Bathtub Chip Repair

Even those bathtubs that are very carefully used and looked after, are not immune from the appearance of chips. Let’s say the shower head brakes or a heavy bottle falls on the surface, these can easily cause a fragment of the coating to break off from the surface.

A chip can be almost invisible or quite large – it does not depend only on the force of impact, but also on the general condition of the bathtub. If a cast-iron enameled tub is installed in the bathroom, which has already served for an impressive number of years, then its coating is very susceptible to chipping due to fragility.

Are you seeing chips on the surface of the enamel, but are in no hurry to fix them? That will surely come back to bite, because even thought at first glance it might look a trifle, it can still have very unpleasant consequences. First, the damaged coating will surely continue to break down. A chip is a cavity in which moisture will always accumulate. Such an environment will be very favorable for the development of microorganisms that are completely unnecessary in the bathroom.

Enamel detachments are not only a generally expected continuation of chips, but also quite dangerous. Sharp edges of the detachments can cause injury. This is worth paying attention to, especially if children use the bathroom.

However, chips are not a death sentence at all and not a signal to shopping for a new bathtub. They are quite easily eliminated with the help of professional materials. Is it possible to act locally on damages to the surface of the bath? Yes, it is possible, but specialists do not advise doing this for several reasons.

• For high-quality repairs, complex preparation of the entire surface is necessary, and it is impossible to do this on small areas of the surface with pin point accuracy.

• The material used to cover the chip will match neither the shade nor the texture of the bathtub. This will be conspicuous and look completely unaesthetic.

• Old fragile enamel is very easily chipped and if one defect is repaired, it does not guarantee that a second one will not appear next to it.

• Full repair and restoration of a bathtub enamel is not so expensive.

Chips on the surface of an enameled tub are best repaired with liquid acrylic. It will not only eliminate existing damage, but also prevent their occurrence in the future. This restorative material is highly durable and withstands most of the impacts that occur in domestic use.

ADVANTAGES OF FINISH YOUR BATHTUB

How to Fix Chips with Liquid Acrylic?

We recommend refinishing the entire surface of the bathtub, completely replacing the enamel coating with acrylic.

With the emergence of liquid acrylic, repairpersons need not worry that the material could leave streaks, sags or bald spots. Its unique texture is able to give the surface an impeccable smoothness with glossy glare.

This technique of pouring allows you to cope with small cracks, detachments and chips. If the bathtub had very deep chips, they are pre-filled with a quick-dry paste, and after that are covered with acrylic.

Refinishing of tubs using the pouring method allows you to cope with even the most serious damage to the surface of the bathtub. Thanks to this, you can extend the life of almost any type of tub.

The service life of acrylic coating lasts for 7-15 years and all through these years keeps its pleasant tactile smoothness, attractive gloss and white color. Experts recommend not waiting for deep chips to appear, but to cover the bathtub with acrylic as soon as possible, preventing their occurrence.

My tub was peeling and had unsightly rubber flowers on it meant to prevent slippage. New York Tubs fixed it for me, at what I thought was a fair price, and now you’d never know how bad it looked. All good!

Artem did a phenomenal job on my tub! My tub was probably one of the worst he’s ever seen and had about 60 years of damage and terrible repairs. He went above and beyond with his work! We are renovating our terribly old bathroom and we came across some unrelated plumbing issues, and he generously offered to come back the next day to complete the job! I couldn’t recommend him enough, he was absolutely terrific!

I've had a few bathtubs refinished, this is by far the best. The technician was a gentleman who arrived on time and worked in a professional manner. I would  recommend this company to my friends and would obviously hire them again.

Artem was on time, courteous, and very clean. What impressed me most was his attention detail as far as craft and that the product did not smell of terrible chemicals.  The bathtub looks so good that I’m going to call him again for another tub in my building. A very trustworthy company.
