It doesn’t take a contractor to make a bathroom remodel look better. You will only need a few simple tools and a little patience. The most challenging part of installing wood trim around the tub is getting the corners cut correctly and attaching it to the tub. This project can be completed by any homeowner who is willing to do it themselves.
Step 1
Measure around your bathtub and take all the measurements. Note down these dimensions along with a brief description to ensure you know which measurement corresponds to which.
Step 2
Put on safety glasses. Measure, mark, and place the molding in your miter saw at a 45° angle. You will need to cut the molding to fit around each dimension of your bathtub.
Step 3
Every piece of wood moulding should be placed in its proper place. This will ensure that each 45-degree angle forms a 90-degree angle.
Step 4
Allow the molding to adjust for 24 hours.
Step 5
Apply a small amount of construction adhesive to attach the wood molding to the tub. Apply a bead construction adhesive to the tub wall. After that, glue the wood molding in place. Allow it to dry for as long or overnight as required by the manufacturer before you use the tub.
