How to Fill a Hole in a Fiberglass Tub

[@windellmcspindell3652]

Excellent information and instructions. Following your instructions, I made my repair area slightly smaller; it turned out great! Then just to out do me, my wife ordered a "Jacuzzi" emblem and epoxied it over the patch to cover it. Looks great.

[@jmiller9307]

Better than the other fiberglass tub repair videos.

[@DavidALovingMPF102]

Good video, good audio, good editing, good music. I am going to fix my neighbor's tub this morning. Thanks!

[@sidwhiting665]

Nice, clear and simple instruction, and the final result looks like a good repair job.

[@tedmcnair9709]

Great job! I have watched several others that were a train wreck!

[@oscarmonzon4852]

finally someone that knows what his doing, I'm subscribing !

[@chasestuart8944]

Nice work! If the hole was the size of a quarter or more you mentioned you would use a fiberglass cloth, resin, and hardener. Would this be in addition to using the Tub and Shower Repair kit or instead of?

[@jaulp7766]

Thanks need to fix a hole close the drain in my tub. Its more of a crack/slit type, however gives me a good base understanding of what to do.

[@Pashasmom1]

Thank you for this excellent video. I really like that tape idea, and the scraper to smooth it out. I might need help with the sanding part, I'm just an old lady with not a lot of strength in my upper arms anymore. Your technique is nice and clean.

[@westvalley411]

I like that you retaped prior to sanding...save the finish... Same color match problem with LED lights, is it cool white, bright white or soft while...lol. I go with 4100k for garage...

[@markclarke4514]

Straightforward!! Even a dummy could understand. How can I get it to match my white tub exactly?

[@donnabauerofbrilliancebyde1178]

Instructions were quite thorough without jibberish. Thank you! It sure does not look white to me but rather grey.

[@gregr1672]

Thanks for the video bud !! I have a 30 yr old Maax Fiberglass Tub with walls .It looks really good though still so I am fixing about a thumb size hole near back of tub below water level . I pushed the Tub Repair Putty hard down into the void and have a slight low spot that keeps showing thru so I m gonna do a second coat.Do you think a small piece of fiberglass cloth would be good idea under second coat? I m more concerned with patch being water tight strong than it looking perfect . Thanks again for the motivation to do it !

[@HowardARoark]

Very helpful, thanks.

[@TOMA-ny7gg]

Great video What are the products u uswd please

[@Ronnie500]

Does it smell strong? I have birds in the house and Im Very Worried...

[@guymoosburger1494]

Ever try a tub paint whitener on the patch?

[@dallasboyd9473]

I like the music! Great video

[@herbmoring2147]

I have a crack about 10" long in the bottom of my tub. Will this work for that?

[@lynnellmcdow2732]

Can this work for bottom of tub what is it called and where can I get it

[@kathleensnow9989]

Ditch the background music.

[@kevinflynn6005]

Hater

[@Beastlee1]

Don’t know if you’ll see this comment on a ten month old video but how big would the hole need to be before you need the cloth? My hole is about quarter sized. Thanks for making this btw.

[@bobd.j.5393]

I think any hole larger than the size of the lead of a pencil would be best repaired using cloth. Using Epoxy is different than most repair chemicals. And the idea is; when completed, there is NO EVIDENCE of a whole having been there EVER‼️ So to ensure the Epoxy doesn’t get sucked INTO the hole while drying; I believe this is where the cloth material shows its value. 👍🤔. Good luck😄🙏‼️

[@dmchiapet]

I used JB WELD waterproof putty because I'm going to replace my tub. So far after 15 days it's still working. Oh and I spray painted it with Kryon for an extra seal. Cheap until I replace it.

[@WideEyedGirll]

Sooo glad I found this!!!! Thank you!

[@MsMelissaP607]

Will this work for a whole the size of a silver dollar?

[@StriderGTS]

Perfect video, just what I needed!

[@ThrasherGnar]

Good stuff, very helpful video, thanks for posting!

[@lockergr]

Who would you look for if you wanted someone to do this for you so it would blend in and match? I don't want the discoloration. Your work is great looking aside from the color. Is it even possible to get a solid match on an almond colored shower? Thanks for the tutorial.

[@bobd.j.5393]

I would contact a “New Home or Remodeling Contractor”. Upon installing tubs into new homes; the contractor occasionally find themselves having to do tub repairs because the tub was NOT properly covered with a protective layer of something like cardboard and taped in place to prevent scrapes and/or small stress fractures or holes. Another subcontractors will come in after the plumber ;whom installed the sinks and tubs. Unfortunately, some subs will use the sinks as a holding place for their tools being used during that days work causing scratches and/or dents or small holes. . I’ve also witnessed subs setting 1/2 of their ladder inside the tub when hanging Sheetrock or Painting. Another issue is, If the site does NOT have an On-Site Porta-Potty; some subs will even use your tub as a toilet until the toilets get installed and have a water connection.

