CRACK fiberglass shower repair part 2

We figured at the worst; we would ruin the shower.  Then we would have to call the “outfitter” folks.  At the BEST, we could fix it.  The homemade job could be covered with a rubber floor mat, no one the wiser.   Following the YouTube videos, we went slowly.  Some supplies I purchased at our local orange Big Box store.  Sandpaper (it was a certain coarseness) I got at Walmart.  The white repair tape was a bit expensive, we found that on Amazon. The area had to be sanded to get the epoxy to stick.  The caulking had to dry a certain way.  After all was said and done it worked.  If our tub in the guest bath cracks, we already have the supplies, which we will save.

CRAAACK fiberglass shower repair

My Problem:   40-year-old fiberglass shower suddenly developed a floor crack.  What to do?  There was no local reliable repairman who could fix this.  (There used to be one, but he retired and his replacement was doing shoddy work.)  The only alternative was to hire a “bath remodeler” 54 miles away.  The cheapest estimate was going to be 4K but could possibly run $9- 19K easily.  We decided to watch YouTube videos and attempt it ourselves.  You can do it also!  Just take your time and watch multiple videos.  Watch more than one time and pay attention to details and time involved.  Relax, watch them over and over, don’t jump into the repair until you feel confident enough.  It helps if you are well-versed in-home repairs, have some tools, or worked in Maintenance somewhere in your life.  Your goal will be to do it RIGHT the first time.   Supplies needed:  roof seam repair tape also used to fix fiberglass boats (comes in white), sandpaper, caulk, certain size drill bit, epoxy, battery powered drill.
