I have a fiberglass shower floor that has been leaking occasionally over the last few years. I re-caulk and it works for about a 2 years, but then starts to leak again. From searching the posts here, I realize that the floor was probably not bedded correctly, and it gives each time we step on it, and eventually breaks the seal. What I can't find here in the forum (my apologies if it has been answered) is there any way to permanently fix it without ripping out the floor and rebedding it? Thanks!

is there any way to permanently fix it without ripping out the floor and rebedding it? I need more information. Is this shower on a slab or second floor? *Is there any way you can get under the shower floor to bed it? By "recaulk" do you mean that you removed the drain and replaced the putty seal? Back to you, Tom

... and also: is the crack on the side or on the bottom where you stand ?
