Fiberglass Bathtub Crack Repair Pros Virginia Beach
Large cracks in the bottom of a fiberglass bathtub or shower can be particularly concerning because the bottom of the unit is constantly exposed to weight, adding movement, water, and everyday use.
A crack that extends through the fiberglass can allow the floor to flex when someone stands on it. Over time, that movement can cause the crack to become larger and can potentially allow water to reach areas underneath the tub or shower.
