WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS

Is bathtub repair worthwhile? Honest answers

“Can scratches and chips really be repaired invisibly?”

Yes. With specially developed materials, we match the colour, texture and gloss exactly to the existing surface. Whether enamel or acrylic – when carried out professionally, the repaired area is barely noticeable.

“Is the repair permanent – or will it just peel off again?”

Our bathtub repairs are permanent under normal use. We do not use DIY store fillers, but our own materials, which we have been optimising for 40 years. In addition, there is an 8-year guarantee against peeling and yellowing.

“Is it worth it, or should I just buy a new tub?”

Replacing a bathtub quickly costs €2,000–€4,000 and leaves you with a construction site. Bathtub repair starts from €450, is completed within a few hours, and involves no mess. For localised damage, it is almost always the smarter choice.

“Can’t you just repair a bathtub yourself?”

DIY repairs with kits from the DIY store are almost always visible: colour differences, unevenness, poor adhesion. Professional materials and 40 years of experience make the difference between "patched up" and "like new".

GOOD TO KNOW

Which types of tubs can be repaired?

Short answer: almost all. Whether enamel, acrylic or mineral cast – our repair works on all common surfaces.

Enamelled bathtub

Identifying feature: Bright, metallic sound when tapped. A magnet sticks to the surface.

✓ Repair possible

✓ Repair possible

✓ Repair possible

Not sure which type of bathtub you have? No problem – we will clarify this during the free inspection.

ALSO FOR SHOWERS

Repairing shower trays and shower bases

A chip caused by a dropped shower head, a crack in the acrylic, or a dull, stained surface: We also repair shower trays and shower bases on site, without removing them.

  • Chips and impact damageThe area is filled, sanded, and sealed in the colour of the shower tray. This applies to enamel, acrylic, and mineral cast surfaces.
  • Cracks and holesFor acrylic and plastic, we reinforce the area before sealing it. It is important to ensure that no water can get under the shower tray.
  • Dull, rough, or discolouredIf the entire surface is affected, the shower tray receives a new coating, optionally with an anti-slip finish.

You should not continue using a cracked shower tray for long: If water penetrates the substructure, a minor repair can turn into moisture damage. More about the new surface can be found on the page Coating bathtubs and shower trays, more about safe footing at Anti-slip finish.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions about bathtub repair

How much does a bathtub repair cost?

Repairing a bathtub or shower tray usually costs between €450 and €800. The exact price depends on the type, size, and number of damages as well as the material (enamel or acrylic). After a free inspection, you will receive a binding fixed price – no hidden costs.

You can find more figures, examples by bathroom size, and our price calculator in the guide Bathroom renovation costs.

Most repairs are completed within a few hours. The bathtub is ready for use again after a short drying time – often on the same day.

Yes. We repair scratches, cracks, chips and even holes in acrylic bathtubs directly at your home, with the tub remaining installed. We reinforce cracks and holes before sealing and visually blending them. We also repair enamel and mineral cast bathtubs.

Yes. We fill, sand, and seal chips, scratches, and cracks in enamelled bathtubs in the colour of your bath, directly at your location and without removal. You can recognise enamel by its bright, metallic sound when tapped, and a magnet will also stick to it.

If it is not the enamel that has come off, but rather a self-applied paint, a repair is not possible: in this case, the paint must be completely removed and the bath will need to be recoated. You can find more information in the guide Bathtub paint.

When carried out professionally, the repaired area is barely noticeable. We match the colour, texture and gloss to your existing bathtub surface, whether enamel or acrylic. If you want the entire tub in a new colour, recoating is the right solution.

Individual, localised damage such as scratches, cracks or chips → repair. Extensive wear, heavy yellowing or a desire for a colour change → recoating. Unsure? We will give you honest advice on which method is best for your specific case.

In most cases, a bathtub can be repaired, even with larger holes in acrylic or plastic: we reinforce the area and blend it visually. In some cases, however, the tub may need to be completely recoated afterwards. Recoating is also the better option if the damage is extensive or you want a new colour. We will clarify what is best for your bathtub during the free inspection.

Yes. You receive an 8-year guarantee against peeling and yellowing. With normal use, the repair is long-lasting because we use our own specially developed materials, not standard filler from the hardware store.

DIY repair kits from hardware stores (Obi, Hornbach, Bauhaus) rarely deliver professional results. Common problems: colour differences, unevenness, poor adhesion and short durability. Our specialists use specially developed materials and 40 years of experience. The repaired area is barely noticeable afterwards.
