Where to Buy Trim-Tex Shower Bead

Shower Bead is Trim-Tex’s solution to eliminate most of the messy caulk and mud required to finish drywall around tub enclosures. Instead of filling in the whole gap between that enclosure and drywall, you can use this vinyl accessory to form a protective bridge over it. Its attached tear-off strip protects the area from mud, leaving behind a clean, finished edge every time. In this article, we'll answer one of the big questions we receive about this bead every day — here’s where to buy Trim-Tex Shower Bead online and in stores.

One request we’ve gotten for years has been from DIYers, renovators and smaller crews who don’t need a big box of 25 beads. After all, this may be the only tub enclosure you're installing all year! They just wanted a simple kit filled with just enough Shower Bead to tackle a single shower.

You asked, we listened. The Shower Bead kit is here, and you can buy it online now to be shipped directly to your doorstep. In this kit, you’ve got six beads (seven feet each), designed for non-drywall specialists to finish drywall around one tub/shower at a time, without paying for materials you don’t need. Shower Bead kits are available in sizes for both ½” and ⅝” drywall. You can get your kit now through our friends at Al’s Taping Tools — just hit the button below to get started.

(While you’re there, we recommend also adding a can of 847 Spray Adhesive to your cart; alongside half-inch staples, this glue is a crucial part of installing vinyl drywall trim like Shower Bead flawlessly.)
