Bathtub Repair Guides

Use these repair-only guides to understand bathtub and shower damage before requesting an estimate. The goal is to explain what photos to send, what questions matter and which repair page fits the damage.

Start with the damage type

Choose the guide that matches what you see: chip, crack, hole, soft bottom, leaking shower pan crack, acrylic damage, porcelain/enamel chip, fiberglass damage or cultured marble damage.

These guides do not replace an in-person inspection

Photos help narrow the estimate, but hidden water damage, movement, plumbing leaks and weak support can change what repair is safe.

Is it repairable or replacement?

Next step

Send photos before scheduling so the repair type, material and expectations can be reviewed. Include the city, material if known, and whether the damaged area leaks, moves, feels soft or has been repaired before.

Use the guides like a repair decision path

These guides are meant to help a customer describe the problem clearly before calling or texting. They do not replace an in-person inspection, but they help avoid bad estimates and wasted trips.

ChipSend a close-up, a wide photo, and a size reference. Mention whether dark metal, rust, or rough edges are visible.
CrackMention whether the crack flexes, leaks, spreads, or sits on a standing area like a tub floor or shower pan.
HoleShow the whole fixture and the hole from multiple angles so the shape, location and water risk can be judged.
Cultured marbleShow the pattern, color, chip or crack location, and whether the damage is on a vanity, shower wall, tub deck or surround.
