Hi all,
I have a plastic (acrylic?) bath which is about 7 years old. It has been damaged by one of those cheap wire soap dishes that attach to the wall tiles using suckers falling into it. There's a chip on the inside of the bath and a small crack through to the other side, small but big enough to allow a trickle of water through. Is there any way of repairing this and avoiding the expense of buying a new bath, fitting it, re tiling etc?
Someone suggested filling the crack with super glue or silicone. Someone else suggested a fibreglass patch on the back. I thought the repeated heating and cooling would eventually cause the leak to start again, if such a repair even stopped it in the first place.
What's the best thing for me to do please?
