OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS

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

The creation of the Nu-Life Inlay System® was one of the greatest breakthroughs in the bathtub repair industry.

The Nu-Life Inlay System® was born when a professional bath & kitchen refinisher with years of hands-on experience saw there wasn’t a viable option to permanently repair cracked fiberglass bathtub & shower bottoms. 

Sure, you could re-support with foam or concrete, apply fiberglass cloth, and spray to color match, but that is a messy, itchy & time-consuming repair. Plus, the unit will ultimately crack again, so you can’t offer a warranty and also risk your reputation as a refinishing company with unsatisfied customers.

And so the Nu-Life Inlay System® was developed to offer professional refinishers a simple, yet incredibly effective solution for permanent fiberglass repair:

A custom-fabricated thermoplastic with a built-in nonslip surface that is permanently fused to a bathtub or shower bottom, offering a structural repair that is guaranteed to last the lifetime of the unit.

Our Nu-Life Inlay Kit has been time-tested for over 25 years and is the first (and only!) of its kind to offer the highest quality, commercial-grade repair for fiberglass, acrylic & plastic units. 

The Nu-Life Inlay Kit

Each Nu-Life Inlay Kit is custom-designed and computer cut to precisely fit the bathtub or shower unit. We can fabricate them in all shapes and sizes and will save your templates on file for easy re-ordering in the future.

The Nu-Life Inlay Kit comes with:

  •  Custom Nu-Life Inlay – made of a commercial-grade thermoplastic that is 1/16″ thick, with a 1/4″ taper around the border. They also feature a built-in hair-cell profile anti-slip for your customer’s safety.
  • Nu-Life Two-Part Fusion Adhesive – our proprietary two-part waterproof non-isocyanate adhesive was specially formulated for permanently bonding our substrate to the original gel coat fiberglass unit with minimal surface prep.
  • A mixing bucket, stir stick, spreader & rubber gloves
  • Nu-Life Limited Lifetime Warranty. When installed properly, the Nu-Life Inlay will never crack or de-laminate from the original surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Nu-Life Inlay System?
The Nu-Life Inlay system offers professional bath refinishers and other industry professionals with a permanent repair solution for cracked, worn, or leaking fiberglass bathtub & shower bottoms. Instead of doing a messy & time-consuming fiberglass repair or replacing the entire unit, our product offers a simple & effective option to permanently structurally repair fiberglass/acrylic/plastic/cultured marble units. It takes about one hour to install and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

How does it work?
Each Nu-Life Bath & Shower Inlay Kit includes a custom-made thermoplastic liner designed to fit the dimensions and shape of the bathtub or shower floor. It is installed with our proprietary two-part adhesive that creates a heat fusion reaction to permanently bond it to the bottom of the unit’s floor. Where other glues and adhesives are limited in their ability to hold under constant pressure and stress, our unique adhesive causes a chemical process that allows the inlay and the bathtub or shower floor to fuse together and become one surface. It’s a permanent structural repair that provides 3x the strength of the original bath or shower floor.

How is the Nu-Life Bath & Shower Inlay Kit different from other inlay products on the market?
The Nu-Life Inlay system has been time-tested for over twenty years and is the only commercial-grade quality inlay kit that exists. Other inlay kits sold in big box stores are mass-produced for residential or cosmetic use and lack the quality needed to permanently fix the structural issues of a tub or shower crack. They are essentially a band-aid that simply cover a problem without repairing it and they will come undone in time.

The Nu-Life Bath & Shower Inlay kit is not a temporary fix- it is guaranteed to last the lifetime of the bath or shower. Our specially-formulated adhesive was designed by a chemist to permanently fuse the inlay to the original gelcoat surface, so you never have to worry about the structural integrity of your bath and shower.

Is this the same product that is sold in Lowe’s and Home Depot?

No, this is not the same product. That product comes with a single tube of adhesive and doesn’t provide the same commercial-grade permanent structural repair of the Nu-Life Inlay system. We only sell our product directly through our manufacturing headquarters based in Jensen Beach, FL.

What colors do the Nu-Life Bath & Shower Inlay Kits come in?
Our bath & shower inlays are manufactured in China White and American Standard Bone. However, you can spray over our inlays to color-match once the installation has been completed. Wait about 30 – 40 minutes after the installation to allow the adhesive to cool down and spray away!  Be sure to just spray a dust coat over the inlay so you don’t lose it’s naturally built-in antislip.

What sizes do the Nu-Life Bath & Shower Inlay Kits come in?
Each Nu-Life Inlay is specially designed with our cutting-edge computer program to precisely fit the dimensions of the bathtub or shower floor. Please refer to our Measuring & Ordering Guide for specifics on how to best measure units, with visual samples to help.

Does this product have other uses besides bath & shower repairs?
Absolutely! We have had many customers use our inlays to fix fiberglass  pool steps or even boats!  Since we custom-design each order, we can ensure a seamless fit according to your specific needs. Plus, with the non-slip surface that coats each inlay, entering and exiting the pool or boat will be much safer than it was before.
