Bath and surface repairs in TW3

About bath repair in TW3

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips caused by builders, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
4. We match both the colour and the shine.
5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Keeping it looking good

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

• Rinse it down after each bath
• Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
• Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
• Have new chips seen to early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
