I recently installed a new "One-piece" fiberglass shower. During installation, I supported the bottom rear where there was a block of wood moulded into the base and the front lip was also supported. When using the shower, I noticed a slight spring in the base as you stand in the center of the base. Now, I noticed a very slight chip in the base, and a semi-circle of a fine hairline crack. I can access the underside of the base from my crawlspace and install some pins to support arond the drain. I need to know if there is a product or procedure to touch-up the chip, and what to do about the fine, hairline crack that has formed. I considered an epoxy applied to the base, but wish to not only maintain the integrity of the base, but the appearance, as well. It is bright white.
In the past, I have seen a guy repair fiberglass showers that had damage like incorrect screwholes, and scratches. He used fiberglass and sprayed some strong smelling paint of some kind, that made the repair disappear. Any suggestions appreciated…especially names of products or procedures. I am very handy, and do wood touchup and repairs to furniture, so am familiar with many products for touch up and repair. I am not familiar with water-proof repairs…thanks…
Of course replacing the shower is out of the question. I thought of using epoxy floor material that is found at homecenters for garage floors….with a broadcasted material, but not sure if there is a better way….thanks so much
