Hi there

I have a white bath that is definately not the old fashioned solid type. It seems like plastic but I can not be sure of it's exact material. It has a few tiny chips in it and I am worried that it will crack eventually. How should I go about protecting it from cracking?

Thanks,

Rachel

If it is an acrylic bath (sounds like it is) there isn't really anything you can do to fill in a chip. Usually these only affect the shiny surface of the bath - you'd know if the chip had pierced the fibreglass as it would leak. If the bath moves with cracks might develop but they would anyway under those circumstances.
This article talks about resurfacing with epoxy but it sounds to me like the epoxy would float off after a while.

Not Advertising just passing on
Acrylic baths are cheap as chips (well, you can get one for around 60 Squidlies), so you might as well just replace it.
It shouldn't crack right through. It'll just be chips in the initial "gel coat". That's usually the first coat in the mould, before the re-inforced coats go on.

This is about all you can do to improve the look of it.............
