Tub and Shower Repair Kit - White

This worked very well. Easy instructions. Be sure to read them and follow =D There is a strong smell so cover your mouth and nose. Wear gloves. Be sure to have the exhaust fan on and open a window if you can. If you have a floor fan that would be good too The order goes away really fast as the stuff is drying. This is really white so you can see in the photo the difference. Apparently my stall is a tad off white. The photo really picks up the white. Just looking at it with out camera it blends well. I have had it on for a couple weeks and it is holding up so well. I tried to get someone in to just fix the couple spots. Oh my, they want to redo the entire shower stall $9,000 Come on ??? Thank you for having this product Irene

I had a small chip (1/8"w x 3/16"l x 1/16" deep) in the bottom of the shower. After shopping and reading reviews this product appeared to be the best. IMO they should give more instructions for using a smaller amount. 1/2 jar is probably going to be way too much for most repairs. I used an amount equal what I could dip out with the stick. Probably about the size of the end of my little finger. I mixed in 2 drops of hardener. I applied it with a small, flat toothpick which worked very well. Pushed it into the chip and then overfilled it as directed to account for shrinking. After about an hour I checked what I had on the small piece of cardboard and it was fairly well set but still very slightly pliable. I never wanted to sand this so what I did is to take a brand-new razor blade and carefully slice off small slices off the stop until it was flush. It worked out perfectly! No sanding and re-sanding and polishing or any of that. I wanted to avoid sanding because when that is done you are taking away some of the existing gelcoat which seem counterintuitive to me. You have to be careful and hold the razor blade parallel with the surface but IMO this is the best way to do this in my particular situation.

I used this product to patch some small chips in my tub. The color matched well and it was easy enough to apply. This stuff smells very strong. So strong in fact that you can smell it through the box. Once I was done, I had to put this stuff in 2 ziploc bags, then stuff them inside an old toolbox so it didnt stink up my garage cabinet. As for the bathroom, I kept the fan on and the door open and it only took about a day for it to fully air out. Results look decent, im happy with it at least.

Purchased this based off of others reviews as I normally do. Overall, very impressed. Color did not match exactly but didn’t expect it to since there are probably over 100 varieties of what companies consider white. The chip on my tub was about the shape of a half sized quarter. Took quality painters taped and shaped the area I wanted filled. Used the Harbor Freight’s version of a dremel and sanded down the area within the tape. Directions call for a 1/16” depth. Used the alcohol wipe supplied and cleaned the area. Before mixing the epoxy, turn on the vent fan. The odor is very strong until it sets. Directions call for 1/2 oz. gel mixed with 3-5 drops hardener. I mixed only 1/4 oz with 3 drops and still had enough left over to fill the same area again. Filled the hole as smooth as I could using the stick provided. Don’t apply too thick or you’ll need extra sandpaper after it sets. Epoxy sets in 20 minutes. Once mixed, work it immediately. When happy with the fill, perfection not necessary, remove the tape and let it harden. Directions state 1-3 hours. To be safe, I let it set overnight but that was my preference. Unless you know exactly how much gel you’re using, have ideal temperature and humidity, better to wait. Sand and polish as directed. Was definitely an easy job.

The stick is great for stirring but the wrong tool for application of the gel sealer. Really should include a flexible plastic applicator with a flat 3/4"-1" straight blade on one end and a rounded 1/2" -3/4" diameter rounded edge on the other end to fit into countours. A wooden stick does not work well for application. Stick applicator left uneven edges in a corner repair area. As a result, I sanded down the gel sealer too much and the darker base material started to show through. I had to attempt a second coat this morning and when masking off the adjacent area I noted some of the first coat material was pulled up by the tape - not good adhesion for the product outside the crack I was trying to repair. The excess gel material I didn't use and which was stil on the cardboard appeared to be durable. I did use disposible latex gloves when making the second application as it is difficult to clean up the gell when it gets on your hands/under nails. I also used a gloved finger tip to spot coat a tight corner area where the applicator did not work. Recommend having some mineral spirits handy for cleanup since soap/water doesn't work if it gets on skin.. I think the instructions were pretty good but they might include instructions or a video for masking off the area under repair, cleanup of any messes after application, and for using less than 1/2 jar amounts of the gel sealer.

