I have a 30cm vertical crack in the bottom of my bathtub. （ It looks like a linear scratch. ）

Can I repair it myself in this case ？

or do I have to buy a new bathtub ？?

First, is the bathtub in your own home ？ or rented ？?

I bought something similar to this at Home Depot and fixed a 20cm black scratch.
It doesn't completely restore it to the way it was before the scratch, but from where I am standing,
I can't even tell where it is. Moreover, it is so dry and crispy that it will not scrape or
peel.

If you search for Bathtub reglazing, there are companies that do special finish painting.

We have a resin bathtub that cracked about 10 years ago and was repaired with epoxy.

However, the epoxy has changed laterally over time, so it looks bad now.

We are planning to repair it with a material that does not discolor by cutting off the discoloration part in due course.

Hiro,

＞ The epoxy has changed laterally over time

What does "lateral change" mean? I looked it up in Kojien, but it was not found.
In any case, it would be a good thing if it lasted for 10 years.

The one I mentioned is only a few dollars, so if the color changes and it becomes noticeable,
you can just repaint it again. If you call a contractor, they will charge you about $80
just for the trip.

Mr. Baikin
I think it is a mistake of yellowing ？
the color has turned yellow ？.

Indeed, it was a yellowing mistake, sorry for the fuss

It was a clear epoxy, but it has yellowed over time.
