Fiberglass Bathtubs

[klhawes]

My client has taken possession of her Condo and has phoned me to advise that she has noted a few very small (hard to see) vertical hair line cracks in her fiberglass bathtub, approximately halfway up. I have never run across this before. Can anyone advise how serious this may be, or any possible repairs procedure that is possible? Any response is appreciated.

Quite common. A representative of the manufacturer normally comes out to repair the cracks.

It's just not practical to tear out walls as required to haul in a new one-piece f.g. shower.

A good technician can repair the cracks to 'like new' condition. I normally find a texture difference at the repair site. I can feel that with my hand.

Gary, thanks very much for your insight.
