After watching this video last year, I followed exactly these instructions and redid the floor of my damaged shower stall floor (and saved thousands of dollars). I'm just reporting in to say that with daily showers, it's holding up fine. Admittedly, I didn't bother to get it nice and smooth (I could have, I should have, and I would have, but I'm impatient and I just called it good enough). I assume the triple expanding foam will eventually break down, but at least I know I can fix it again. Thank you for an absolutely perfect DIY video. This is the best one I've seen.

Who can I pay to do this? A plumber? Who do I call that would know the right way to do this? I don’t want to do it all myself, but I would like it done this way. I bought a house that had a crappy job done and the crack is still there and was poorly fixed.

In the beginning it says what you need as far as tools and equipment but then later on You're using a sprayer of some sort which is not listed in the tools. Not good. So it comes across something that you can do yourself, but you actually can't because you need specialized equipment.

Work at an old hotel. This this a huge issue I’ve had. This is the first no nonsense solution I’ve found. Took it step by step working well. Should be a few more steps before install for these fiberglass shower pans. It’s so common and a pain in in the ass if not caught immediately can cause subfloor damage. Not fun to fix. Especially if time critical. Thank you for this.

I had a long crack that I tried to repair with just the fiberglass cloth and resin because that is all that was shown in a video I looked up a few years ago. I did several coats thinking it would be stronger. It was...and it took about 8 months before my weight finally made the sponginess of the floor pop the repair loose. Now, thanks to your video, I know why. I needed that first step of the triple-expanding foam. Now I know how to fix it right. (But I can't wait until my brother, who shares my Amazon account, sees me ordering a bucket of Bondo. I can hear it now as he gives me a panic phone call: "What the hell did you do to your car??")

What's under the pan that caused it to get soft? Concrete? Dirt? Wood? My pan just cracked near the drain and I cut out a 2" by 2" section and dirt is below it. Some of the fiberglass has rotted away and now there is a void in that area. Do you think expansion foam will fill the void and be able to withstand the weight of a person? The house has a slab foundation but also has dirt visible in the drain area. I guess they left that part exposed during the concrete pour.

when using fiberglass and resin overlay you should sand/grind the area to make a depression that equals the thickness of the repair fill. Same procedure as in vid with the mesh and resin. Instead of polyester body filler ( Bondo) use a fiberglass in the can called long and strong. This product is fiberglass chopped up with a gel form of resin and is structural as well as a good final filter. Polyester filler has zero structural, only fills. Mix with catalyst and apply as you would bondo. Now here is the trick. You can use wax paper to cover the repaired area then smooth the repair with a rubber squeegee. This will make the repair very smooth. The wax paper will also help the resin to get very hard and not sticky when sanded. After stripping off the wax paper then wipe down the resin with acetone and the surface will not be sticky at all. Behind sanding as in bid.

This is stupid, insulating foam is NOT for structural support ! Bondo filler is not for water areas. I would put my repair and overlay up against any done like this video any day of the week and guarantee mine to hold up!!! This is the type of work I have to redo.

@flamboyan274 жыл бұрын
We had to use more than 10 cans after fixing under the tub: foam had no where to go and we had to put reinforcement boards underneath, and a barrier. It takes a good while to expand and harden. Give it around 2 hours to expand and stop bubbling out.
