Bath and surface repairs in LD7

Bath repair at your home in LD7

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
5. Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

• Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
• Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
• Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
• Store metal items away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
