Jun 25, 2018 Step 4 As soon as the crack has been channeled out, wipe it clean with a solvent like acetone and, using a plastic putty knife, flush-fill it with gelcoat matched to the color of the surrounding area (if the channel isn’t too deep); polyester filler (if the channel is of medium depth); or polyester resin and fiberglass strands (if the channel is very deep and wide).
Fiberglass is known for its durability and it’s definitely better than metal and ceramic. That is why most homeowners prefer tubs that are made from this material. However, if the tub ends up with insufficient support or if it’s exposed to constant abuse, you’ll sooner or later notice the presence of cracks on its surface. If these aren’t repaired or treated immediately, they’ll grow bigger and deeper, thus totally damaging the fixture. Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to repair hairline cracks in a fiberglass tub. Here’s a DIY guide for your reference.
1. Use your preferred household cleaner to clean the affected area. Ensure that it is free from stains, dirt and mold to make the adhesive stick effectively. Once you’re done scrubbing the area with a sponge, rinse it with tap water and wipe it dry with a lint-free cloth or rag.
2. Now get a fine-grit emery cloth and sand the affected area. Brush all the dirt away with a lint-free rag.

The epoxy repair kit mixes to a white color, but the almond/bisque pigment can be added for color matching. Use to repair bathtubs, shower stalls, surrounds and sinks. For use on plastic, fiberglass.
3. Prepare the fiberglass bonding agent or adhesive. Carefully apply it onto the crack with the brush that came with your kit. You may also use a small paint brush for this task. Paint the crack and apply the adhesive up to an inch long. Let the area dry and ensure that you’ll follow the instructions on the kit carefully.
4. When it’s already dry, fill the hairline crack with the fiberglass filler using a putty knife. If you see any excess putty, scrape it off with the knife as well. Once again, let the area dry.How To Repair A Crack In A Fiberglass Sink Pipe
5. Sand the repaired area with a fine-grit emery cloth again. Do so until the surface is already level. Once done, brush off the dirt or wipe them away with a lint-free rag.
6. Time to coat the surface! Check on the repair kit’s instructions and follow them carefully to create the epoxy gel mixture the right way.
7. When the coating is ready, use a small paint brush to apply it onto the patched surface. Paint the hairline crack and extend the coating to up two inches around.How To Repair A Crack In A Fiberglass Sink Drains
8. Now cut a fiberglass cloth that will fit onto the repaired area. Press it firmly onto the wet epoxy coating and then run your putty knife across the cloth. Doing so will remove the air bubbles trapped under it. Make sure that the fiberglass cloth is flat on the surface.
9. Apply epoxy mixture onto the fiberglass cloth.
10. Finally, apply the finish coating or sealer that’s included in your kit. Use a paint brush to accomplish this task.

Surface Specialists offers various types of sink repairs including fixing chips, burns, stains, cracks and other sink damage for cultured marble, porcelain and cast iron sinks.
Do you have cracks spiraling around the sink drain which look similar to a sunburst? This is referred to as a thermal shock crack and is a common issue with cultured marble. When hot water is run directly into the sink while it is cold, it can cause thermal shock cracks in a sink. Generally if you have 2 sinks in your bathroom, the sink bowl that will crack is used by the male of the household - as a result of running hot water for shaving first thing in the morning.
Fiberglass sink damage can result when the faucet is pushed too firmly into place. Sink cracks can also appear when hit from behind or items dropped in the sink bowl can cause chips or cracking. Porcelain and enamel sinks wear with age and can also be chipped or cracked.
