Should I try spraying foam under my cracked shower base for added support, or should I redo it entirely? What can I do in the meantime to prevent further damage?

Hey there, I could use some advice. So about a year back, I put in a neo angle shower down in the basement. Lately, I’ve noticed some tiny cracks in the acrylic base where you stand in the shower, thankfully no leaking. Even though I used mortar under the subfloor, I’m guessing I didn’t spread it out enough.
I’ve heard some folks have had success spraying spray foam under the base for extra support – should I give that a shot, or is it better to just rip it out and start fresh at some point? And do you think I should cover up the cracks for the time being?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks a bunch!
Hey, I don’t have much advice other than this – is the shower pan still covered by warranty? It might be worth looking into, as they could potentially replace it. It doesn’t hurt to inquire. As for repairs, I’m not familiar enough with the product to offer sound advice. Best of luck!
Absolutely. Can you access either side of the corner walls? If so, that would be the best way to go.
I’d suggest swapping out the pan and ensuring it’s properly supported, it’s better to be proactive than risk more damage and stress.
