Does anyone have any suggestions on repairing a crack in the bottom of a shower? Have caulked several times and does not work.

Thanks,

Ronda

Fiberglass? Plastic?
There are repair kits for both types that the manufaturer can provide. Usually, if a tub floor cracks, there are issues with the support under the tub/shower (between the tub and the floor). In most cases, the styrofoam was not tall enough, or has collapsed slightly. You may have to address this issue before you can keep the crack from re-appearing.

I've used Bondo body putty. Get the small tube hanging in the auto body section at Walmart. It cost 3 bucks and you can sand it smooth. Then get the Fusion paint for 3 bucks to finish the project. The fusion paint can be second coated after 30 seconds so you don't get runs. I would then use the clear coat to ensur ethe paint last longer.

You do want to make sure that the shower does not re-crack as a result of the structure moving or being unsupported...

Good luck.
