You could but even a poorly done fibreglass roof should not leak. The devil is in the detailing and it is likely that the leaks are arising at joints or changes in pitch (flat to pitched roof etc). It may be more economical to get a good fibreglass roofer to have a look at it as you may be able to salvage it at a reasonable cost.... KR Drew @ Fibretechs

You can salvage the roof by redoing the worst areas again, a good grp installer would recommend this for you , however this shouldn't have happened at all , want a better roof try EPDM

Yes. As long as there’s no sharp fibres poking up. Bitumen prime the whole area. Torch on 2mm Torch on top layer. 👍🏻
