How to fix a crack hole in bathtub - fiberglass

[@user-gd6en8id1f]

Hi. Is it a must to sand it down?

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

U don’t have to it just won’t be smooth, but it will still patch the hole 👍😉thank you!

[@Aussie-Poo]

Seriously, where have you been all my life I have a crack in my bath tub I had 2- estimates 1- 5000.00 2- 3000.00 I watched this DYI Video And purchased the materials I am DOING THIS ✨

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

Same material but if your crack is larger this may help, keep me posted on this I would love to know how it turns out, thank you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4map6t-h89rosk

[@aholesahole]

There's no way you were quoted those prices for a repair.

[@kevinhenson9849]

so, how did it turn out?

[@gypsileydi6412]

Not hating on the guys, but this is the best video with the best results I’ve seen so far. Well polished (I don’t mean the manicure-though they are also well polished).

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

🤣🤣thank you!

[@CrackaLacka]

Thank you so much for this! You gave me the confidence to go ahead and try this on my own. It turned out great and saved me a wad of cash! ❤

[@1dripy-e5s]

Thanks for posting this. It’s a few years old but still so helpful.

[@okJanel]

Lol 😆 🤣 when you acted like it was hot. You should have seen my face. I enjoyed that prank on us viewers.

[@TheHansoost]

Thanks for reminding me of this product. I used it some years ago to patch a hole in a shower we found at the share shack at our rural dump. Perfect for our cabin . However, I now have a nearly new tub to repair. Looks easy and won't run on a vertical surface . Didn't realize it was sandable. Good to know. Thanks again

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

Thank you and you are welcome!

[@nicholleortiz6253]

Yes! I am trying this today with a hole in my bathroom sink. I have the pieces that broke off so I'm first going to glue those in THEN I will use the water weld to fill in the cracks and make it smooth. Thank you for the video to inspire me. ❤️

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

If your sink is made of porcelain just make sure and use the correct JB Weld...keep me posted on your project! Thank you!

[@zzz7zzz9]

Here's a trick to have it harden with a smooth finish. Put plastic overtop it, then rub it smooth. When it cures, the plastic peels right off and it's smooth.

[@laurietumer3216]

Thank you for this helpful video! I was overwhelmed thinking of how to fix this! I'm a bit sensitive to strong odors. Dose this epoxy (and the paint you'll use in the next video) have a strong odor? And if so, does it go away quickly? Thanks again!

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

The epoxy is not bad, but the paint you need a respirator😉 and lots of ventilation so yes, it will probably get to you

[@steved0603]

Subscribed! Wow, that looks pretty easy. I thought our tub was a gonner! Thank you!

[@Queenbee911]

Thank you for such a great instructional video. I have to repair mine now.

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

You are welcome, thank you!

[@Jacob-xr8ck]

Great video, I got this exact epoxy putty at home depot on a reccomendation, looking forward to using it.

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

It works great… Keep us posted on how it turns out

[@eraserheadbaby7471]

It's definitely hard to wash off your fingers, but trying to use gloves is a total headache. Fingernail polish remover helps get it off your skin. I'm not nuts about having all these chemicals on my skin, but dang this stuff works so well.

[@juzzonmorris]

Thank you so very much for making this video! You've earned a sub!👊🏾

[@steven5978]

Best DIY repair video on this topic I've seen so far, thanks, what is the ETA on the next video of painting it??? Can't wait

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

Thank you! I am not sure but I will keep you posted it’s coming soon!😉

[@missangie1562]

I’m a renter with a slumlord landlord Soo I’m going to have to do this myself. My question is that I have a rust spot in the middle of the tub the size of a quarter and growing, will this work on that as well? It’s not a hole yet but I don’t think it’s going to be much longer until it is. Is their other steps I need to do first to the rust? I heard you had to sand the rust away but if the rust is thin and brittle that may break it and then I have a bigger problem besides a useless landlord. Don’t plan on living here for much more longer than 6 months but can’t look at it anymore. Any suggestions ?? Thank you ❤😊

[@joshuaspurgeon8133]

How to repair the rust around the draining hole of a bathtub, please?

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

If it is just rust on the surface, try sprinkling some baking soda on a sliced potato and rubbing that on the rust spots, if the rust has eaten part of the porcelain, you can use this product to fill any dips that may have occurred after you clean it… See if this helps

[@l-r3d-jjohnson674]

Does it work with a crack in the shower floor , with the crack being as long as your pointer finger?

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

It very well may, it might just depend on where it is if you are standing on it and putting pressure on it, but it’s always worth a shot

[@SeasonsOFcolors]

Mine is coming from the drain which is located in the middle part of the tub twisted the back wall .

