Cracked shower
Trying to figure out what product we should use to repair a crack in our Minuet's standing shower, any recommendations? Just added waterproof tape for now...
Thank you!

if it is ABS, you can melt some ABS in MEK to make a Goo. It will take about a day to melt. Then, rub the crack with MEK on a cloth to soften it. After that, use a small paint brush to apply a few coats. A piece of fiberglass cloth between the coats would ensure a strong repair.

Wont the repair be more ugly than the crack?
I don’t know, but if you could fix the crack from behind, the repair would probably look better.

You are right, but I want to fix crack, sand it and repaint the shower pan and sink with some "Tough as tile".

You work the backside of the crack, not the front. Will be almost invisible
