How to Repair a Rusted Bathtub

Bathtub rust repair is one of the most common repairs we do in DFW.

It may look like a tub like this is beyond saving, but it isn't. This kind of rust damage usually starts with an existing chip exposed to a dripping faucet. Less often, it's moisture coming from behind the tub because of a leaking pipe.

Once your appointment is confirmed, we start by removing all of the rusted-out areas. Starting a repair on rusted metal is like building on sand; it just wouldn't last.

With the rust gone, we rebuild the area with a 100% non-metallic, high-strength filler made specifically to keep water out. It's labor-intensive, but getting this step right is what makes the finished repair last.

If you're repairing bathtub rust yourself, the steps are: remove the rust, clean off the dust, rebuild with filler, sand and fill again, and coat to match.

We color match the final coat to the tub, so there's no need to refinish the whole bathtub. That saves you money and time, and the tub can be used after only 24 hours.