[@irfanahmed6744]

Hi my favourite, I want to relocate my standing shower faucet. How to fill old faucet hole . This maxx shower plastic wall. Not a fiber glass shower walls. Please respond quickly. This shower wall has 3” space from dry wall because it has 2x4 studs to support this shower wall in between drywall and standing shower wall..

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

It should adhere to it… Just give it a try!

[@Chewbigga]

What would you recommend for any blisters that seemed to start appearing underneath the bath mat?

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

I would sand them and try using this product to level out the surface… because when you sand it it’s probably going to chip it…keep me posted!

[@Chewbigga]

@@WhatTheFoxSherriFox - One other question about that. Now my tub is I guess older. The entire tub and inner showet wall is smooth, no tiles. Anyway, how can I go about coloring it right? I don't consider this an almond or biscuit color. I'd almost dub it a "light olive" color. Maybe I'm wrong though.

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

@@Chewbigga have you considered painting it? I just painted one not too long ago now you can give it a smoother finish and step up your sandpaper and use 200 300 400 grit after using 80 grit … Color matching it to spot paint it might be difficult kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpykY62mgcygebc

[@julianachenoweth3518]

Thank you for the video! Do you have any suggestions for something that could be sprayed or painted over the patch to match the off-white/ almond/ biscuit tones of older tub inserts?

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

I am sorry I do not have any suggestions…You can paint the entire bathtub which I will leave a link below… but I am unsure if there is a way to try to color match that… I apologize for not being of more help.. thank you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpykY62mgcygebc

[@Tarakian1999]

Will this work on a cast steel or iron tub?

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

I would think that it would, they make different types and I am thinking there is one for metal/steel

[@Tarakian1999]

@@WhatTheFoxSherriFox Thank You!

[@chrism.4544]

I tried this. My reality with this stuff was that it needs to be mixed between your fingers to a uniform color. While doing this it will begin to adhere to the fingers. Once that happens it adheres thicker and faster. I have no idea how she did this with a French manicure. You'll see.

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

🤣👍

[@gypsileydi6412]

Lol! She’s got that Southern grit!😅

[@CatchinBig]

Does this work on rusted out holes, or only fiberglass?

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

It should, they make several different kinds, give it a try and keep us posted on it! Thank you!

[@luciamakayed817]

Thanks for sharing. Wise woman

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

Thank you!😉

[@amylathrop8329]

Nope, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it back in the tube. Because you've squeezed the tip and mixed it some, it will start to harden if you just shove back in and close the cap.

[@sandsoftime5535]

Thank you for this video!! I had no idea this product existed! I hope you can answer this for me. If you have a really long crack in the base of tub (you know where you stand and move around on), will this stand up to a persons weight once fully cured? Right now I've been using Flex Seal Paint and it eventually starts to come up so I have to redo it every 6 months or so. This seems more of a permanent fix but I'm just not sure if weight put on this method will work. Also do you think putting the Flex Seal Paint over it will ensure a greater safe fail for any water or mold getting through to the floorboards? The person who installed this tub didn't do it correctly causing the new tub to crack at pressure points. This is an apartment so I don't want to incur any charges once I leave. Just looking for the best solution to fixing this darn tub.

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

Can you send me a picture to [e-mail] of the crack?

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

[@chrism.4544]

@@WhatTheFoxSherriFox Amazon reviews said it never hardened and/or didn't stick very long.

[@chrism.4544]

@@WhatTheFoxSherriFox I just read one of your comments about this issue with hardening - I think the person on Amazon did not knead it completely before applying it. That's the issue. Gonna get this stuff.

[@chrism.4544]

@@WhatTheFoxSherriFox Does it require some mesh behind the hole to keep it from sinking into the hole and for support until it hardens or does the stuff support itself while soft without collapsing into the hole (half dollar size hole) from your experience??

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

@@chrism.4544 no it doesn’t require any mesh it will support itself, if you have a hole that big you may have to apply some let it dry and then apply some more, but it should work…I have patched very large holes where handicap rails came down from and it worked beautifully…. Just be patient with it and keep me posted how it turns out!

[@xlayamaya_77x]

are you supposed to wear a mask when sanding bc epoxy putty can be dangerous i heard to your respiratory

[@mazzola7980]

Well, I didn't knead it long enough and now 2 days have past and its still tacky. Oh well, hopefully one day it will solidify. Should have watched your video 1st.

[@WhatTheFoxSherriFox]

If it’s tacky take it out throw that away, you already have a hole in your tub so it’s not going to matter... follow the steps in my video and do it again, knead it until it starts getting a little warm and becomes one color, fill the hole check after 1-2 hours ... keep me posted and let me know how it turns out! 😉
