Replace This Tub Before It Decides To Murk Me
Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name's Serah and my tub is a fucking disaster!
That's my tub, btw. In the header image. So you sort of know what we're dealing with here.
tl;dr: each of those bright white patches are covering a crack. A not insignificant not just cosmetic yeah there's definitely an issue here chief crack. We gotta get those fixed and by fixed I mean we need to replace the whole thing.
the ntl;wtr: I live in a double wide modular home, and this is the tub in what passes for the master bathroom. It is over fifteen years old and (as happens with tubs in mobile homes) began to sag as the styrofoam form under it gave in to the pressure of being used, you know, every day to wash human beings. Like one should expect when one is a shower.
The cracks are the final straw on the camel's back. The center of the tub is dipping and will eventually give up the ghost, likely dumping whoever is in it- that is to say, me, this is my bathroom- through the subfloor to be deposited on top of the water pump.
I'd really like to not fall through my floor onto the water pump. I have this visceral fear of water pumps meeting my feet through water-damaged fiberboard, it's a whole thing.
I've had a professional come out to take a look, and have gotten a quote from his company to replace the tub and shower. It's within industry standard, and industry standard took one look at me and started laughing.
So.
Here we all are.
