nice one tho james as all bathrooms need tiles so effectively not off topic if using a bath which will need tiles to remain waterproof hence very strong link.......

Okay so got some of this to repair the boat
http://www.force4.co.uk/department/main ... uaNE8lFDqA
And also some gelcoat repair from the same company.

According to force 4 this stuff is strong enough to fill the damage and hold. They had full glass fibre repair kits but said this will do the job comfortably.... also have lots of tiny stress cracks in the transom so will just fill with the glass fibre paste and rub down...... its a 250 quid boat lets not forget.
