Crack In Fiberglas Bathtub
There's not much you can do about a crack
in a fiberglass bathtub. These cracks can be caused from people
jumping into the bathtub, while its empty or full, but on the
other hand, I'm sure there's hundreds of possibilities.
I watched a fellow worker dropped a 2 x 4 about 8 feet and it
actually put a hole in the fiberglass bathtub. This bathtub was
also repaired and should have been replaced, however, I did
return to this home, about three years after we were working on
it and the bathtub repair still looked good.
This bathtub has already been repaired once and as you can see
it in his cracked again. The problem itself isn't the bathroom
crack, it's the
damage it did to the ceiling and is continuing to do, until
the proper repairs have been made.
In a situation like this, I would recommend replacing the
bathtub.
Home Repair Tip -I rarely see a
plumber or remodeling experts install bathtubs with plaster of
paris or cement underneath them. This provides additional
support for the weight of the bathtub when full of water and
could have prevented the damage to this fiberglass bathtub.
