SPEC / CRK-01

Cracked floor repair

Spider cracks, splits, or punctures — sealed for good under a custom-cut inlay bonded with industrial adhesive. Stronger than the original floor.

SPEC / SFT-02

Soft floor reinforcement

A spongy, flexing floor means the support layer has failed. We fill the voids beneath and bond a rigid new floor on top — before it cracks through.

SPEC / LKS-03

Leak & hole sealing

Ceiling stains below the bathroom? A hairline crack moves gallons over time. One visit stops the leak at the source — no walls opened, no tile broken.

02 — Why an inlay

The same fix, minus the $5,000 and the demolition

A tub inlay is a heavy-duty floor, custom-cut to your tub's exact footprint and chemically fused over the damage. It's thicker and stiffer than the fiberglass it covers, with anti-slip texture built in — and it goes in without touching your walls, tile, or plumbing.

03 — Process

From cracked to cured in four steps

STEP 01

Assess & measure

We confirm your tub material, check the damage, and measure the floor, corners, and drain to the millimeter.

STEP 02

Custom-cut the inlay

Your inlay is cut to the tub's exact footprint, drain opening included. It fits like it came from the factory.

STEP 03

Prep & reinforce

We clean, abrade, and fill voids under soft spots so the inlay bonds to a solid, stable base.

STEP 04

Bond & cure

Commercial-grade adhesive fuses the inlay to the floor. Edges sealed, water-ready in 24 hours.

DIY kits — for comparison

$75–$200

Off-the-shelf kits exist, and for a small crack on an easy-access tub a handy homeowner can manage one. Be honest with yourself about the hard parts:

  • Trimming the sheet to fit corners & drain
  • Filling voids under soft spots correctly
  • Getting a void-free bond on the first try
  • No warranty if water gets underneath

Not sure which way to go? Ask us — if a kit genuinely covers it, we'll tell you.

They almost paid for a new tub

★★★★★
The plumber quoted us $4,800 to replace the tub and retile. The inlay was done in an afternoon, and honestly the floor feels sturdier than the rest of the tub now.
Sarah M.Homeowner · cracked floor
★★★★★
We manage 140 rental units, and a cracked tub floor used to mean a full replacement and a week of vacancy. Now it's a $400 line item and the unit turns over on schedule.
Marcus T.Property manager · 140 units

A cracked tub nearly sank my listing at inspection. The inlay cost my sellers $450 instead of a $6,000 repair credit — and we closed on time.
Whitney L.Realtor · pre-listing repair
★★★★★
Our tub floor had been spongy for a year and we kept putting it off. They filled the voids, bonded the inlay, and the bounce is completely gone. Should have called sooner.
Derrick & Ana R.Homeowners · soft-spot repair
★★★★★
Water was staining the ceiling below our bathroom. One visit, no demolition, leak gone — and the textured surface is a huge upgrade with two kids in the bath.
Priya K.Homeowner · leak sealed
★★★★★
My DIY kit peeled after four months. These guys stripped it out, prepped the surface properly, and backed the new inlay with a 1-year warranty. Lesson learned.

08 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is an inlay a permanent fix, or a band-aid?

Permanent. The adhesive chemically fuses the inlay to your original floor, and the sheet itself is thicker and stronger than the fiberglass it covers. Done properly, the repaired floor is more rigid than the tub was when it was new.

Which tubs can be repaired?

Inlays are ideal for cracks, holes, and soft spots on the floor of fiberglass and acrylic tubs and shower pans — the materials that flex and crack. Steel and cast iron tubs rarely crack, but if yours is chipped or worn we can assess the right repair.

Will it look like a patch?

No. The inlay is cut to the exact footprint of your tub floor, edge to edge, with a matched drain opening. It reads as a clean, uniform floor with a subtle anti-slip texture — most guests will never know it wasn't original.

How soon can we use the tub?

24 hours after installation the adhesive is fully cured and the tub is ready for normal use — baths, showers, kids, dogs, all of it.

My floor is just soft, not cracked. Should I wait?

Don't wait. A spongy floor means the support layer under the fiberglass has already failed — every shower flexes it closer to a crack. Reinforcing it now is the same price as fixing it later, minus the water damage underneath.
