Crack in plastic shower wall Lance 1172

It is possible to weld the crack.

I had the same thing happen in another camper. Took it to a good fiberglass repair place and it looked as good as new!

Depends on the size/length of the crack. Sounds like it may be minor. If so, after removing the tap set, I would drill a small hole-maybe one eighth inch-at the end of the crack so that it won't run anymore; "vee" out along the crack with a Dremel or v-file; fill the crack with epoxy; sand smooth with 220 grit or finer after epoxy sets.

Replacing the shower surround could be a big job involving more than just the surround.......damage to walls, new taps, modify water lines, etc.

In my mind, and without seeing it, I would go with the repair unless you have the aptitude/ability to replace it yourself.

Good side is that it won't leak, bad side might be that the colours may not match.........

Hope this helps...........

There are also folks who socialize in this . Look up shower an bathtub repair near you

The one in my Class C did the same thing, i fixed it with epoxy, I'm not a pro, and it doesn't look like a pro did it, since DW and I are the only ones that have to look at, it really doesn't matter all that much, but it worked.

I had a crack in the base of my last camper and this is what I did:

I drilled a hole at the end/ apex of the crack in hopes any forces would disperse around that hole and not continue further.
I filled the crack/ drilled holes as best I could with flexible caulk and applied an appropriate size piece of trimmed- to- fit EternaBond over it.

do you need it pretty? or just functional. I had one appear in my suround and I found the almond Geocell calking did a fine job of sealing it up and holding it togeather.

Places that do Fiberglass boat repairs can probably fix that right up for you and make it look good.

Is it fiberglass or some sort of acrylic?

In my experience NOTHING sticks to acrylic. Had a cracked shower pan in my TC. Tried epoxy, no dice. Fiberglass and resin, fuggeddaboutit. No amount of roughing and cleaning would make it stick. Like eggs off a teflon pan.

If fiberglass, you've got it made.

Check the basement area under the shower. My 2014 1181 had shims under the shower pan that had fallen out. I caught that defect before it became a bigger problem.
