    Cracked Shower Basin
    Hi, we have a shower surround system and now the shower basin is cracked. Is it possible to just replace the shower basin or do we have to replace the entire shower surround system? Thank you for your help! Joyce

    There is a glaze product that is ten-times better than epoxy-putty. I'm trying to remember what it is, but I can't think of it. I take it this is a stand-up shower? How long is the crack? How near the drain is the crack?

    Thanks for your response. It is a stand up shower. The crack is about 6 inches and it doesn' t appear that it has caused any leakage yet, but we stopped using the shower right away. The crack is about 9 inches from the drain.
    Appreciate your help!
