How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Drain the spa below the damaged area before attempting repairs.
- Assess severity: Hairline surface cracks may be cosmetic; deep cracks that leak require structural repair.
- Temporary seal: For small leaks, use a spa-safe underwater epoxy as a temporary fix.
- Professional repair: Acrylic blistering or structural cracks should be evaluated and repaired by a spa shell specialist.
- Prevent recurrence: Maintain proper water chemistry and keep the spa covered when not in use.
