DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Signs you need bath repair in Moss Side

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips under the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  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 following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
