You cannot add tile to a fiberglass base. Tile requires a smooth and flat base but does not adhere properly to fiberglass surfaces. Fiberglass showers are budget-friendly and install quickly, but are not suited for future remodels. When you install tile on the shower, you risk the tiles loosening over time and breaking off the shower. As the tiles loosen, water settles underneath, and the moisture buildup can cause mold and mildew.
Trying having unit spray painted for 350.00 worth every cent all you need after is cleaning with dawn dishsoap
Great idea.
sorry for that amount of money....it should be professionally done....I have lived in two houses the last forty seven years....always had it done professionally and it have lasted upward to ten and twelve years just cleaning it with dawn dishwashing liquid...check out local craigslist or newspapers for advertising of these services....you are in Georgia...I am certain their is someone who does this.....get referrals....
These can be replaced pretty cheap too - so look in to that too.
