If you’re searching for a reliable tub repair kit, you’re not alone—over 3,600 people a month are Googling it. But here’s the challenge: not all tubs are made the same, and most kits at the hardware store don’t work well across different materials. That’s why DIY Tub Repair Store developed a 3-level system that works on fiberglass, acrylic, and porcelain tubs—giving you professional-grade results no matter what your tub is made of.
Let’s break down what you need to know, what kit to use, and how to repair your tub for good.
What’s the Best Tub Repair Kit for Your Surface Type?
When it comes to tub materials, the most common types are:
- Fiberglass: Lightweight and common in newer homes
- Acrylic: Similar look to fiberglass, but more flexible and sensitive to heat/chemicals
- Porcelain: Heavy, durable, often found in older homes or cast iron tubs with a porcelain glazed finish
Most repair kits don’t explain which materials they work on—but ours do. Every DIY Tub Repair Store kit is tested and proven to work on all three surfaces. You’ll just need to match the kit to the size and type of damage.

Why Most Box Store Kits Fail (and Ours Don’t)
The average epoxy tub repair kit you find at a hardware store doesn’t hold up for long. They usually:
- Only work on one surface type
- Offer weak bonding and no structural support
- Come with minimal instructions and no expert suppor
-
Poor color matching