Our fiberglass shower enclosure had a crack in it that kept expanding over time. While taking showers I'd watch the water run down the wall surface and seep into the crack and I kept thinking "I really should do something about that." After doing a bunch of research I landed on this product, and I obtained kits in both white and biscuit. The biscuit was the better option for my shower's color. Stuff include in the repair kit: Alcohol wipe, two part compound mix, sandpaper, polish, and a wooden spreader similar to a tongue depressor. Stuff I also needed for the repair and already owned: an old towel, a metal file, a blade, a plastic scraper, gloves, and cardboard scraps. 1) I enlarged the crack with my blade, making extra space for the compound to fit into. 2) I roughed up the surrounding surface with sandpaper to ensure it would adhere well. 3) Cleaned up with a vacuum cleaner and wiped down all surfaces with the alcohol. I waited for that to air dry, about 10 minutes. 4) Mixed several drops of hardener (clear tube) with the biscuit colored gel. Open a window first, the stuff is potent. 5) Spread into the crack while the compound is still soft. It will harden over time but I got my repair area filled within a few minutes. 6) I waited 2 hours for it to harden and then started wet sanding. First with 400 grit, then with 600 grit. I really had to take my time with this step to get the surface smooth and to sand away most of the compound to get the filled portion even with the original surface. 7) Once the surface was even, the surrounding area was dull by comparison to the other areas of the shower. Using a cloth rag, rub the included polish all over the repair area and surrounding areas. 8) Let dry for a day or two. All in all I'm satisfied with the repair. I think the finished patch is only slightly noticeable. From 10 feet away you can't see it, and when you're in the shower you probably won't notice it unless you know to look for it. 5 stars!

A pea sized nick turned in to a full blown hole in the molded "shelf" edge of our shower. This kit was just the ticket to get it fixed. Is it perfect? Nope but it's fixed and it works. First off I picked white because our shower is white... Apparently it's not bright white though which is what this kit definitely is. So the patch didn't match at all but whatever. I worried about the smell from all the reviews but really it smells exactly like going to the nail salon. With an open window or fan no big deal. I was apprehensive about getting things right so I planned to use half the kit. The sand paper is tiny but the pea sized hole didn't need a ton of material so I cut the pieces in half. I only mixed up half the product, piled it into the hole and around the surrounding edge, let it dry, sanded it and then realized I'd screwed up. In my zeal to smooth in the patch I nearly created a horrible new issue by sanding way too much of the edges and area around the patch - so much so that the surrounding area had thinned enough to be somewhat transparent. This could very easily be due to the shower insert being total junk (probably true given the development of the original hole) but I'd caution you to not sand too hard or too long. The hole was also filled but there was a bit of a depression remaining. The great thing about only using half the supplies was that I didn't stress out about fixing what I'd goofed. I mixed up the remainder of the product and spread it a bit thickly over the now larger repair area. Once dry I much more carefully sanded and then polished. Because I was nervous to over sand the patch area isn't perfectly flush but it's very solid and perfectly bonded. If I wanted to get super crazy I'd buy another kit to go back one more time to really feather it in but at this point I am not sure it's worth it since the hole is technically fixed. There may be a better way to deal with holes - maybe something with a bit of a backer would be easier and I am not sure how large an area you could repair with this but for little nicks or cracks I think this stuff is great.

Pleased with product, no complaints. NOTE: for a perfect color match, purchase a product from the SAME manufacturer of your tub. In other words, a white repair kit will not match your white tub. Each MFG has a different color of white.

Our bathtub in a brand new build (products aren't the same as they used to be) chipped. This product works really well. A year after install it's still rock hard and isn't flaking off. Be sure to create a square with painters tape to make it look good. Beware- the smell is very strong. Would highly reccomended.

It does what it says.

Purchased this to fix a chip in a shower pan. The pan is bright white and this is marketed as bright white, I know there are countless shades of white and this was not bad, but the color difference was noticeable on a small 1.5" x 1/16" chip. So far the product has worked as advertised, sanded well, smell was not bad considering what I've read on the reviews, easy to use, good instructions. The polishing paste amount is minimal and if you are going to use the full amount I suggest you get more paste. Same with the sandpaper. I was surprised and disappointed that inside the shipping box was a label for this product indicating it cost of $16.99, when I paid $39.99. Everything is over inflated in price and I see this is no exception. I Wish Amazon would work more to keep their customers happy with reasonably price items.

I noticed a flaw in the gel coat of a shower base after it’s installation and successfully repaired it with the Tub and Shower Repair Kit. The instructions were helpful and the process was quite easy. I used a rotary power tool for polishing after sanding and while the color is off, the end result is quite acceptable.

Bought for my tub that has a hole . It works great .
