Bath repair

[marsaday]

I have dropped a hammar in a bath and it has left a dent, crack and it is leaking.

I understand you can repair this with a kit. has anyone done this before ?

Do they work. i will try post a photo if i can of the crack

The bath is in a rental so not bothered about looks. To remove the bath will be a big pain, plus it needs to be 1650mm in size so it will cost a fair bit i reckon.

I once dropped a pipe through a bath, perfect 22mm hole! Used a marine fibreglass repair kit! That was some years ago now mind you but you must still be able to get this sort of thing I'd imagine marsaday

If its cost effective there are people who specialise in repairs like this, a tiler I worked with dropped a tile once and mullered a steel bath, once the repair guy was finished it was hard to tell it was ever damaged at all.

Re: ~~ ~~ ~~

Even though it's a "pain" pal, do yourself a favour and do it right. Rip it out and replace it. Repairs of any kind are seldom permanent. Would you like someone in your house to slap some goo over a hole in your bath to cover up their mistake?

We are plumbers, the industry is getting a bad name left, right and centre from tv shows like Cowboy Builders, Rogue Traders etc, please don't add to it.
