Locate the leak first. After inflating or filling the bathtub with water, observe or touch the surface with your hands to see if there are air bubbles, water stains or obvious breaks. Or mix detergent and water and apply it to the suspected air/water leaks (especially seams, valves, and bottoms), and the location of the bubbling is the leakage point.
For small holes or cracks, clean and dry the leaks, cut a piece of waterproof tape (e.g. bicycle inner tube patch, waterproof tape) twice the size of the hole and press it tightly to eliminate air bubbles, or you can use a wide piece of tape to cover it temporarily, but you need to replace it with a stronger material as soon as possible. Clean around the leak with sandpaper or alcohol, and apply PVC glue, AB glue or tyre repair glue (choose according to the tub material). Cut a piece of PVC plastic (can be cut from old bathtubs or mackintoshes) to cover the leak and press it firmly with a heavy object for 24 hours to cure. If the joints of the portable bathtub are open, clean up the dirt at the joints, apply epoxy resin adhesive or special plastic welding adhesive**, fix the joints with clips, and leave it for more than 24 hours. If the damage is more than 5cm, use waterproof canvas + strong adhesive inside and outside the double layer reinforcement, the edge of the edge reserved 3cm to fit.

Dry thoroughly before long-term storage to prevent mould corrosion of the joints.
