Bathrooms contain more surfaces per square metre than almost any other room in the house — and they all take a beating. Wet environments, steam, cleaning chemicals, heavy objects being dropped, and intensive daily use mean that bathroom surfaces chip, crack and deteriorate over time. This guide covers every surface in your bathroom and what repair options are available.
Bath Chip Repair
The bath is usually the most prominently damaged item. Chips occur from taps and showerheads being dropped, objects falling in from shelves, and general impact. Acrylic baths chip with a white or cream material loss; enamel baths chip to expose grey or black cast iron or steel beneath. Both are repairable with colour-matched resins, typically in 1–2 hours.
Shower Tray Chip and Crack Repair
Shower trays — acrylic, stone resin or ceramic — crack and chip from heavy items falling and from thermal fatigue over time. A cracked shower tray is a waterproofing concern as well as a cosmetic one. Professional repair addresses both, sealing the crack and restoring the surface.
Tile Chip Repair
Wall and floor tile chips are extremely common. Corner chips on floor tiles at doorways, edge chips on wall tiles behind taps and shower fittings, and chips on splashback tiles from everyday bathroom use. Individual tile chip repair avoids the upheaval of regrout and retile — particularly important for discontinued tile ranges.
Bathroom Basin and Sink Repair
Ceramic bathroom basins — pedestal, semi-recessed and wall-hung — chip from heavy objects being dropped into them. The rim edge is particularly vulnerable. Chips on ceramic basins are repaired with colour-matched resin and polished to the surrounding glaze.
Vanity Unit and Bathroom Furniture
Bathroom vanity units — whether painted wood, vinyl-wrapped or high gloss lacquered — can chip and scratch. We repair vanity unit damage using appropriate fillers and colour-matching techniques depending on the surface type.
UPVC and Chrome Fittings
Scratch repair on white UPVC bathroom trims, door frames and window sills is a quick fix we can combine with other bathroom repairs during a single visit.
