Bathtub breakage - how to fix
Comments

For that price i woold buy another bath tub and fit it properlyPostik said:I think you could mess around with fillers, resins and repair kits but without sufficient practice I doubt it will ever look much good. I think I would just bite the bullet and pay one of the plastic repair people (I expect it to cost in the region of £150 - £300). As well as filling and sanding it smooth they will also paint it, and blend the paint in with the surrounding area.I've read a lot of complaints where such a repair starts to peel and become visible again - I suspect when it's in a high traffic area or sprayed with acidic cleaning products. However on the edge like that, I would expect a repair to last.I have a hairline crack in exactly the same place as yours. I was quoted £150 to fix it but as it's barely noticeable I didn't ever bother.

Long shot but you could check if there are any places or contractors with 3D printers and see if someone would be able to print a new piece for you. No idea on costs though.0
