my god. i have a tiny crack on a one piece tub/shower insert which was installed when they rough framed the house. I have been planning on a full remodel ( $$$ ). I never knew this existed. TY!!!
Nice job Danny I’ve missed your vlogs
Question? Might be a stupid question but does the method work for mobile home tube s? Like is it the same fiberglass? Do i do extra prep...thanks...great vids
I am on the process of buying a house and i noticed that there is a crack, i am not sure how long it has being cracked. You think that water could have gone through and created mold on wood?
Paint ? Isnt the shower pan gel coat ? I wouldn’t think spray paint would stand up to daily use of a shower . Did you sand the entire bottom section before painting ?
Thanks, I know the perfect fix: I won't be opting for the fiberglass base. Also, was there even any dry pack supporting that base? Something definitely caused the crack to begin with
My shower Trey was 6 years ago but about 4 months ago I noticed there was a crack halfway around the actual drain.
It doesn't seem to be any support around the drained so I guess that why it cracked in the first place.
Can I fix that with what you are showing on this?
Yes!
Wow good job, how much you spend on material? I just got a new tub and surround WALL done under 3k. This handyman guy charge 2k for labor With new pipe and all new shower fixtures, and I supply the new tub and surround wall from homedepot $799. I love it. Like brand new updated looks.
i paid about $70 everything , but only use very little for my repair , total cost est. $2
Thanks for the video. Is the bondo a requirement for this type of repair?
GREAT MUSIC!
Thank You!
Are fiberglass shower pans more susceptible to cracking in pier and beam houses that inevitebly move a bit here and there? My shower pan just cracked and I heard a contractor say fiberglass pans sometimes will crack on pier and beam houses that move a bit.
Was there a high spot left ?
Can you feel and see there’s been a patch ?
Looks good what did you charge client for that ?
Wow Danny seamless!!!! Perfecto💙
how long does it take for bondo to dry?
Do I need to use the bondo? Or will the fibreglass resin work without the bondo putty?
Hey! Your videos have been a great help, thank you!!
Question: Do you have any experience using muriatic acid to etch porcelain? Is there anything I can purchase at a home depot / Lowe’s / sherwin Williams to etch a tub, without having to order products online?
Also krylon tub and tile is nearly impossible to come by where I’m from (Michigan), I’m using a 2 part krylon enameled epoxy that’s a satin finish, but it’s not ‘tub and tile’. Thoughts? Do you have any more readily available alternatives you can suggest?
If you had to do a tub tomorrow, and had to buy everything in store on the same day. What would you buy to etch and paint it?
THANKS AGAIN ❤️❤️
Bathworks Acid Etch from Home Depot
Can you show us a crash done near overflow drain? I have one and can’t afford to replace bathtub. Thanks.
do you have any videos on repairing a crack on the side wall specifically in the area where it contours? I have 1 crack about 7 inches long, contacted some companies to repair it and they all came back with wanting to reglaze the entire tub which is perfect already aside from this 1 crack and their quotes were astronomical. Can you recommend a reputable company that is nationwide. I live in San Diego, California. I may attempt this myself but I'm wondering if it's more challenging in a corner area and whether I need to drill or foam because its not in the basin area where someone stands. Please link a video to a repair job and/or refer me to a reputable company such as yours that won't rake me over the coals. Thank you
Yes
@@DPTubs please drop a link to that video so I can see process.
@@DPTubs @ do you need to polish the surface after painting ?
Great job! Why did you drill holes at each end of the crack?
It helps stop the crack from continuing even underneath the patch
Do you need a mat if it’s for cracks if the cracks are on the sides of the inside of the tub?
i fix the side top edge a 2,5 inches long small crack without use mat , so far it hold ( i had told everyone don't step on that spot ! )
Good video
Thank you!
Hey my man. How much do you charge to resurface a tub?
$395-$425
How long will this Rust-Oleum protective enamel last? The manufacturer says it's not waterproof, but if it'll last many months...
It lasts quite as long as it is taken care of properly when cleaned.
@@DPTubs thanks, and how should it be cleaned?
@@DPTubs hey Danny don't know if this would help you down the road but RUSTOLEUM TOPSIDE MARINE PAINT sponge rolled on has lasted in my mobile home basin after repair so far 8 years without a chip, crack, peel, or redo
Would this work for a trailer shower I feel like the floor will cave in on me any second and being prego im at my wits end waiting for a man’s “help”
What are the drying times for each step?
Curious too. We're both about to find out I guess lmao
in between about 15 minutes or so
New tray
The people watching this video could care less about the freaking music and especially how loud it is. It's freaking music you don't need and then it's way too loud.
@@SleepyHead-z4w ok and I could care less about this freaking comment!
What is the purpose of drilling 2 holes?!?!?!!
The holes on each end of the crack is to stop it from continuing. Same principle as to fixing a stress crack in metal before repairing with a weld.
Crack will end when you drill holes.
The links don't match the products you've used in the video. In the video you don't use the same names for the products as in the links, so its hard to guess exactly what you're doing/using. There are WAY more links than products used or mentioned. Also FYI background music isn't helpful, its distracting. It looks like you know what youre doing, but its not conveyed in a precise manner.
Message me on instagram what your project is or send me a picture and I will help you with the material list and links
This guy is doing so many things wrong it’s not even funny. I am an actual professional unlike this guy. Im the lead tech and I actually train techs how to do this very thing. What would you like to know?
@@cry_now_laugh_later do you have a video or instructions that you could refer on the way you'd do it?
@@cry_now_laugh_laterI’d like to know the correct products and procedures for this specific issue he showed in the video. Please 😊
lose the annoying music
I love the music! Please keep it!
hey i have a pretty significant crack in my shower pan. is it the same procedure but use bondo glass?
