Per the item description: "Fits most tubs (not for use with fiberglass tubs)."

I have the old metal tub covered in porcelain and the clamp is very tight. I would not recommend tightening it on a fiberglass tub tight enough to be a good support. So, my answer is "no". The manufacturer might have another type of clamp that could be tightened.

We have had fiberglass tubs before and the current tub is steel. I don't believe it would be safe to use on fiberglass because if you don't tighten the screw tight and secure, it wouldn't be of any value for safety. I believe it might damage a fiberglass tub.

Yes, that's where I have it. If it has straight sides it works better. It has a very, very firm grip. No need to worry that it will slip if it's tightened enough. I didn't notice that the description said not to use it on fiberglass. I guess you shouldn't if they say so (just for legal reasons if you have a problem) but mine works just fine.

I think this can work on a fiberglass tub IF the tub does not flex too much as the clamp is tightened. Mine wasused on a standard cast iron tube, so the clamping was certain.

No, this is for gel coat repairs and dings. Contact FGCI. com for everything you want to know about fiberglass.

Have not used it on fiberglass tub. However, Amazon return policy is great. I would try it , with taking care on tightening clamp and watch how is seems to be adjusting , watching both tub side and grab bar. I found after initial tightening to go back a tighten once again. I found it very safe, very handy, Think it might also depend on just how much weight you would be pulling against it from sitting position. If you just are going to use it to stabilize yourself getting into and out of the tub, should work for you. Very satisfied with mine. Just always use caution in and out of the tub with any product. Always check on clamp is tight. Try it! Have not used it on fiberglass tub. However, Amazon return policy is great.

It says "not for plastic or acrylic" so I would assume that it should not be used on fiberglass.

My tub surround is fiberglass and i had no problem installing this rod. Fortunately, i had 2x4 studs behind the fiberglass surround that almost perfectly lined up with where i needed to drill the holes thru the fiberglass and wallboard to install the rod. Using some longer screws than those provided allowed me to set the screws into the 2x4s and resulted in a very solid installation. This has been a great product for our needs.

It is meant to be used on a porcelain coated surface such as a stove or washer or dryer. If your tub or sink has this kind of surface, I think that it would work for you. I don't think that is meant to work on plastic surfaces.

No, this tip is only for glass or tile. The cast iron will eat the tip and destroy your tub.

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

I don't know since my shower enclosure is fiberglass, the ScotchBrite idea in the previous comment sounds like a good idea. I don't think it would hurt to try it.

you would get a better answer to google & find who makes porc-a-fix, get their instructions on how & what to use it on or get a phone # to the company who makes it & ask them, OR call a Home Depot" store, paint dept., what could possibly CHIP on a FIBERGLASS tub & shower?????????????? Porc-a-fix is made for PORCELAIN! Call a fiberglass tub maker for info on repair.

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've been using it on a fiberglass tub for 6 months without a mark. Just make sure you use a cleanser that doesn't have any type of grit. Cleansers like Soft Scrub shouldn't be used with this.

Yes it will work. Fiberglass is listed in the product information as a suitable surface for using the stripper.

I can't really give an accurate response to your question, because my tub floor is fiberglass. This mat adheres to a pebbly-like surface quite well, but does need to be removed occasionally to completely dry out, so mold will not form on the bottom. I hope this helps.

Yes, You can install on a Fiberglass shower by using molys and or toggle bolts or JB Weld from Hardware Stores, that spread out behind the fiberglass walls. I can imagine you would never remove them if you are close to my age or disabled. Go for it and install same as soon as possible and if nothing else will work you can use JB Weld if you tape the hanger up until it dries. Make sure you get behind the brass or chrome slide over flange on both ends. It will look unsightly if you miss. You can't afford a fall at my age of 77 years in a slick bathtub.

I don't think it will. The Mrs uses a bunch of different type cleaners and I know she likes the bubbles and kaboom. As long as the cleaner is non abrasive, like comet or ajax then it should be ok. Also try and not scrub too hard with some tough scouring pad. It's been a few months since I treated our tub and it's still great.
