    The kids must of drop something heavy as there is a crack in the bottom. The bath is only about 4yrs old and very light, are these ones made of fiberglass?. If so I was going to get a fiberglass kit and fix it that way, any ideas?
    Thanks

    Exact same thing happened to me a few weeks back, I just smeared a coating of silicone over the crack, and it seems to have done the trick.

    Silicone is inviting disaster if it breaks down (or 8 year old picks at) in future.
