Stone Resin Bath repairs
Steel Bath Tub Repairs
Steel baths are the best choice of material in terms of durability, recently replacing the enamel cast iron baths of yesterday, coated in enamel or manufactured from stainless steel giving a very modern, bright finish to the bathroom. Steel baths a relatively cheap and considered a bargain, in my opinion, it is not uncommon for steel baths to carry up to a 30-year warranty. Although Steel baths are very tough and durable, once damaged are usually irreparable or at least not worth repairing. Dents are near on impossible to pull out and filled. Tares or gouges out of the steel are best welded and resurfaced altogether optionally consider replacing the entire bath.
Chip repairs to enamel-coated baths are a frequent occurrence due to the nature of the enamel it is inflexible.
Cast Iron Bath Repair
Somewhat of a pricey material to buy today, they last the length of time, most likely the oldest bathroom items resurfaced and restored. Well known for the reliable survival that these baths can offer they have survived through the ages due to the thick construction of the structure. Common flaws cast iron baths have is that they are extremely heavy and awkward to negotiate without an army of hands to manoeuvre into place. The iron surface is maintained and protected from water and the atmosphere to make sure the iron does not corrode. Common repairs on cast iron baths include broken and cracked legs or feet, cast iron is brittle when struck by a dull blow, and make sure when handling or moving the item to take care of.
Stone Bath Repairs
Stone baths often appear large sometimes protruding from the floor, giving a seamlessly natural and smooth design, these are great for simply designed bathrooms and can make a grand centrepiece. Stone baths can become susceptible to staining and discolouring from cleaning products, they also chip relatively easily off sharp edges. we have witnessed older varieties of stone suffer from heat shock when cold and filled with boiling water, this results in the bath shattering or splitting in half making a bathtub repair impossible.
Copper
These can need a lot of maintenance to keep the beautiful golden-red colouring that copper is famously known for, they tarnish over time. Copper baths need protection to avoid tarnishing and make sure the colour remains vibrant. Polished copper baths are not ideal for repairing and only a minimal amount of work is done without the repair becoming noticeable
Can I repair a Bathtub Myself?
You can repair minor damage in a bathtub yourself with a bath repair kit, these can be found throughout the web on all the most popular cheap platforms. These kits typically include everything you need to repair chips, small none structural cracks, and other types of damage to your bathtub. They can be a convenient and cost-effective solution for those who are handy and have some experience with DIY projects.
Are Bath repair kits any good?
Bath repair kits can be useful as a short-term fix for minor bath damage if you aren’t worried about aesthetics. Before you get too excited and run out to buy a bath repair kit take a moment to think about the what-ifs. They may seem like a cheap quick, and easy solution, but they can also have some major drawbacks. One is that the repairs may not be as durable or long-lasting as those done by a professional. The kits cannot repair deep severe damage or large cracks that affect the stability of the bath. Also, bath repair kits will most likely not match the colour or sheen of your original tub.
Should I get a professional bath repair?
Another option to consider is a professional bath refinishing service. A professional bath refinishing company like ours can repair and restore your bathtub to its original condition using specialised techniques and materials. The process involves removing any old coatings, repairing any damage, and then applying a new finish to the tub. The result is a bathtub that looks like new and is more durable and long-lasting than a bathtub repaired with a kit.
Will a bath repair match the colour of the tub?
Professional bath refinishers have the added benefit of being able to customise the colour and finish of your tub to match your or resurfacing colour preferences. Technicians have a wide array of colours and are able to match colours on-site using our natural ability to see colours, testing as we go. You can choose from a variety of colours and finishes, including glossy, matte, and textured. This means you can have your tub looking like new and also have it match the colour you have in your bathroom.
Will a bath repair kit match the colour of my bath?
It’s highly unlikely that a bath repair kit would match the colour of your bath. Some manufacturers have 2 or 3 different types of white bath coating, which is simply not enough for the thousands of shades of white there are in reality.
Professional repair versus DIY bath repair
To sum it up, bath repair kits can be a convenient and cheap option for minor repairs, they will not be able to repair large cracks, you will have a repair that has a poor finish and it won’t last that long. A professional bath repairer can match both the sheen and the colour of your bath and the repair will last considerably longer provided the repair is carried out correctly. If you're looking for a repair with a great finish that will last for years, call in a professional that knows what they are doing and can guarantee their repairs, no bath repair kit offers any such guarantees and if the repair kit fails it’s your problem.
Is it cheaper to repair or resurface a bath than replace it?
In almost all cases it is cheaper to have your bath repaired or resurfaced than it is to have a replacement. The greatest advantage of a professional bath repair is that in the majority of cases, it is a cheaper option than a replacement. Not only is it cheaper but there is also much more time efficient to have a repair than a replacement bath.
Before you go ahead and replace your bath you should consider a few things that may alter the final price of a replacement:
Is the bath tiled in? If so include possible tile replacements.
Does the replacement bath need new pipework?
How Much time do you have spare?
