I managed put a small crack in the corner of my acrylic bathtub. Looking underneath it looks like the crack is just to the acrylic, and the fiberglass shell is still in-tact.

Is this enough to hold water? Looking online, the fiberglass does the heavy lifting - but didn't want it to start leaking! I'll repair the cracked acrylic at a later point.

  • I expect it is polyester ,not acrylic.. It would be a problem if water has already gotten into the Fiberglas.

  • Acrylic tubs do crack and if not sealed a blister will form and get worse and your tub can be ruined. It is very difficult to match, I have seen acrylic tubs crack because they were not properly bedded and the flex caused the crack.
