Bath repair in County Durham

How bath repair works in County Durham

You can usually use the bath the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.

Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
