Skudo Tub Protect is a custom-blended, liquid, peelable protective coating designed to safeguard acrylic, ceramic, porcelain, and cast-iron bathtubs from construction wear and tear before and during the installation process.
Applied with a roller or airless sprayer, the liquid tub protection dries to form a durable, protective barrier that stays firmly in place. Once the project is complete, simply peel it away, leaving the surface clean and damage-free.
With up to twelve months of protection, Skudo Tub Protect is ideal for residential, multifamily, and hospitality projects. The bathtub protector is also effective for safeguarding tubs and shower pans during transport, ensuring bath fixtures arrive at the jobsite in pristine condition.

Resists job site spills and splatter, including cement, paint and stucco.
Fire Resistant
Fire Resistant to withstand welding and grinding sparks.
Simple Application
Simple application with spray or roller.
Transit Protection
Can be applied at manufacturer to provide protection during transit.
Curing & Performance
- Film thickness is critical. Insufficient film thickness or overspray can reduce protection and make removal difficult.
- Skudo Tub Protect is a water-based product; curing occurs as water evaporates.
- Drying time depends on ambient conditions. Warm, dry environments with airflow and low humidity accelerate curing.
- Ensure the coating is fully cured before filling the tub with water.
- Recommended protection duration: Up to 12 months.
Skudo Tub Protect is a professional-grade, liquid-applied coating designed specifically to protect tubs and shower pans. Applied with a roller or airless sprayer, it dries to form a durable, protective barrier that stays firmly in place. Once the project is complete, simply peel it away, leaving the surface clean and damage-free.
Skudo Tub Protect can be applied using either a roller or an airless sprayer. Tub Protect should not be applied if the temperature is below freezing or if the surface is likely to be exposed to direct rainfall or water before the product has completely dried.
Tub Protect is removed by peeling the dried film off by hand.

Roller Application
- Apply using a ¾” nap roller.
- A minimum of two heavy coats is required to ensure proper performance and removability.
- Recommended nominal film thickness: 12–16 mil.
- Apply the heaviest coat to the base of the bathtub, where impact and abrasion are greatest.
Spray Application
- Apply with an airless spray gun using a 321 or 325 tip at 1500–2000 psi. (Skudo Tub Protect is a viscous material and controlling the pressure and tip size will help control the overspray).
- Tape off drains, overflows, and any mechanical components that should not be coated.
- Avoid overspray, as it will result in low film build and can cause removal issues.
- Minimum film thickness: 12–16 mil.
