How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Drain the spa before attempting any shell repair.

  • Assess severity: Hairline surface cracks that do not leak may be cosmetic. Deeper cracks or blisters that leak require repair.
  • Temporary patch: For small leaks, use a spa-safe underwater epoxy or acrylic repair kit as a temporary fix.
  • Professional repair: Significant shell damage often requires professional acrylic repair or shell replacement.
