Product Finish and Use
The finish should be smooth and may be slippery. If slipping is a concern you should use a shower mat without suction cups and remove the shower mat when not using it to let the repair dry between uses. The best way to get the longest life out of your repair is to let it dry between uses and not keep it perpetually wet.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 54 reviews.
Repair went very well, product worked as advertised, and instructions were reasonably easy to follow. Only minor complaint is that the sprayer was a bit tough to operate, but nothing that significantly slowed down the repair. The shower looks great now!
After remodeling my mom’s bathroom, I removed the protective plastic off her new tube, only to find spider cracks on the corner. The only options were to rip out the tub, tile and wall board, or try to repair the tub. I went with the repair… that was a no brainer. The repair instructions and the videos online were informative and easy to follow. I’ve used Bondo in the past, and this filler is very similar. Take your time, and feel the surface for imperfections before putting on any paint. As you can see, my repair was in the corner, so the sanding was mainly done by hand. After the primer and paint, I was able to use the provided small swatches of sandpaper to make it smooth and shiny. You do have to work at it a bit when it comes to the final polishing… if your repair looks dull, keep sanding wetting the surface. By the way, I did not have to fuss with the paint color. It was a perfect match right out of the jar. After all the work I did to remodel the bathroom, I decided to spend more for this repair kit, then to buy a standard spray paint at the big stores that had mixed reviews… and I’m glad I did. I’m very happy with the results of this kit.
Our tub is fairly new. We chipped it accidentally and were so distraught after ruining our brand new spa like tub. We visited the local box stores and smaller hardware stores for advice on chip repair. None of the advice we received or products offered seemed reliable. There was no product we could find that would both fill and seal the chip as well as restore the color of the chipped area. We found Tub Repair Store on YouTube. Honestly, we felt that it couldn’t be as straightforward or easy or successful as the videos made the repair kit seem. I am happy to report the kit materials are of extremely high-quality! Tub Repair Store gives you more product than you need. Also, we received additional helpful items like extra pairs of gloves and extra bottles for mixing and extra aerosol cans. We were provided printed, clear, easy to follow directions as well as tips and tricks. All of that on top of the expected items. The solution was easy to mix, easy to apply, and visibly durable. The color matching was straightforward and successful. You would never know there was a chip in our tub. 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone.

Store owner replied:
Hey John nice work!! Thanks so much!
I've never done anything like this before so I took my time. It was a fun challenge to
Match the color but I enjoyed the process and got a great match. I had to purchase a new air sprayer but after that, it went well. Such an improvement to the tubs. I had enough product to repair two tubs. Unfortunately , I don't have before pictures to the tub that had multiple chunks out of the porcelain. My husband was so impressed with the results!!
For around 400 US, I was able to PERMANENTLY repair the cracks in my tub; by far a better alternative than the 1700 US quote I was given by a local company to do the same thing!
I had a very large "chunk" on the corner of my tub from a glass block hitting it during a remodel demolition. Product was recommended when contractor came to look at it. Easy to use. Extremely impressed at how comprehensive the kit was and with the final result. Highly recommend this product!
Was very Leary at first. Didn’t want to drill holes in the tub. Once started things went great. The tub color match went great. You can’t even tell where I patched it I would highly recommend it. Saved me thousands
AMAZING repair kit and instructions, so glad I bought it! This hole had been taped up for over a year, closer to two. I even had a little 20 dollar repair kit from Amazon to patch it, but I just couldn't bring myself to start working on it and had little hopes that the repair would be decent.
Finally started researching shower repair more in depth and stumbled across a YouTube video from the Tub Repair Company. Visited the website and saw so many positive reviews so I took a chance and bought the large wall repair kit. So glad I did!!
I'm a pretty handy gal but I had no idea how I was going to fix this with the cracks running across 2 tile lines and still make it look good. Somehow it worked out. I watched the video at least three times and then watched it again as I went, pausing between steps. I even reached out beforehand via text to get advice on how to work with the tile lines, and the response was super prompt and helpful.
The only thing I would have done differently is mixed up less product at a time and worked in sections since it was a larger repair due to the cracks.... Especially with the finish putty because you have less time to work it before it hardens. But it all worked out fine and sanding took care of any imperfections from the rush to get it all covered.
The tile lines, while being difficult, actually worked in my favor with the paint job because I used them to tape off and I didn't have to worry about fading the paint into the rest of the wall. The gray white paint was as close to an exact match a person could get, didn't even have to blend colors. I had zero issues with the paint system and have plenty of paint left over.
