How Do You Make A Concrete Tub Surround?
A concrete tub surround is a beautiful way to enhance your bathroom. It’s long lasting, easy to maintain and can be created in any shape or design you can imagine. Also, concrete tub surround can be built around any type of tub, you just need to build your forms to suit the surround you want to build. Design the tub surround around your existing tub. Measure the outside area of the tub surround and make a diagram using graph paper or a computer aided drafting software program. Trace the area of the tub surround on the floor of the bathroom. Be sure you have the proper flooring installed. Plywood is the best material to have under a concrete surround. If necessary, remove the tile within the traced area of the tub surround. Cut plywood sheets to the height and width of the tub surround. In this case we will describe building surrounds for a 4 by 2 1/2 foot tub (total width) that is 20 inces high–a very common tub size. Cut two plywood sheets to 49″ long (add an extra inch) by 20 inches
