Bath and surface repairs in S8

Bath repair at your home in S8

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

• Give the bath a quick rinse after use
• Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
• Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
• Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

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.
