small crack in bathtub

Question

is it easy and safe (from leaks) to repair a small crack in the bath with a sealant?

Steven · Answer

Hi
You can repair your bathtub but not with an ordinary sealant . The integrity of your bath is compromised and over time will weaken further resulting in a new bath . Depending on location of crack on bathtub will depend on how long it will last .
As a quick and temporary fix you can buy component set Epoxy Bath Repair Kit . This is more suitable than normal sealant and will last a lot longer .

No you need to replace the bath The crack will get worse in time

I have looked into this.  I found a compound on the net but as someone has said before, I would price a new bath.  I dropped a tile on my own bath.  Ended up for the price of the compound and the work, replacing the bath was quicker and easier for me.

No, depending on what your bath is made from there are repair kits

It really depends where it is on Bath and what your Bath is made of ? I would t recommend it ! Best get a Bath doctor in to be honest

Tony · Answer

Yes assuming it’s fibreglass bath best stuff for that is a product called ct1 silicone and adhesive, if the crack grows new bath hope this helps

Patrick · Answer

Depends on material Bath is made from ie plastic or steel. Probably better to fix with epoxy or fibreglass on the underside to provide a near permanent repair.
