Is this item designed for fiberglass tubes? I have a jacuzzi tube surrounded by tile. One side will be in the tube and the other side on tile.

Yes, I think this would be fine as long as it doesn't go over the 7-1/2 inches. I think it was a great buy and a very dependable product.

Yes this tub grab bar is padded inside where it touches the tub, making it scratch-free. It's wonderful, I have had mine now for over a year and I don't know what I did without it before.

I do not see why it would not work because it does not harm my tub in any way. It attaches by screwing the plates tight to the tub. It does not damage the tub in any way.

John,It has a handle that you use to tighten it. If you are concerned, don't apply to much pressure. However, you do need to have it tight enough to hold to lift you up. My mom is only 90 lbs. If you have some one that is 200 lbs then that is a different story. Place a cloth up against the tile before you tighten it. That should prevent less breakage. It's a great product for the $$. Good Luck.

While our setup is not like yours, I'm sure the device would work well. If you have a jacuzzi, you'd better measure the side of the tub to make sure it's not too wide for the bar to clamp on. If the side of your tub where the bar will be clamped is fiberglass, you really have to be careful tightening so as not to crack the fiberglass.

Yes, it opens up to 7 1/2" width and I purchased 3 of them - one on the fiberglass tub, one on the indoor stair case (clamped to the upright at the bottom step) and one outside on to assist on the single step down off of the outside deck (clamped onto the upright deck rail).

I have a Jacuzzi fiberglass tub, and it works beautifully. It will work on any tub that isn't round.

John,I don't think it would matter. I bought this for my mom and she has a ceramic bathtub. Just make sure it is flush on both sides and it's not real thick so you can get a good grip on it when you tighten it.

It will work on fiberglass, but I would be concern about it cracking your ceramic tile. Make sure the measurement of you tub is compatible.

Hi, I really couldn't answer this question, we have a concrete pool but a fiberglass finish inside. Sorry that I couldn't tell you!

Never tried it on fiberglass. Used it on porcelain toilet & sink. Not to impressed with it's claim to remove hard water stains though.

Sorry, we have only used it in fiberglass tubs. If it stains slightly I use clorox cleaner on it.

Nope, wish it did for fiberglass shower stalls but it will adhere to the stall due to the moisture of the shower.. It does have three magnets at the bottom (old school style) center and either corner. They work very well to weigh it down..

i would not know for sure but the purpose of this piece is to go directly into mud/cement in old walls. that being siad if t e tub surround is tight to the wall behind it I would give a shot. I think that is only way to be certain.

I don't have a jacuzzi, but I can't think of any reason the lift would not work. I have a deep soaking type tub, and the only thing that doesn't work are the side flaps. They are easy to remove, just slide off and I took them off. They will not support you without resting on the sides of a tub and they won't reach the sides of mine, the tub is too wide. I don't have any problem with that, however.

Donna it is not recommended for fiber glass tubs but I used a piece of the rubber gripper material under the grip parts. I'm talking about the rubber gripper material used under area rugs or even used under place mats to stop things from slipping. It seems to cushion it just enough. My mother in law has used it with no problems a little over 9 months. I hope you understand the material I'm speaking about.

I don't think so. The sides of the chair fold down and use both sides of the tube for support. Good for standard tubes but will not work if you cover the top edges of the tub. By the way, these chairs are outstanding. My mother has one at both our house and my brothers house when she visits there. They work perfectly.

Yes, but most use it on the alumin ones due to silicon caulk reacting with the Metal. You get a cheaper in cost not quality caulk to use on fiberglass.

I have installed this on a fiberglass tub for my mother and it works well for her. Mind you, she only weighs about 105 pounds!

I installed one on my tub surround (plastic) about two years ago and it is still hanging on. Not sure about fiberglass but shouldn't be much different than plastic. Make sure to follow the installation instructions - especially cleaning the surface prior to installing.

Hi Doug,I'm pretty certain it won't hurt the fiberglass in any way. The problem will be to have the stains exposed to a solution of super ironout for a long enough period of time for it to work completely. I principally use it to clean iron stains off of mineral specimens. I soak the specimens in a warm super ironout solution from 2 hours to overnight, depending.Good luck,Steve C.

I have only put them up on tile, however my best guess is that it will work on fiberglass. The first one I installed was up for over 15 years and was still there when I sold the house. If I were you, I would put it up.

The instructions clearly says that you have to file (or curve) ends of the bottom track so that there is no gap between the track and fiberglass shower. Do not force the track in. Sort of curve the edges by filing. Have patience. You do need to caulk the track later on. It is a well designed unit and easy to install.

Not at all, I used it on mine. I will caution you, however, to make sure you keep the rotation of the drill slow and don't linger in one spot too long. It can cause damage if you are not really careful, but I will say my fiberglass tub has never been cleaner. Just take your time and work slowly until you get a feel for the use of the drill brush..awesome product!
