Cracked Shower tray

Post by Edz »

I have a crack in the floor of my shower tray in the static caravan that we are living in whilst doing our self build. I would reckon that replacing the tray (should I get one the right size) will be a pain.

I thought that I would maybe glue it just to get me through till the Spring. Is this feasible? What glue/repair might you recommend. Anyone any ideas?

Cheers

You could try an acrylic bath repair kit, like this- http://www.bathwizard.com/

UHM seems to know a lot about acrylic, so perhaps he can add something?

If you rough up the surface, i think you will have a moderate ammount of success with the fiberglass sticking...it will still look terrible.
I think your best solution would be to replace your nasty old shower pan, and replace it with a custom tile install, if your wall tiles are still in good shape. I am in the middle of an acrylic/fiberglass pan replacement, and i have tile walls. I had to chisel out up to the 4th row of tiles to get out all the rot in the walls. Fortunately my house isnt that old, 1971, so i was able to go to lowes and get a 36x 36 inch pan to fit. Try the kohler website, maybe your size isnt as unique as you think.
