Bathtub Crack Repair in Springfield, MO
A crack in a bathtub is more than an eyesore — it flexes underfoot, lets water seep into the floor below, and only gets worse. We repair the crack properly, reinforce it so it stops moving, and refinish over it so the fix disappears.

Why tub cracks need real repair
Fiberglass and acrylic tubs crack when the floor underneath flexes — usually from an unsupported spot under the tub. A dab of caulk or a hardware-store kit hides it for a few weeks, then the crack opens right back up. We fix the actual cause: we fill the crack, bond and reinforce it from the surface so it no longer flexes, then refinish the area smooth.
The hidden danger of a leaking crack
Water getting through a cracked tub floor rots the subfloor and can reach the ceiling below. If your tub feels soft or spongy where the crack is, that is a sign water has already been getting through — call us before it becomes a much bigger repair.
Cracks we repair
Stress cracks and spider cracks on the tub floor, cracks around the drain, hairline cracks along the walls of the tub, and cracks in fiberglass showers and surrounds. If you can see it or feel it, we can almost always fix it.

Crack Repair — Questions
Can a cracked bathtub really be repaired, or do I need a new tub?
The large majority of cracked tubs can be repaired for a fraction of replacement cost. We reinforce the crack so it stops moving and refinish over it. Send a photo by text and we will tell you honestly whether it is repairable.
Will the crack repair be visible?
No — after we fill and reinforce the crack, we refinish the surface so the repaired area blends into the rest of the tub.
My tub floor feels soft near the crack. Is that a problem?
A soft or spongy spot means the tub is flexing and water may be getting through. We can add reinforcement under or at the crack so the floor feels solid again. It is best to address this early.
