Bath and surface repairs in PA6

How bath repair works in PA6

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
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, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

• Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
• A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
• Have new chips seen to early
• Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

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 early repair keeps the cost down.
