Frequently Asked Questions

Yes we can. Minor holes are usually fixed by filling them with a special filler designed for submersible applications. With larger holes or cracks, we use a two-part epoxy glue to attach a new piece of material to the damaged surface. After making the repair many people choose to refinish the entire unit for a uniform color but it is not an absolute necessity.

Yes. When a bathtub has developed a hole or crack(s) they are usually able to be repaired. Please call us with the exact details and we will either give you an answer over the phone or we will come and look at it.

Yes we can refinish over any color. We can also refinish in any color you would like!

Fiberglass tubs and shower pans often crack because they have been reinforced with press board which deteriorates over time if it gets wet. This can be repaired by grinding out the crack, digging out the soggy particle board under the tub and replacing it with a special cement to add permanent reinforcement to the weak bottom. Then strips of fiberglass and resin are laid over the repaired area and a color matching fiberglass topcoat is applied which leaves an invisible, permanent repair.

You are probably too clean for your shower’s good! Most fiberglass showers and tubs are coated with gelcoat. This material scratches easily when scrubbed with abrasive cleansers. It is recommended that the surface be completely refinished with a new coating to give it the appearance and durability of a better-than-new fiberglass shower. Then to maintain the shiny luster, you may want to wax the walls about once a month with a liquid automobile wax to help prevent water spotting. Leave the abrasive cleansing powder at your mother’s house and use a NON-abrasive liquid cleaner with “scrubbing bubbles” or other mild detergent.
