in them. No more sagging or spongy floors to worry about and no more leaking tubs and showers. You can have your tub floor repaired by having the Blackstone tub inlay installed on to your acrylic or fiberglass tub or shower floor, at a fraction of the cost of buying a new tub.

How Are Fiberglass Tubs And Showers Made

Because these tubs and showers are made on a mold and can present challenges that are not always visible during production. Some of these challenges manifest themselves as spider cracks, air pockets or the more technical term is called a void. They are usually found in the floor by the drain, or in the rounded areas of the tub or shower unit.

Blackstone tub inlays are a great option with acrylic and fiberglass tubs and showers that do not have enough support under tub floor. Even during the installation stage, no additional support is added. Obviously, over time the floor area begins to break down, delaminate, or totally gives out. Consequently the floor begins to crack and eventually these cracks will become large enough that the tub or shower starts to leak. This will cause considerable water damage to the rest of the home.

Why Fiberglass Tub Inlays Are A Great Option?

  • Tub inlays are not required for a small repair area. With larger fiberglass repairs, there is always the possibility that the repaired area could crack again. This in turn could become expensive and very frustrating for the customer as well the company doing the repair. More repair options.
  • Another alternative is to tear out the tub or shower. Then you are into an expensive bathroom renovation costing you $3500.00 to $10,000. You are now replacing drywall, tile, floor coverings possible plumbing issues, paint. The list could go on depending on the bathroom. Discover more:
