I had a small cluster of hairline cracks and ended up using a piece of clear contact film/liner that was advertised for kitchen surfaces to put over it. Someday I'll replace the surround...but this has held up just fine since I put it on 4 months ago. Yes it's a rectangle patch that's obvious to the eye, but it's clean looking and not an eyesore imo, no air bubbles behind it. I can share more info and a pic if interested!
