The kids managed to drop a heavy shower door off its hinges and knock a hole in a acrylic bath module. The tear is about 1/2″w x 1″ long. It is shallow because it occurred right on top of a piece of wood bracing. I’m usually an all-or-nothing kind of guy, but the thought of gutting this recently renovated bathroom has me searching for the marine-tex………any suggestions on repair?

I know of a guy in Southwest ohio that can fix this type of problem, he is factory certified by the various tub makers. Where are you located?

Greenville SC.............I believe I can do it, I've done automotive body work, I'm just not sure what to use...and how to leave it as presentable as possible.This is not my beautiful wife, this is not my beautiful house, my god... how did we get here?
Personally I wouldn't even think of doing it myself and I like to do almost everything I can myself.
Reason being is I've seen pro's do it and not been able to seen the repair in both fiberglass and enamel tubs. For a wound that size the guy we use would run about $200 bucks... For that kind of money I'd personally rather pay to have a great job done then spend a few hours myself ending up with a noticeable patch.
Call a local plumbing supply house to get a recommendation or if you know the manufacturer call their service line and they could recommend someone local who is certified.
I'll contact my supplier and see......I know it sounds hypocritical, (I am a residential contractor) but I hate to leave workers alone in my residence...this is a larger concern than the $$....This is not my beautiful wife, this is not my beautiful house, my god... how did we get here?
