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.
