At 6'5", I don't have that option. What do you suggest, cut off the head or radical masectomy?

We had a soft area on our shower pan. Before it caused any problems I sprayed Great Stuff under there but first stuffed a garbage bag into the cavity then sprayed the foam into the bag. Should make it easy (not as bad anyway) to remove it if it ever needs it. Solid as a rock too.

Great idea to use a bag for the foam to support a good pan. I didnt think of that so long ago. What I was thinking of then was that with the foam stuck to the pan it would help seal the crack, & I thought that if the pan has to come out, I'd do it in small pieces anyway.
OP- Sounds like you are well on your way to a Good Job!

Good point and fix may have been accomplished.

Update to our cracked shower pan, put in the expanding foam and Devcon on the crack now will sand and put on appliques on the floor. Crack fixed and floor looks great. Thanks for all your help.

Thank you all for your suggestions, we went and got some expanding foam and are now waiting for it to dry before working on the inside of the pan.

Super simple short term solution is to put some anti-slip tape over the crack. Place others strips in a pattern and it will look original. Support the bottom first, as mentioned above. I replaced the tape after a year.

I had my cracked shower pan replaced under warranty back in 2005. It still felt as if the support was not adequate under one side so I put some spray foam in there to support the pan. It has lasted ever since. I hope this doesn't jinx it.
