Hello and thank u so much for your videos! I was wondering why you switched up and didnt use the Z123 and Rustolium as you did in some earlier videos? Is what you just used better? Or just needed for this type of tub?
I have a big hole in the corner curve, how can I get good support behind it without going behind the tub through the drywall
Iam also working in bathtub repairing company in dubai
It is fiber glass resin necessary to hold the mesh better, isn't?
Ehy u dont show on the videos that u refill water on the bath to check?
Great video
Can u please write the leveles of the product u used?whith what u start ?and what sand paper u used
Yes I can
First thank u bro for helping
I dont have that products in my country and im new with that
I found only on ebay one people that agree to send me the bondo hair wich shipping cost allot of money around 85$
So i bought that and the kit of bondo resin
But do i have to do bondonall purpose after the bondo hair?because i dont found who can sen me that.(I found bondo glazying and spot putty 4.5oz) Its ok?@@DPTubs
Wondering why didnt you spray the whole tub? Looks good tho🤙
The customers budget usually determines what I do!
That’s never going to hold
Needs foam underneath to support and should have used the fiberglass resin
I always test the areas to see if foam is needed! At the cove or curve of the tub the amount of flex was minimal. Foam was not needed. That would have been an unnecessary upcharge to my customer.
Also the Bondo glass serves perfectly for a repair like this.
The problem is that you are assuming there is no support underneath. I actually physically stood on the tub. There is no need or space for foam injection under the tub unless I wanted it to create hump. I appreciate the comment but it’s very difficult for someone to accurately assess a job without physically being there.
How well does the high performance enamel work?
It actually works great! I’ve been using it more over the past year and have had great results! I use it for repairs only on specific colored tubs.
Problem with builder homes they use these cheap fiberglass tub/shower one pieces cause they are cheap and easy to install when the house is just studs. And because they are lazy and don't properly bed them this will happen. Stress cracks only happen due to a lack of support, even if the tub feels firm it's shifting still form the weight of water + person. Situations like this to be more permanent really need to do exactly what you did but then a hole cut in the side or through the adjoining wall and self leveling compound or slow expanding foam (used around doors and windows not to warp the frame) injected in while the tub is full of water. Neither of these will push up on the tub and should bond the tub bottom to the floor.
'self supporting' fiberglass and acrylic is a bunch of lies and I've seen builders throw scraps under a tub to save on plaster when actually bedding a tub it's disgusting. If you want a tub + shower always go with a enameled steel tub with separate surround. Steel has a fatigue limit where it can be stress cycled forever and will never fail. Only thing that will fail is the enamel and that is repairable with no worries about leaks.
Good sir,
I’m sure you work hard, and has all the best intentions in the world, but this is not how a professional repairs and refinishes cracked fiberglass or acrylic tubs.
Sorry I’ve been in the industry for 20 years! I wouldn’t recommend anything that didn’t work or put my name on it.
You need to show him a thing or 2 so his stuff can look “BRAND NEW NEWWW” 😉
