Repairing Scratches on Fiberglass Tub

A hole in a fiberglass tub Post By Jeane Swaynos (Guest Post) (01/30/2006) My daughter who lives in an apartment was cleaning her fiberglass tub and ther is now a hole the size of a quarter in the tub. How can we go about repairing this or who should we contact. We have worked with fiberglass before and we think there might have been a flaw in the tub. She was using a cleaner that was approved for fiberglass. She saw a small mark that would not come out and continuted working on it until there was a hole. Please advise.

Just ask, they should be able to give you some options. I am not sure you need to refinish the tub, though. You may be able to get by waxing it. That should bring the shine back and protect it. The hardware store probably has some wax to offer and I believe it is essentially car wax, so that should work too. Sorry to hear about the tub! You would think someone who cleaned for a living would know better. You do not need to replace the tub, though.
