Bath and surface repairs in B34

Bath repair across B34: what to expect

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We are frequently asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and cracks in an acrylic bath, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
