It happened quickly: a fallen hairbrush, a perfume bottle, a scissors.Scratches in the sink not only look unsightly.Dirt and mold can get stuck or the cracks are getting bigger - until it is too late for repair.But it doesn't have to come so far.
Scratches in the sink: polishing against metal scratches
The first step in a scratch is thorough cleaning.This eliminated dirt strips.
Metal scratches in the bathroom are often superficial metal tracks.In contrast, thorough polishing helps.Special polishes are available for this in the hardware store or specialty shop.Special eraser or even toothpaste can also achieve a good effect.
Lacquer pins for the smallest flaking
If polishing is not enough, a paint pen often helps.Before that, you should check the material the basin is made of.Repair lacquer pins are available for ceramics, enamel and acrylic in different colors.Carefully clean the pool, then shake the paint pen after instructions for use.Then apply a thin layer of paint, if necessary several times, and let the paint dry, this can take up to four days.
Repair sets with filler and sandpaper
Repair sets with a filler are suitable for larger flaking, which are also available in specialist shops and hardware store.These sets are also available for different materials and colors.They mostly contain a filler and harder as well as a spatula, plus sandpaper and paint.
After cleaning the basin, stir in the toughness according to instructions with the harder.Now it has to be quick - the mass begins to harden quickly.Fate the defective area with the mass, then you have to wait - the mass must dry.That takes around half an hour - here too you should stick to the instructions.
After drying you grind the mass with the sandpaper until there are no bumps anymore.The sink is not attacked by the sandpaper.(Note: If the set includes several grinding papers that choose the suitable one for the pool).Then remove the grinding dust with a dry microfiber cloth and spray the repaired area with the paint until the repair site is well covered.Now everything only has to dry, that usually takes four days.
Tips
The repaired areas in the bathroom are waterproof and can be cleaned with a mild cleaning agent.However, they must not be treated with abrasive, sharp cleaner or disinfectant.With deep or very long broken spots or cracks that are getting bigger on their own, a specialist should - mostly the whole pelvis must be replaced.
