How To Install Bathtub Panels

Installing bathtub panels is a relatively simple job that can be completed in a few hours with the right tools and materials. By following these step-by-step instructions, you can ensure that your bathtub panels are installed correctly and securely.

Step 1: Gather your tools and materials.

Before you begin, gather the following tools and materials:
- Bathtub panels
- Caulk gun
- Silicone caulk
- Level
- Measuring tape
- Pencil
- Utility knife
- Screwdriver

Step 2: Prepare the bathtub.

Begin by cleaning the bathtub thoroughly. Remove any dirt or debris that may interfere with the adhesion of the bathtub panels. Once the bathtub is clean, dry it completely.

Step 3: Apply the caulk.

Apply a bead of silicone caulk around the perimeter of the bathtub. Be sure to apply the caulk evenly and smoothly. Use your finger to smooth out the caulk and remove any excess.

Step 4: Install the bathtub panels.

Start by aligning the first bathtub panel with the edge of the bathtub. Press the panel firmly into place and secure it with screws. Repeat this process for the remaining bathtub panels.
Once all of the bathtub panels are installed, use a level to ensure that they are level. If necessary, adjust the panels until they are level.

Step 5: Finish the installation.

Apply a final bead of silicone caulk around the seams between the bathtub panels and the bathtub. Use your finger to smooth out the caulk and remove any excess. Allow the caulk to dry completely before using the bathtub.
