What is a Tub Inlay?

A fiberglass tub inlay is a panel of fiberglass reinforced material that is laid over your existing damaged tub floor. It is the answer to cracks, support issues, and leaking in your bathtub floor.

It is important to understand the difference between a tub inlay and a tub liner, because they are two completely separate products. A tub inlay covers the damaged tub floor only. A tub liner, by contrast, is installed over the entire tub. Blackstone Tub Refinishers installs tub inlays. We do not install tub liners.

Many older fiberglass and acrylic tubs develop cracks in the floor over time, often caused by the floor flexing under weight when the support underneath has deteriorated. A cracked tub floor is not just a cosmetic problem. Water can seep through cracks, causing damage to the subfloor and structure below the bathroom.

Blackstone Tub Refinishers supplies the inlay and installs it in your existing tub. This approach permanently addresses the cracking and support problem without requiring full tub replacement. The installed inlay creates a solid, stable, waterproof floor.

Tub inlays are one of the most cost-effective solutions available for a cracked or failing tub floor. They eliminate the need for full tub removal and replacement, which requires demolition, plumbing work, and significant expense.

About This Service

What Sets Tub Inlays Apart

Unlike simple crack repairs that may recur if the underlying support issue isn't addressed, a tub inlay provides a permanent, structural solution for tub floor problems.

Cost-effective — significantly less expensive than full tub replacement
The Advantages

Why Choose a Tub Inlay Over
Full Tub Replacement?

Permanent Fix
A tub inlay addresses the root cause of tub floor cracking, the loss of structural support beneath the floor. This is a permanent solution, not a temporary patch.
Much Lower Cost Than Replacement
Full tub replacement involves demolition, plumbing work, new materials, and reinstallation, a significant expense. A tub inlay addresses the problem at a fraction of that cost.
No Demolition Required
The inlay is installed directly over your existing tub floor. Your tub stays in place, no tearing out tile surrounds, no plumbing disconnection.
Stops the Leak
A cracked tub floor allows water to seep through, potentially causing damage to the subfloor and ceiling below. A tub inlay creates a waterproof floor that stops this problem.
Supplied and Installed
Blackstone Tub Refinishers supplies the fiberglass inlay and installs it. You don't need to source a separate supplier, we handle the complete service.
Completed in a Single Visit
In most cases, tub inlay installation is completed in one to two visits. We'll advise you on the specific timeline and any cure time required for your project.
