How do I repair a acrylic bath\shower ?
Monday, May 21st, 2007dimpleburrows
I’m doing a remodel and installed a new shower surround. It is made of fiberglass reinforced acrylic. While I was installing the drain and vent stack a little PVC primer\cleaner splashed on the tub. I did not notice at the time and the primer melted several little holes in the acrylic. To make it worse I was using ABS primer and it turned the little holes black on a white tub. The holes aren’t huge maybe 1\64 of an inch deep and 1\16 around but they cover an area of about a square foot. The tub is a Kohler sonata and the holes are right on the front at eye level. I need an invisible fix, maybe where I could buy a repair kit or some old plumbers trick
