Is Tub Armor Too Short?

Is Tub Armor Too Short?

Mike, the founder of Tub Armor, sometimes hears the same concern from contractors and remodelers installing the product on their tubs:

“This cover looks too short for the tub.”

Whether it’s a plumber or contractor dropping it in after rough-in, a remodeler prepping for tile, or a tiler stepping in to work the surround — the truth is, Tub Armor is designed to leave the edges uncovered.

Why? Because the Tub Armor Tape is a key part of protecting the tub at the rim. Covering the tub edge-to-edge could cause issues if drywall or tile goes in after and traps the Tub Armor underneath. Taping down Tub Armor correctly and keeping it in place throughout the build process reduces the chance of damage or debris getting under the cover. It’s so satisfying to pull the Tub Amor tape and cover off at the end of the job to see a shiny scratch-free tub!

In this quick video, Mike shares a few real-world stories and shows how to install Tub Armor the right way — with tips that apply across different trades and project types.

So whether you’re a builder, a one-man remodeling crew, or a plumber trying to keep things protected, Tub Armor has your back.
