Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Crateford
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
