Will it damage fiber glass tubs?

The warning label inside says" "To avoid possible damage, test tub/shower surface in an inconspicuous spot. Some fiberglass, other plastic or refinished surfaces may also be affected." Our tub liner is plastic and this stuff didn't hurt it a bit, but fiberglass ... I'd be sure to test it first.

It says "not for plastic or acrylic" so I would assume that it should not be used on fiberglass.

I think this can work on a fiberglass tub IF the tub does not flex too much as the clamp is tightened. Mine was used on a standard cast iron tube, so the clamping was certain.

I know somebody that removed it from fiberglass - they used a plastic paint scrapper - it took some effort but it did not damage it. May be able to use wd40 or some other adhesive remover to make it easier. I have not tried to remove mine yet and I have a porcelain tub.

I've been using it on a fiberglass tub for 6 months without a mark. Just make sure you use a cleanser that doesn't have any type of grit. Cleansers like Soft Scrub shouldn't be used with this.

I only use it for the toilets. I think it would scratch plastic/fiberglass.

I am not sure, but be aware that it is quite heavy and because of that I would not try it in a fiberglass tub...cast iron might be OK.

If you have a fiberglass or plastic type tub, this product will stain it. These type tub and sinks stain very easily I wouldn't have one of this material for this very reason. Have a resin sink in our laundry room and it's a mess with stains and you can't get them off

I have used Thrift in my fiberglass tub drain for several years. To date I have had no problems. Hope this helps.

No, Absolutely not. You need a liquid epoxy or polyester resin specifically for fiberglass work. This is thick and filled with powdered steel.

I'm sure it could. The mounts are adjustible with an included tool to tighten it to the edge of the tub. But if your fiberglass tub feels "flimsy" when weight is applied to the product, I wouldn't attach it especially if the person using it is on the heavy side.

I would think so as long as there is a rim to attach the bar. My tub is ceramic and absolutely no problem. It's a wonderful safety bar--two grabbing areas--need to be certain it is tightened as much as it can be. Perhaps you're concerned that the fiberglass might crack?? How about cushioning it with rubberized netting--used as kitchen drawer liners, also under rugs that could skid.

My guess is that it would scratch a ceramic tub. If you buy it, I recommend you use a rubber mat under it.

It won't damage the tub. The only thing you will need to make sure is the size that can fit in your tub.

No...it's not for fiberglass, it's for porcelain tubs. Try googling 'fiberglass tub repair.'
