How to repair a steel enamel bath chip

Featured Replies

We have a 7 year old Kaldewei steel bath that has a small chip on it, probably from a shower falling on it.

 Are these things repairable?

If it is just a chip then I think there is bath repair paint.

I had such an issue recently and could only find white enamel gloss, self-priming/rust killing. It is slightly different shade of white (brighter) but will probably mellow. The main thing will be to stop rusting and it seems to be adhering fine.

I applied 3 coats with a tiny brush. First to minimum thickness, in stipple motion to ensure coverage, then 2 more within the chip. it needed this thickness anyway.

Cost was £2 for a small tin of paint which would have done the job 200 times, plus children's paintbrush.
