Thank you so much! I was able to fix my tub in 24 hrs time and save lots of money for sure. It took about 24 hrs due to drying time, but your instructions and video worked perfectly. Couple of things, the filler used took longer than anything to solidify... Maybe 8 hrs?... And the paint, no brand was specified but I used Rust-Oleum bath paint on a spray can and it worked great. Again, thank you so much for your video and knowledge.

Thank you very much sir. I did all the steps and fixed the shower base, although i messed up the first layer of epoxy. I sandpapered the sticky ruined epoxy layer and 24 hours later mixed up a second layer, this time much better[cured in 3 hours, was ready in 24 hours]. My mistake was that i didn't mix the hardener and the epoxy nice[although it was written on the instructions...]. I used painting sprays[liquid marble stuff[very expensive one] and white color spray]. My paint job also was bad and now it is falling apart [because the liquid marble's cap broke], but i will fix it on the next salary. The important thing is that there are no more leaks.

Steven Hickey it has most likely leaked into the ceiling of the floor below you.

All cabinets and a bunch of the ceiling filled with mold within days, nearly 3 years later and I’m still waiting on my landlord to fix it. This method has done the job, though.

What do you do when the foam makes its way into the drain?
@magicone93273 жыл бұрын
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.

Do you think this would be ok on the repair of the shower pan?
@arlingtonporcelainrefinish47434 жыл бұрын
Hello Craig, "stop holes" drilled at the end of the crack, as you suggest is definitely a technique that is used by many who repair fiberglass cracks. Many of our partners use that approach with long lasting success too. I do not have hard evidence that one approach works better or lasts longer than the other on fiberglass. I do know that for the past 30+ years we've used the approach we've shared with long-lasting success. Hope this helps.

I have this same exact situation. But I would never use body filler to top it off, won't it crack under pressure. I am finishing mine with another coating of Fibreglass over the dried first application, with no cloth for the final coat, an it can reach it's own smooth level. I also made cuts or grooves in the original base so the products would seat well, and cleaned all with alcohol before pouring on the fibreglass resin. Hope yours worked. 3m makes a very good fibreglass strand filler as well.

Also; if the tub worsens; you have proof had the contractor taken your concern serious when 1st notified; the extent of damage would have been a lot less. I’m having the same problem and learned today the fiberglass tub floor should NOT be flexible or spongy🤷♂️. Evidently; this is what had caused the stress cracks.

Generally, when a shower base/pan is installed it is leveled and placed in quick-set cement to secure stabilize and give it the necessary support to prevent failure.

That is not the way to do this! i would use a much better closed cell foam to support and then grind the crack out. then use FG mat w/ vinylester, in small pieces cut to fit you grinded out area, to get very near level, then use a filler rated for marine work-NOT BONDO as it can absorb moisture. I would sand out the floor completely(remove the oem texture, and roll the non skid 1st, then spray the top coating. you have a high spot there and then have the factory non skid in areas competing with your sanded non skid you applied so it is obvious this is a repair. This is adequate i guess, i mean, its repaired and looks OK however it is an obvious patch. This is DIY standards, not pro standards IMO. An overlay panel is probably best if that floor has any wood rot.

Bondo is definitely a no go for me, work on boats for a living, the filler I love to use is called Adtech, it’s kinda spendy but definitely does it’s job and then some!
