We put a tub surround in our bathroom about two years ago. I has developed one crack and a few are in the works. Is there a smart way to fix the crack(s) that anyone can recommend?

Thanks!!

Can you determine if stress is causing the cracks, or just shrinkage cracks in the product?



Let us know where they are located in the unit.

I don't know how to determine that... any hints would be appreciated.

The cracks are where the grout would be if the tiles on it were real... on the largest flat surface of the tub surround, in the middle but slightly more towards where the tub surround curves to the other wall.

Thanks!!
