Bath and surface repairs in TW16

Our bath repair service in TW16

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a hole punched through by something heavy.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

• Do not leave a fresh chip for long
• Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
• Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
• Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

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 without abrasive products.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
