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

I used it in a fiberglass tub drain but it nothing to help it drain better. Total waste of money. I followed the directions and even did it twice.

The package says can't use on aluminum. I guess it's okay to use on fiberglass, but be careful and rinse with a lot of water. This stuff is very strong and it's toxic.

I had no luck with this in my stainless steel sink. It is possible that it will adhere to your tub better, but I am skeptical. On the positive side it isn't that expensive and if it work that's great, if not think of it as an expensive cup of coffee.

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

If you have rust stains it works GREAT!! They go away almost instantly... I love it and use it on my fiberglass tub enclosure, my sinks and my toilets. Hope this helps...

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.

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.

Not sure... it's kind of like a very fine grade "soft soap". Depends on how bad the tub is, if there's any enamel coating left it will probably help but if the enamel shine has been worn almost down to the metal it probably won't yield the results your looking for. Won't make it any worse, though. You could try it on a small spot around the drain and see before trying to do the whole tub.

I used this in my fiberglass one. I applied a lot pressure to it as well and didnt have an issue. ..that being said tho I'd try an area thats not noticeable and apply pressure to make sure before you do the whole tub.

I have installed this on a fiberglass tub for my mother and it works well for her. Mind you, she only weighs about 105 pounds!

I can't answer this because we had an old enamel tub. It worked great on that. I would be afraid of the water and mold growing in the grout under the mat. Maybe someone else has tried it. Sorry!

Never tried it on fiberglass. Used it on porcelain toilet & sink. Not to impressed with it's claim to remove hard water stains though.

Yes, it is OK to use with a fiberglass tub. My tub is fiberglass and I've been using this for about a year. No problem.

I would not. This has a rare kind of acid in it. It is designed for fiberglass tubs/showers. As mentioned by others, it does have a very strong fume to it. But it is the only thing I've found that works great on my fiberglass tub to remove the mineral stains from my water. I would not use it on a painted surface.

I bought the wire mesh drainer that fits from corner to corner down in the sink. It works great. No scratches for me! However, I would think without any kind protection it would scratch over time.

I did my entire fiberglass tub with it. It's great. I cleaned the tub thoroughly until it sparkled, rinsed it and then washed again with rubbing alcohol.It will also work on steel tubs. Just make sure tub is clean before applying. Mine has been on for months now and there is no peeling!

Have not used it on fiberglass tub. However, Amazon return policy is great. I would try it , with taking care on tightening clamp and watch how is seems to be adjusting , watching both tub side and grab bar. I found after initial tightening to go back a tighten once again. I found it very safe, very handy, Think it might also depend on just how much weight you would be pulling against it from sitting position. If you just are going to use it to stabilize yourself getting into and out of the tub, should work for you. Very satisfied with mine. Just always use caution in and out of the tub with any product. Always check on clamp is tight. Try it! Have not used it on fiberglass tub. However, Amazon return policy is great.

We used it on a fiberglass shower with a bumpy surface. It works well, but needs to be reapplied after many uses. I would buy it again. It was worth it.
