Repair Hairline Crack In Shower Tray
If replacing, think about how to possibly do it without totally destroying shower area. Is your shower flush to floor or on a riser? If it's on a riser you have a good chance of getting a new one in without retiling. I've done it.
Cut/break up the old tray to remove it in pieces. This makes it possible to cut away all the old silicon. Hopefully you can get a new tray in by sliding in to position.
Some trays come with screw-up riser legs ( e.g. Justtrays) as an option.
If you use these you can slide a new tray in and jack it up under the existing tiles. Maybe you have to remove the bottom tile row and refix. It's a fiddly job but can be done. Hopefully the waste is in an accessible location to re-attach.
Used for decorative floor patterns and shower flooring, terrazzo is a unique substance generally consisting of pieces of ground or chipped materials such as marble, granite or glass mixed with a cement binder. The mixture is poured like concrete into graphs that set the boundaries for the flooring or fixture. After hardening, the terrazzo mixture is smoothed and polished for a sleek, glossy finish.
Terrazzo shower bases are usually only a few inches thick, which sometimes crack due to foundation movement. Hairline cracks in terrazzo are similar to those found in cement and can be fixed at home. Things You'll Need.
