Thank you. I had a few cracks. One was bad. I followed your instruction exactly and it looks amazing. The floor of the tub is now very solid and the paint from Krylon (Buscuit color) matched up perfectly. Also replaced all of the chromed shower parts and it looks like a brand new shower. I am shocked at how well it worked out for us. Thank you. This video saved me thousands of dollars on a shower/tub insert replacement. Thank you
I want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR for this video!!! My aged parents had someone come out to give an estimate of why the tub was leaking. They were quoted $3000 plus to repair and $8000 to replace. My parents are on a fixed budget. I went to visit (I live 4hrs away) and inspect it myself. No water marks or stains around the fixtures. None where my dad said water was coming out the wall. I noticed a crack in the tub. I watched your STEP BY STEP video about five or six times to build my confidence to see if I would attempt the repair!! THANK YOU again because I did, and it came out perfect!!! Can't tell a crack was even there to begin with. It also fixed the water leak!!!! Thank God for people like you to help people like me and my parents not to be taken advantage of!! HUGE THUMBS UP!!! THANK YOU AGAIN! Your awesome!!
Excellent video works like a charm!
of all the videos I found, this was the most helpful. Thanks for not cutting the camera during "boring" parts - those were the ones I needed to see. Thanks!
I love when vids like these show up early in the results. youre simple, yet effective bro, nice work! You give others the confidence to attempt fiberglass work / tub repair
Honestly I watch all yalls channels and enjoy them.
I’m on disability and the holes are getting worse going to try fixing our tub watching all you’re videos thank you for sharing as I am the type of person who learns from watching I appreciate you sending love 💕
So I’m about to apply the smoothing putty to my tub! I have followed all of your steps so far and it’s actually working!!! I’m so excited I will be able to take a bath again soon!!! Mine looks like yours so far, I’m feeling good about it! Thanks so much, my beautiful whirlpool tub is all tiled in and we were not wanting to tear it out. Thanks for sharing your trade secrets!!
That is a lot of work! But the end result was fabulous. Never knew you could repair a tub like that!
Thank you for your video! Fiberglass resin is the bomb!!! Works as you described in your video. I’m pleased with the outcome.
Great work dude you're a freakin' wizard!
Enjoyed watching this. Something I’ve never seen before. You do great work!
Thank you so much. Easy job. Took me 3 hours and it looks beautiful. Keep those vids coming.
Wanted to say thanks along with everyone else. Just bought a house and really don’t have much of a “safety net” for repairs on things. Our tub was sketchy when we first moved in and we noticed a lot of give in areas. After about 6 months a small crack appeared in the floor. This video helped me save a ton and taught me a new life skill. The job wasn’t pretty….but I fixed the sagging floor based off your videos and patched the many stress fractures in the base of the tub and a large crack on the sidewall. Primer is drying over night and then I’ll sand and use the krylon from the video. Thank you so much for willingly showing this process on here for those of us daring enough to try our hands at it. You’re a modern day hero.
I have a fiberglass tub with stress cracks, I called someone local ( I live in NJ) and they wanted over $800 to repair. I watched your video multiple times and did the job myself over the weekend. I could have sanded the putty better, but I am really pleased with the results! Not only did I repair the cracks, but after watching your video I also removed and re-calked the tub - looks brand new!!! Fingers crossed I did it right, and no leaks lol!!!
Thank you dude!! Great help!!! You rock! May the Good Lord bless your business immensely!!!
Great Job!!! Looks amazing!!! definitely looks way better than the previous work that was done!!!!! Top Notch!!!!!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL work!!!!!!!! 🤩
