Even if you glue it, the integrity of the chair is not good. Rather than taking a chance of someone falling through it, you should trash the chair and replace it.

I can be done, but only using a Methyl Methacrylate Adhesive. Do not allow fiberglass to be used for the repair, all plastic steps manufactured to date are made of ABS plastic regardless of the name (Rovel, Centrex, Weatherpro, Geloy,) all are ABS with the above names as the weather-able top coating.
Fiberglass emits gasses during the cure process that get trapped between the repair and the ABS that causes deterioration of the ABS and eventual failure of any repair made with fiberglass. Once the repair fails the gasses from the fiberglass usually renders the ABS too weak to accept any type of repair, then the step will need to be replaced.

∙ 14y agoIf the crack is small I would suggest buying a patch kit from a local pool store. The patch kits are easy to apply after the pool is drained. If the crack is large you'll need to hire a professional.
You can call someone and they will fix your fiberglass pool. You can also try to buy a repair kit depending on how big the crack is. If it is a big crack, your should let a professional do the job.

Is there anyway to temporarily repair cracks on fiberglass pool steps with water still in the pool?
If your crack is losing water, chewing gum works well (seriously), it will adhere under the water, and flexes with the crack when bathers put their weight on the step, then the chewing gum will reseal itself until you are able to repair the crack properly. Underwater epoxy can also be used, but gum is cheaper, and flexes whereby the underwater epoxy hardens and doesn't flex. Pool StepSpecialists.com has kits for fiberglass pool steps. Remember to chew the gum first, then push it into the crack(s)
How can you replace or repair plastic steps for an in-ground pool?
Do not allow fiberglass to be used as a repair for plastic steps, regardless of the type plastic (rovel, weatherpro, loran, centrex) all are ABS plastic and fiberglass cannot form a permanent bond with ABS. Only Methyl Methacrylate Adhesives will bond ABS properly.Yes. I take it this in a inground vinyl pool.. With the pool drained most anyone good with fiberglass repaires can refinish.. Order new steps from your local pool supplier or from the web.

Replacing vinyl liner pool steps is costly and unnecessary. These steps are fiberglass and can last 60 or more years, if cared for properly.

How do you repair a crack in the plastic through the wall skimmer of an above ground pool?
If this crack is not a gaping hole or an extremely large crack from bottom to top, the following repair should work well. Drain down the water to just below the crack by a couple of inches using a submersible pump. ( NOTE: Please turn off the pool pumps and ensure that it (or they) will not come back on until you have refilled the pool so that your pool pumps do not run dry or they may easily burn themselves up. ) Next, dry the area well and make sure the surface is clean. ( You may want to use sand paper) Using a two part epoxy that is rated for plastic ( I recommend TightBond(R) Marine(R) Epoxy with a 30 minute drying time. ) , mix it according to the instructions on the package. Keep stirring the epoxy until it is thick so that it does not run down the side of the skimmer( this may take 3 to 5 minutes or more depending on the product you are using.) Then, ensure that the surface you are repairing is completely dry, and start spreading a good layer of epoxy all along the crack. ( Popsicle sticks work well for this job.) Let it dry over night, and then, refill your pool. If this repair is done right it can last for years.
