My plastic bathtub in my mobile home has 2 cracks in the bottom of the tub. Can I repair them or do I need to get a new tub?

Sunnie62, i tecommend that you try to determine why the tub cracked first. Why repair or replace if the cracks were caused by the tub being unevely supported? It will only be damaged again. Like if part of the subfloor under the tub got wet and swelled, making that part of the floor higher, it will cause the tub to crack.