I had plenty of product too; would have had a lot more left over if I didn't mix up more than I needed at first.
I'm still waiting for the final cure and sanding but I know it's going to look even better than it does now so I'm super happy and can confidently leave a five-star review.
I haven't been this impressed with a product in a long time. So glad I stumbled on that YouTube video by the Tub Repair Company!
Excellent product. Make sure you get a respirator, I regretted not having one as vapors are strong. If you have your sprayer squirt at first and then quit, your mixture is too viscous. Add a little more reducer and it will start spraying nicely. Would suggest a little more reducer and catalyst per kit. I ended up using it all for 3 ounces of paint mix. If I had to delay repair, I would not have enough for second attempt. Otherwise, ample putty and hardener. Ample paint resin. Ample supplies. Very proud of final result.
Store owner replied:
Thanks Eugene! Yes we strongly recommend a respirator! These products are not to be taken lightly. 3 oz of resin is a very large batch of coating. A repair like this would have taken 1.5 - 2 oz of resin. We give you enough catalyst and reducer to mix up to 4 oz of resin; however, that much coating is much more area than our kits are designed to repair.
A big shout out for the followup details to ensure I had enough as well as the right products to do such a large repair. Worked perfect!
My first time doing this type of repair for a customer and it was very easy to do. I just followed the directions provided. I'm adding this skill to my list of services for my handyman business.
I ordered the wrong kit but was helped with finding the additional material to complete a hole repair. I really commend the customer service of this company because it was late into the evening and I was near ready to quit but was motivated by the assistance I received. They kit worked seamlessly and as you can see from the picture an inexperienced person can produce quality work using the videos available on their website. The only issues I had was that the paint system they provided was a little temperamental but ultimately work in the end. I would also recommend advise on what to do if you have dripping over spray.
This kit can be a life saver and can be used multiple times depending on how big of a repair you have.
Be blessed.
After unfortunately dropping a ceramic tile while installing my shower. I have a 1 1/2 inch and a half by 1/4 inch hole in the edge of the shower. I contacted Tub Repair to ask question. I had fantastic support from Clayton who responded quickly to my emails. With kit #1, I managed to repair my shower base and restore it to its original color. A big thank to you
I had 2 small holes and a rust stain on the base. The color looks exact to the bone color of the tub.i tried this a few years ago with another brand that took a few days to accomplish, but still couldn’t match the color. Thanks
Its a fantastic kit, and includes most of what you need. However, the air brush portion plugged very quickly and wasn't able to get the finish correct. I'll pick up an airbrush kit and redo the painting portion. Meanwhile, I brush painted it on, then sanded it to smooth it out.
Its really my only complaint. But i would buy the kit again.
I feel like it is a very good repair kit. Used them twice now (unfortunately). Yes a little spendy but honestly cant ask for a better repair kit or better customer service. Worth every penny in my mind. Compared to ripping out and redoing a bathroom very good product.
I’m not skilled with my hands but this repair went very well. It’s not a cheap repair kit but well worth the money as you can’t even tell there were two big holes in the tub unless you look very closely.
Perfect. I cant take credit. My handyman told me about it and said he would do it if I ordered. He spoke very highly of your product. Between your product and his skill, you can't tell that there were ever holes there (i replaced an old shower door)
Repair of hairline cracks and one screw head sized hole was a total success. I can't see or feel where it is. I was worried that color matching and texture would be terrible but the colors provided were plenty to get to the perfect shade. YouTube instructions were vital. Few things missing: 1) Remind to knead the hardener tube, 2) Whether it's necessary to re-sand and re-prime if another coat is needed after paint cured. 3) How to feather edges when using bondo since it hardens so quickly. 4) Add 120 sandpaper to sand down the bondo prior to painting.
One option on what to improve- warn in advance of need for respirator. Two- loudly clarify that the mustard colored sandpaper is What should be used in initial sanding process. I thought I was meant to be used with orbital sander. Yes my bad —but better clarification would be appreciated. So my repair ended up not have nearly the smoothest finish as it should have.
Super user friendly. Had some issues with the stapler getting it to spray evenly but eventually figured it out. Probably the best bath tub fixing option I’ve used
The color match process was great, but the spray system did not work, even with the extra canister it didn’t work. I went through the trouble shooting guide, still no luck. I ended up using a fine paint brush which works pretty good. All in all it turned out ok.
