How to Install a Bathtub Skirt
Installing a bathtub skirt is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few hours. By following these steps, you can easily update the look of your bathroom and give your bathtub a more finished appearance.
Materials You'll Need:
- Bathtub skirt
- Screws
- Drill
- Measuring tape
- Level
- Pencil
Step 1: Prepare the Bathtub
Before you can install the skirt, you need to prepare the bathtub. Remove any old caulk or adhesive around the base of the tub. Clean the surface of the tub with a mild cleaner and allow it to dry completely.
Step 2: Measure and Mark the Skirt
Measure the length of the bathtub from one end to the other. Mark the center of the bathtub on the skirt. Align the center mark on the skirt with the center of the bathtub. Mark the holes on the skirt where the screws will go.
Step 3: Drill Pilot Holes
Use a drill to create pilot holes in the bathtub at the marks you made in the previous step. The pilot holes should be slightly smaller than the screws you are using.
Step 4: Attach the Skirt
Align the skirt with the pilot holes and insert the screws. Tighten the screws until the skirt is secure. Use a level to make sure the skirt is level.
Step 5: Caulk the Skirt
Apply a bead of caulk around the base of the skirt where it meets the bathtub. Smooth the caulk with your finger or a caulk tool. Allow the caulk to dry completely before using the bathtub.
Tips:
- Use a skirt that is the same color as your bathtub for a seamless look.
- If you have a freestanding bathtub, you may need to use a different type of skirt that attaches to the floor.
- Regularly clean the skirt with a mild cleaner to prevent mildew and soap scum buildup.
