OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS

We have changed the bathtub repair industry with our cutting-edge manufacturing technology.

The Nu-Life Inlay System® is one of the most significant advancements in the bathtub repair industry, providing a permanent, reliable solution for cracked fiberglass tubs and shower bottoms.

Developed by a professional bath and kitchen refinisher with years of experience, the Nu-Life Inlay System® was born out of necessity.

Traditional fiberglass repair methods—such as re-supporting with foam or concrete, applying fiberglass cloth, and color-matching with spray—were messy, uncomfortable, and time-consuming. Worse yet, these fixes were temporary, often leading to future cracks and dissatisfied customers, leaving refinishers unable to offer warranties and risking their reputation.

To solve these persistent issues, the Nu-Life Inlay System® was designed specifically for professional refinishers as a game-changing, permanent repair option for cracked fiberglass. This custom-fabricated thermoplastic inlay, with its built-in nonslip surface, is permanently fused to the bottom of the bathtub or shower, providing a structural reinforcement that’s guaranteed to last the lifetime of the unit.

For over 25 years, the Nu-Life Inlay Kit has been the industry’s top choice for fiberglass, acrylic, and plastic units. As the first and only commercial-grade solution of its kind, the Nu-Life Inlay System® ensures a long-lasting, high-quality fix that professional refinishers and homeowners can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Nu-Life Inlay System?

The Nu-Life Inlay System is a permanent repair solution for cracked, worn, or leaking fiberglass bathtub and shower bottoms, designed for professional bath refinishers and contractors. Rather than dealing with a messy fiberglass repair or replacing the entire unit, our custom inlay provides a simple, effective way to structurally repair fiberglass, acrylic, plastic, and cultured marble bathtubs. Installation takes about an hour, and every inlay comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

How does the Nu-Life Inlay System work?

Each Nu-Life Bath & Shower Inlay Kit includes a custom-made thermoplastic liner that fits the exact dimensions of your bathtub or shower floor. It’s installed using our proprietary two-part adhesive, which creates a heat fusion reaction that permanently bonds the inlay to the tub or shower floor. Unlike other adhesives that can fail under pressure, our unique adhesive chemically fuses the inlay and the floor into one seamless, durable surface. This repair is three times stronger than the original floor, providing a permanent structural fix.

What makes the Nu-Life Inlay Kit different from other inlay products?

The Nu-Life Inlay System has been time-tested for over 20 years and is the only commercial-grade inlay kit on the market. Unlike mass-produced inlay kits from big-box stores that are primarily cosmetic, our product is engineered to permanently repair structural issues in fiberglass and acrylic bathtubs and showers. While other kits may simply cover the problem and eventually fail, the Nu-Life Inlay is guaranteed to last the lifetime of the unit. Our specially-formulated adhesive permanently fuses the inlay to the surface, providing unmatched durability and peace of mind.

Is the Nu-Life Inlay the same product sold at Lowe’s or Home Depot?

No, the Nu-Life Inlay System is not the same as the inlay products sold at Lowe’s or Home Depot. Those kits come with a single tube of adhesive and are not designed for permanent, structural repairs. The Nu-Life Inlay System offers commercial-grade, lifetime repair, and we only sell our product directly from our manufacturing headquarters in Jensen Beach, FL.

What colors are available for the Nu-Life Bath & Shower Inlay Kits?

Our bath and shower inlays are available in China White and American Standard Bone. If you need a different color, you can easily spray over the inlay after installation to achieve a color match. Wait 30-40 minutes after the adhesive cools down, then apply a light coat of spray to maintain the inlay’s built-in anti-slip surface.

What sizes are available for the Nu-Life Bath & Shower Inlay Kits?

Each Nu-Life Inlay is custom-designed using advanced technology to perfectly fit the dimensions of your bathtub or shower floor. For detailed sizing instructions, check out our Measuring & Ordering Guide, which includes visual aids to help you measure accurately.

Can the Nu-Life Inlay Kit be used for other repairs besides baths and showers?

Absolutely! Our inlays are versatile and have been used to repair fiberglass pool steps and even boats. Since we custom-design each inlay, we can create a perfect fit for any specific need. Plus, with the built-in non-slip surface, our inlays improve safety when entering and exiting pools or boats.
