fiberglass bath tub repair
 
I have a fiberglass bathtub in an apartment that has a crack in it, any
ideas about the best way to approch repairing this. Is there a repair kit
avail. And what about color ? Iam a body man and suppose i could treat it
like a corvette fender or something, but was just wondering if there were
any tricks or other thoughts about repairing tubs.

Thanks, mark

I fixed one once. Bigegst mistake I made was to just patch it and not
brace it underneath, which is why it cracked in the first place. Well,
that and it was a peice of crap.

I just sanded the paint off and used fiberglass patch and resin on it.
Worked great.

If you live in an apartment, my advice is to contact the property
manager. If you try to fix it and something hapends, you may be
replacing the tub through your security deposit.
