Tiny Crack in Shower

First determine if the crack is just in the gel coat or does it go through the laminate. Also is the shower surround reinforced FG or a thermoplastic? The repair will be different based on your answers. If the crack is through the laminate I would drill a #40 hole at the end of the crack to keep it growing before you do any repair.

Drill it and put a shower decal over it. Being way up high, it will be cosmetic. Loosen the over tightened screw.

Thanks so much. I will do it

i had one in the bottom of mine at a screw hole. I used the almond/beige proflex to seal it up worked great. you can see it but it doesnt stand out as the color is a match to my surround.

I think he meant drill a 1/16 hole BEYOND the crack to STOP it from growing.

I think I should drill at the end of each crack and then either push the two pieces apart and glue or caulk it then let it spring back flat.

I would say to drill the hole at the very END of the crack.

I used clear Gorilla repair tape to stabilize mine. It is clear like packing tape but thicker.

Drilling a small hole to stop the crack is good advice. Use any kind of sealer like silicone or Dap to seal it. Then buy a small adheasive plastic hook and install it over the crack. It's useful to hang wash cloths, scrubbing mit, etc. and hides the crack. On mine, I drilled 2 small holes in the plastic hook and hung it with stainless steel sheet metal screws. The crack is gone and the hook looks like it's supposed to be there.

Thanks for more good ideas!
