Q: Can you fix a hole in a plastic bathtub?

• <div><p>You're more likely to accidentally crack your plastic tub rather than successfully fixing a hole. You can fix hairline cracks and larger stress cracks with a plastic tub crack repair kit from a home improvement store. You'll need to clean out the tub, apply either the epoxy resin or filler putty compound into the crack, let it dry, and then sand it out.</p><p>Depending on your budget, you might consider a new tub as part of your bathroom remodel costs. It could be a good opportunity to update everything after considering all of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bathroom-remodel-ideas.htm">bathroom remodel ideas</a> out there.</p></div>

Q: Is rust in the bathtub harmful?

• <div><p>Rust in your bathtub occurs when iron in the water or on metal components in your tub are exposed to oxygen, but while it&rsquo;s unsightly, it won&rsquo;t make bathing dangerous. However, if the rust appears under or around your tub spout or shower head, it could indicate that you have high levels of iron in your water. Drinking water with small amounts of iron in it usually doesn&rsquo;t pose a health risk, but you might want to consider installing a water softener. The presence of iron could indicate that you have hard water, which can create some plumbing issues.</p></div>

Q: Do acrylic tubs crack easily?

However, damage may occur as the tub ages. They can also crack from damage from heavy objects and cleaners or a lack of support. </p></div>
