Tub Protection

platinumLLC

I remember reading sometime ago about a tub liner or a coating that you can put on a tub for protection during construction. I tried searching for the last hour but can not find it. Figured i would post it here in the tile section, figured they would be used most for tiling surronds. Does anyone know of a product or share what they use for protecting the tub when they install a tile surrond? Thanks

I think this is it?
But, be sure to talk to them
on the telephone before you order.
After waiting 3 weeks for an order
last winter, I called and then they
told me they wouldn't ship when the
temperature was below freezing.

I've tried everthing. Nothing beats a piece of plywood (especially during demo). Your standard 3 wall surrounded tubs are all the same size so the same piece of plywood fits them all. When the tub is different, then heavy tarps.

Try this:

as soon as the plumber installs the tub, cut the box to cover the top and face. Cut the box 2" short of the wall width (1" each end) so it wont get buried by sheetrock. Then cut a piece of plywood and set it on top of the tub. make it the depth of the tub and 2" short of the length.

That way, guys can stand on the plywood. If you don't put plywood there, guys will stand in the tub.

I also use a piece plywood wrapped with carpet on the underside. The plywood gives a nice little work area/bench. Just chuck it after the job.
