How to fix shower base crack?

Shower was installed in 2019 but there is a pretty big crack in the resin base. 

No idea how I would try and fix this or fill it? Or would I be better off getting a new base - is that even an option? Do Plumbers do these sorts of jobs? shower base edit.jpg

Re: Shower base crack

Hi @Bridget1,

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

 

If you'd like to give a repair a try, then I'd suggest you check out the advice in How to repair acrylic shower floor crack, where I have provided some advice that would also apply to your situation.

 

It looks like a repair should be possible, ultimately, the shower base has cracked, and it is going to be at risk of leaking if it is not perfectly sealed. Long term, replacing the shower base would be the best solution, although it would be much more involved. Yes, a plumber would be the best trade for this kind of job.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions, or require further guidance.

 

Jacob
