Acrylic bathtub chip repair

$150

Kensington NSW, Australia

30th Apr 2026

Repair small chip in bathtub (rental property) Looking for an experienced bathtub repair specialist to fix a small chip in my bathroom tub. The chip is about the size of the tip of my pinky finger. This is a rental property, so I’m after a neat, professional repair that seals the surface properly and blends in visually. Located locally. Flexible with timing but hoping to get this sorted soon.

Great experience working with Hubert. They repaired a small chip in my white acrylic bathtub and clearly explained beforehand what the expected finish would look like with a patch repair, which I really appreciated. The repair was neat, smooth, and professionally done, and the area is now properly sealed and blends well with the surrounding surface. Communication was easy, they arrived on time, and the work was completed efficiently. The BEST!
