Bathtub Surround Installation - Tips for Success

▷▷▷Bathtub Surround Installation - Tips for Success

Recently I attended the small project to install a new tub surround in our bathroom. Picture of the piece of plastic extension of three surrounded on the sides of the tub or shower.

most difficult part of the project was the removal of old pieces. This is because the surround glue sticks and glue does not let go at the bottom very well. Keep in mind when installing the new.

As always pull out the big boys, it's just a matter ofScrape scrape and smaller pieces until they fall and all you can see what's behind all this.

In my case, the expectation was to see the water damage and mold behind the surround. Fortunately, this was not the case. Little or no damage was evident, especially because the surround was removed actually installed on a wall older.

Once everything was clean and dry, install the new one could progress.

Installation really only trimnew surround plastic pieces to fit and then glue the parts in place.

The first challenge is to assemble the parts. The length must be the right size and is very easy. Just cut the protruding part to realize that size does not have to close because it has to cover to overlap a bit '.

The trim level presents a greater challenge. The must is because slope pans and the bottom of the tub surround the line with the slope. Veryimportant, otherwise there will be gaps between the tub and surround, which creates visual chaos and chaos for the water to penetrate. So look carefully to fit the tub surround.

Do not ignore the top of the frame or because the slope of the basin also affects the upper parts of the surround-like in shape. I ignored that part but got the bottom fits perfectly. As a result of the tip of the plastic parts are not exactlya game, but not so bad. Trim cover, if you wanted to use trim.

Here is another thing. It takes more than a sticker, instructions for calls to make. The adhesive is expensive. Figure on at least a couple of extra pipes and tubes, three more than required. This amount depends on how the road is rough, but it takes a lot of glue.

Even with the extra adhesive, surrounded my crossing has shifted a bit 'loose on one of, come back soonfor another tube of glue.

Tub surround system seems easier than it actually is. Like what happens on a regular basis, get the clean-up and details can be again.
