Bob, if it's a manufactured home (such as my house is) it don't take much to crack em, as they're usually right under a sky-light so the sunlight weakens the plastic (YES PLASTIC) of the tub, and the plastic is hardly as thick as a darn ziplock disposable bowl.. And not supported underneath very well.. and over time, if you're a big guy, such as I am, it will break.. Which mine did.. twice.

The first time it was fixed (before I lived here) with what appears to had been fiberglass patch.

The second time we replaced.. and lucky for us, the pan in a "manufactured home" is a odd size, so major changes would have had to been made to the bathroom (2" shorter than a usual tub, again, IIRC)..

The new tub pan for mine was nearly $500, once I found one that would fit in the bathroom.. but it appears to be fiberglass, and a lot thicker than the original, and we "supported" it a lot better than the original.

To answer the question, I don't know what exactly to use, but I'd surely try to patch it.. Worst it'd do is not work.

Brad
