Preparation Steps

Since a new bathtub liner is installed over the existing tub, the old tub needs to be carefully prepped to remove soap scum, oil and other debris. Its fixtures also need to be removed so the new liner can be slipped into place.

Bathtub Liner Installation Costs

The cost of installation varies based on the type of liner being installed. A full system, which covers the wall as well as the tub, costs more than a liner that only covers the tub. Some full systems have options for built-in storage areas and shelving, which can further increase the cost. The amount of preparation needed on the existing tub is another factor to consider.

Consult a Plumber

Liners cover up an old bathtub’s problems, rather than fixing them. Homeowners must be sure that the issues they’re concealing are merely cosmetic, such as scratches and stains. More serious problems, such as moisture around the existing tub that is sealed in place by a tub liner, can cause more damage. Liners must be installed accurately, or water can get between it and the old tub, which can result in mold growth. To avoid an undesirable outcome, homeowners are advised to consult a plumber before beginning this project.
