Bath Repair in Darlington

Bath repair across Darlington: what to expect

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the day after. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

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. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

• Have new chips seen to early
• Rinse it down after each bath
• Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
• Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
