Fixing a damaged bath

[tafkap68]

Had a bit of an accident today. Bathboard slipped off bath sending a tile crashing down. It's a white plastic which now has a chip/dint in it. New suite so understandably the customer wants it repairing.

I know there are repair kits for this but was wondering if anyone here knows the best product for the job, cost and where to get it from. Thanks!

One tip I use this stuff in restoration work if a customer has changed toilet roll holders etc and drill holes in different place I use this to match in with the tile fill hole with grout and then use this to finish it blends in with the tile better than grout.

As it happens, i arrived at my job this morning for the plumber to tell me that last night while in a hurry he chipped the bath and he had a bath doctor coming out to repair the chip. It will cost £110 + vat.

There is a bloke that does the same thing up here in Scotland for about £90 + vat too.

It may sound expensive, but if it is an expensive bath then it could be money well spent.

I used to do work for a bathroom company, and this guy fixed a chip in a £700 bath an you would never know, even if you knew where it had been chipped.

If you are anywhere near Scotland, I'll get his number for you tomorrow.

Most big plumbers merchants stock bath repair kits mate.Depending on the size of chip,they usually leave a perfect job......
