About six months ago, I had the shower wall repaired by a Corian expert. I had a crack running from the shower control valves opening, through a screw holding the grab bar, up to near the top left corner, apparently stopping at the shampoo shelf. The expert removed the entire slab and repaired the crack. He thought the problem came from the screws biting into the Corian instead in the wood, so made eye holes in the Corian larger, and beefed up the wood before putting it all back together.
Now the crack has reopened, and goes all the way to the top edge. Even the shampoo shelf is cracked.
Is this a common problem, meaning another repair or even a new slab would crack?
The main question, is how best to get this repaired. What are my options? I'd prefer to have it done locally in Southern California, but could take it to Nac much later this year.
Hmmmm. Something moving on chassis or body frame I suspect. Need to figure that out or crack will most likely re occur.
NAC would be my vote
Sounds like that panel fits to tight, coach flexing going down the road is loading the panel.
If you can get the trim off to look at the fit you may see where it needs to be relieved.
Same thing can break windshields.

I had my shower wall crack. it was from the shampoo shelf being in the corner. I redid the shower walls with new sheets and moved the shampoo holder over to be on a flat wall instead of in the corner and I have had no more cracks. It actually came cracked when I bought the coach with a huge dab of silicone in it.
If it was me I would take the shower apart and remove those coriam wall sections and tile it all with at least 8"x10" tiles (less grout the better) this would be a much cheaper fix than driving to Nac or ? and you would have a neat custom job, and even put a bit of color pieces in too.
I agree with John S that maybe if you have a corner holder and holes are drilled thru it there you stand a good chance of cracks. Showers are easy to take out and replace. Cheap fix as far as I am concerned.
