Porous Bath

Hi,
Just been inspecting the underside of my corner bath. It is
glass-fibre. When filled with water small droplets appear at various
points on the underside. These drip at a rate of about 1 drop every
minute. This cannot be condensation as it is quite warm and the
droplets seem to be quite localised (4 places). The only explanation
I can think of is that the glassfibre is porous/permeable.
Can this be right? Does this happen to boats? Anyone else experienced
this? Time for a new bath?
That's not just porous, sound like a definite minute crack to me.
They aren't actually fibreglass are they? I thought they were Perspex...
with a fibre glass mesh on the back in a feeble attempt at reinforcement.
Don't like them myself, they flex far too much and enamelled steel ones are
reasonably priced nowadays.
