How to Repair a Chipped Acrylic Tub
- Cut out the damaged area of the tub in a V-shape with the utility knife.
- Prepare the bathtub repair kit's filler paste per the directions included with the kit.
- Put the filling paste on the chip and rub it in with your finger.
Keeping this in view, how do you repair a chipped porcelain?
Clean your porcelain sink with mild soapy water or a non-abrasive cleaner and dry it with a clean cloth. Wipe the chipped area with rubbing alcohol and allow it to dry completely. Using 400-grit wet and dry sandpaper, sand the inside of the chip to remove any small pieces and allow the filler to adhere properly.
Bathtub leaks from the actual tub body are not very common. If the enamel is cracked you will begin to see rust form along the crack. Fixing a leak from the overflow pipe and replacing this washer should usually be done by a plumber.
