Bathtub liners can create plumbing problems because the added thickness of the liner often requires an extension of the drain and overflow. This is a great idea and does offer the ability to take a bath without having to scrub it down first and/or spares you the time from having to scrub the bathtub down more often in between taking baths, as this bathtub liner keeps your bathtub clean longer. First, the old fixtures and drain fittings are removed, then the shell is inserted right over the old tub or shower unit, using silicone adhesives and two-sided tape. While most people believe bathtub inserts are an affordable alternative to refinishing, the truth is that liners are often significantly more expensive. Be aware that there’s no certification for bathtub restoration or for bathtub liners, so low-quality companies may try to pass off substandard work.To enable personalised advertising (like interest-based ads), we may share your data with our marketing and advertising partners using cookies and other technologies.

For example, if there are cracks or chips in their bathtub’s enamel, an insert can cover it up and make an old fixture look new again. It can be weeks or even months from the time you sign the contract with the installer you’ve chosen to the time you have your bathtub liner installed. The potential problems that will come from improper installation outweigh any potential savings you’ll realize from handling it on your own. The total cost to replace a tub liner will include costs associated with the labor of removing the old liner as well as the material costs for a new liner.

In other words, a tub liner is just another tub that is glued on top of your existing tub to make it look like new. Finish the installation: New drain, overflow, stopper, and faucet fixtures are installed, and the work area is cleaned up.
