How do you repair deep gouges in an acrylic bathtub?

UK solutions desired. Thanks!





We bought a new bathroom suite and it's gorgeous. But the shower knob was not put on tightly, and when we turned it on the first time it bounced into the bathtub below. It's a very heavy knob and when it fell it bounced twice - creating two massive cuts deep in the acrylic.





Does anyone know what might repair these?

A small amount of epoxy resin can be mixed up and colour matched to your tub. Mask around the damaged area and apply resin. Let it set hard. Sand back lightly with wet and dry paper (320 then 600 grit) then polish it with automotive cut and polish and finally a straight car polish. If you colour matched it perfectly, it will be an invisible repair.How do you repair deep gouges in an acrylic bathtub?