[@lockergr]

@@bobd.j.5393 HAHA, well that's something isn't it! Thank you for this information and the tip on whom to contact Bob. This is my next project to get taken care of. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

[@beavernon5387]

What is the product? Can't make out. Also, would this cover a 4 inch burn hole from a candle, on back "lip" of an acrylic tub? Was thinking to use Bondo.

[@lanascorza6205]

oky so how about bigger holes? would i need repair tape by chance??

[@jacquelinezunun1422]

What if its in the bottom.. of the tub it feels More like plasticky our tub

[@JayH1931]

Put the product names in the description

[@WordGlass]

Does this still hold up? how is the coloring?

[@grandss7376]

Which sandpaper do you use first?

[@pauldejesus9644]

great vid would you use the same for a crack

[@6atlantis]

Would you guys recommend this kit or the Loctite kit?

[@cheryllafferty3822]

With out the drying time for the product - about how long would you say it took? Thank you

[@hnajee]

Excellent vid. Please what is the brand name to order

[@juukes]

what about a hole that 14x14 in?

[@danbrownellfuzzy3010]

Our last boss hired someone to change the valve in the hot water knob. He took a sawzall to It so he could........I'm not really sure. Did anyone advise you on giant holes in the fiberglass yet?

[@jsubs]

We all could hear better without the music.

[@sw-wk3qm]

I don't understand why these producers think they need dumb music while they are talking. It's like they don't have confidence in what they are saying and need a cover up.

[@GospelTruth37059]

That was so easy , thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :)

[@mikefehr5290]

Nice choice in G-Shocks.

[@kaylahertz5451]

Can this be used on a acrylic tub as well?

[@KapBarmore]

Excellent video. Thanks.

[@endingsarebeginnings911]

Thank you very much for this video

[@clay1671]

Is that a bullet hole

[@harrisonhardcastle1465]

Great job and I love the backround music

[@elizabethwomack4829]

How has this worn in the past 4 years?

[@alisonbarksdale1625]

Will this work on the tub floor too?

[@hyyperare1841]

I have a small crack hole on the shower floor. I wanted to know the same thing

[@bobd.j.5393]

Yes. It will absolutely work on the tub or shower floor. One of the key points this video has shown you is use of Painters Tape around your work area. This method allows better focus on your damage area AND helps to coverup possible mistakes in the repair process. Well done job and exemplifies his “preplanned, thought out process” for repairing a hole in your tub or sink made of fiberglass or porcelain👍🤔✌️

[@lornejanes6001]

Never use just fingers, ALWAYS use sanding block (forty years experience)

[@BravoMentorianaAmerica]

thank you very good

[@Jujitsu-m1n]

Cool

[@privatelending6801]

this is really easy, it's on the side of the tube not a hard to repair, try repairing on the floor with 8- 10 Inch cracks in 2 places, where all the weight is located when taking a shower tried Jb water weld,epoxy, all said can fix fiberglass, BS, your weight on it just cracks it back open and leaks to all hell thru the floor.. O well, time to start over

[@HGR693]

get rid of the background music/noise !

[@tat_dad]

Good video but why the 90s porn music??

[@eddiegutierrez3524]

Great video kill the music

[@cruzingchamp]

Yeah better than paying 10,000 for a new one.

[@renedelafuente123]

That little hole is nothing. I was hoping for a big hole to really help a viewer out. I have one and we need to cut part of it out to reach old copper and replace with a new 3 way copper with new stems. A big hole is not going to cut it for this type of repair.

[@amdistant5547]

The discoloration makes it look terrible.

[@comitokids]

Ugh. No background music needed in these types of videos. It's just annoying and distracting.

[@grayprincess56]

TURN OFF THE MUSIC!!!!!

[@heatherleopold3594]

The music makes it unwatchable.

[@Okielogian]

Can we stop putting background music to these? It makes the video annoying.

[@verdantgrottobarbell5279]

This could have been a good video if you spoke up a little and dropped the music once you started speaking

[@pauldabey2873]

I did not like this video because it was impossible to hear with the stupid music. If I wanted music I would go someplace else. It seems for some reason almost all instructional KZbin videos have insane loud music. Maybe one day they will learn.

[@hoboogre8023]

Sorry, couldn't get thru this vid with the annoying music pumped up way too loud....

[@alanaustin5598]

Great video, but the music was very distracting. The music almost caused me to stop watching. Lose the music.

[@ChrisPp-c5z]

I'm sorry I can't stand the background music

[@kandkt758]

Leave the music out of it. Specially, in the intro. Gives it a real 80/90s vibe
