Repairs in your house are always likely going to cost quite a bit of money.There are many ways to cut down on these repair costs by doing some house repairs yourself.One repair which you should consider doing yourself is a bathtub repair. Fix it up a little and save yourself some money.
Bathtubs get a little discoloration here and there. There can be a few minor cracks. If the repair is minimal apply some of the DIY tips below. It is all about re-evaluating a little and choosing the cheaper option to save some money for a rainy day.
For the repair of impact damage and flaking on bathtubs with enamel, ceramic (porcelain) and acrylic surfaces.For this job you would need a repair paste suitable for porcelain, enamel and acrylic.a non yellowing repair spray(make sure about the non yellowing factor with the salesperson at your hardware store),some special sandpaper with minimal rub off on ceramic and enamelled surfaces and a wet/dry sandpaper for acrylic and fiberglass surfaces.
The area to be repaired must be clean, dry and free from oil or grease. Mix the filler and hardener well, then smooth the filler into the damaged area with a spatula. After 30 minutes, use the sandpaper to give an even smooth finish and wipe the area clean.
With minor defects use a touch up stick. Minor defects can be corrected quickly and economically. Make sure that the touch up stick is designed for ceramic, enamel, acrylic, powder coated and lacquered surfaces. A touch-up stick is a filling compound and final coat all in one. Therefore it is ideal for repairing impact damages, scratches and lacquer flaws on sanitary fixtures, tiles, fittings, heaters, kitchen sinks, ovens, washing machines, refrigerators and furniture.
Use a bath rubber to eliminate problems such as paint marks, adhesive residue, metal abrasions and tough stains on bathtub.This will enable you to thoroughly remove deposits without scratching enamel or ceramic surfaces.
Bear in mind that it is better to keep the repairs at a minimum so you can avoid paying for professional help and spending more money.This will buy you some time before you can make the final decision about whether you need to do a complete revamp of your bathroom by buying complete new hardware.
