Bath and surface repairs in SK16

Bath repair across SK16: what to expect

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and impact holes in acrylic.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

• Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
• Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
• Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
• A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
