I'm wondering how best to repair it - my first thought is car body filler?
There is an epoxy product called Milliput in Superfine White shade that
I have used in smaller bath repairs, and it looks okay. But you'd need
something underneath, like fibreglass, as already mentioned. I used a
two pence piece underneath, and made sure there was more epoxy on top to
give it some structural resistance to falling through.
It worked okay, but I could never stop worrying about it, so I ended up
replacing it. And now the replacement bath currently has a
Milliput-repaired small crack in it. Our son keeps dropping his toy
battleships in it. I'll replace it again when he's grown up a bit. I
think a metal bath would be the answer, but then he would always be
cracking the enamel.
