Our BATHBONDS Bathtub & Shower Inlay Repair Kits are engineered with a high-quality, commercial-grade PVC thermoplastic inlay designed to repair and strengthen cracked or damaged bathtub and shower floors. Each kit includes our exclusive two-part PERMABOND adhesive, a specially formulated bonding solution that activates with heat to create a permanent chemical fusion. This unique bonding process ensures a strong, durable seal that permanently adheres the inlay to your bathtub or shower floor. Unlike traditional repair methods, BATHBONDS inlays will never crack, delaminate, or peel off, providing a reliable, long-lasting bathtub and shower repair solution. It’s a one-and-done fix that you can trust!

BATHBONDS bathtub and shower inlay kits are designed for easy installation on fiberglass, acrylic, plastic, and cultured marble bathtub or shower floors. These inlays provide a durable, long-lasting repair solution for cracked or damaged surfaces.

However, please note that BATHBONDS inlay kits cannot be installed on refinished or painted bathtub or shower floors.

To ensure a strong, permanent bond, any refinished areas must be sanded down to restore the original gelcoat surface. This step allows the adhesive to properly adhere, ensuring the lasting repair that BATHBONDS is known for.

Installing a BATHBONDS Bathtub and Shower Inlay Repair kit is a straightforward process that most handy homeowners can complete with ease. The installation itself typically takes about an hour from start to finish, though preparing the surface of your tub or shower will take the most time.

The key to a successful installation is our two-part PERMABOND adhesive, which works similarly to PVC glue by fusing the items together. Once you mix Part A and Part B, together you’ll have a 20-minute maximum working window to install the inlay before the adhesive permanently cures. To ensure a smooth process, be sure to have all your materials and tools prepped and ready before mixing the adhesive.

By following our installation instructions, you will achieve a professional-quality repair with lasting results.

At BATHBONDS, we offer our inlays in two popular color options: China White and American Standard Bone.

For a more precise color match, we recommend reaching out to a professional bathtub refinisher in your area to spray your bathtub after completing the inlay installation. This step ensures a flawless, custom finish that blends perfectly with your bathtub or shower's original color.

No, BATHBONDS is not the same as other bathtub inlay repair kits you may see in stores like Lowe's and Home Depot. Other inlay kits (sold with only one tube of glue, resembling caulk) may offer temporary cosmetic fixes, but they often fail to provide a permanent repair solution. Many of these kits simply cover the crack with a plastic sheet or mat and use a tube of caulk to stick it in place.

This will ultimately fail! If the inlay isn't bonded to your bathtub or shower floor, the crack is left unresolved beneath the surface. Water can still seep under the mat, potentially causing further damage that may not be visible until it's too late.

BATHBONDS inlay kits feature a commercial-grade PVC thermoplastic and use our exclusive two-part PERMABOND adhesive, which heats up and creates a permanent chemical fusion. This process bonds the inlay securely to the bathtub or shower floor, providing a long-lasting and structural repair that will never crack, delaminate, or peel off. With BATHBONDS, you're not just covering the crack; you're repairing it for good.

When installed correctly following the provided instructions, a BATHBONDS bathtub and shower inlay offers a permanent repair solution. Our unique, specially-formulated adhesive triggers a chemical reaction that permanently bonds the inlay to your bathtub or shower floor. This bond is incredibly durable and will never crack, peel, or delaminate. With BATHBONDS, you’re not just covering up damage—you’re creating a stronger, long-lasting surface with added non-slip protection, giving your bathtub or shower floor a brand-new, resilient finish that stands the test of time.
