I have 3 cracks raidiating out from the drain in the base. Does anyone know where to purchase a product to seal over the floor? Neil

Hi wool an, one of our members, Philc, has repaired his shower base. Search his name, he is a nice guy, loves to help. Good luck with it.

Hi woolman, here's a couple of threads started by Phil last year. He has recently completed a return trip across the Nullabor and as far as I can remember didn't report any issues. You can PM him if you have any questions.

Gday woolman,

Yes we had a similar issue. I had to put heavy duty fiberglass over the floor and finish the job with flowcoat. We have not had any problems with the floor since. Doing the fiberglass is not so easy, but a few lessons on youtube got me in the swing of how to go about the task.

Although ours is not the neatest and may worry the resale value (if we ever sell the van) it works a treat. Make sure you have plenty of ventilation as the fumes are a bit yukky.

Cheers

Thanks to all for your replies. Not doing it today, too cold to have windows open.
