Sounds like it may be minor. If so, after removing the tap set, I would drill a small hole-maybe one eighth inch-at the end of the crack so that it won't run anymore; "vee" out along the crack with a Dremel or v-file; fill the crack with epoxy; sand smooth with 220 grit or finer after epoxy sets. Replacing the shower surround could be a big job involving more than just the surround.......damage to walls, new taps, modify water lines, etc. In my mind, and without seeing it, I would go with the repair unless you have the aptitude/ability to replace it yourself. Good side is that it won't leak, bad side might be that the colours may not match.........

I filled the crack/ drilled holes as best I could with flexible caulk and applied an appropriate size piece of trimmed- to- fit EternaBond over it.

In my experience NOTHING sticks to acrylic. Had a cracked shower pan in my TC. Tried epoxy, no dice. Fiberglass and resin, fuggeddaboutit. No amount of roughing and cleaning would make it stick. Like eggs off a teflon pan. If fiberglass, you've got it made. Putting 10-ply tires on half ton trucks since aught-four.
