crack of the bath tub surround

Page 1 of 1
Hi,

Our bath tub has quite major cracks on the edges and where two surround wall join together. Also the some titles on the surround wall crack. What's the best way to fix this? Given the size of the crack, I don't think filler would work but do we need to knock down the whole tub surround and re do it?

Thank you.

You really need to investigate the cause. It seems that water might have got into the frame causing it to expand.
You may need to remove the tiles and replace the wall lining under neath and then waterproof proprerly for a permanent fix.
More caulking is just not going to fix the problem.
Looks like there's been a problem there for some time
