Hole in fiberglass tub (Shannon: home builders, construction, cost)

[eisunset]

I have a hole in my fiberglass bathtub that isn't too big - about a top of a pencil eraser size. Easy to fix myself? How? or who to call that won't cost an arm and a leg?

There are repair kits available at Home Depot, Lowes. Should be that difficult to repair.

I can't offer any advice that hasn't already been offered up but I HAVE to ask....how did you get a pencil eraser sized hole in your bath tub?

Try Shannon Warren at Surface Specialists. 919-557-6600 or 919-369-6894. I needed some work on a shower pan and he did an excellent job. When he was at my house we discovered something funny.

He does work for a lot of area home builders when they have construction issues and it turns out he had fixed a minor problem with a tub in my house when it was being built. I had noticed it at the framing stage and told the super and we had a deal that if he could fix it so I could not tell, I would not make him replace the tub but if I couldn't, he would have to do it as part of our punch list, which meant they would have to tear out half the bathroom. They had Surface Speciaists fix it and I can tell you, that knowing exactly where the spot was and working in commercial construction so I pick up on stuff the average person would not, I could not tell it had been worked on at all.
