 i noticed my shower base has a hairline crack  in it the house I'm in is about 25 years old how do I fix it 

Its ivory colour also 

I can't afford to replace it 

No water pulls anywhere 

Its strong as doesn't move  when you step into it 

Is that just general wear and tear?

Thank you all

Re: How to fix crack in shower base?

Hi @Bel02,

 

Thank you for your question about repairing a hairline crack in your shower base.

 

As the crack does not appear to penetrate through the shower base, it doesn't pose a great risk in terms of failure of the shower base right now, but it is worth noting that this crack could worsen over time, so it is a good idea to keep an eye on it. If things get worse, you may have to look at replacing the shower base.

 

In the meantime, you can use this Rust-Oleum 13.3ml White Tub And Tile Touch Up Kit, which is a two-part epoxy acrylic solution that can be used for touching up and sealing cracks like this in high moisture environments.

 

Make sure you have a good read through the product specifications prior to carrying out your repair, especially the surface preparation steps.

 

Once mixed, you can apply the solution to the crack using a craft brush.

 

Let me know what you think, and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Jacob
