From hammers dropping into tubs, to soap dishes and towel bars falling off
the wall, chips can happen in homes under construction, in homes just built,
and in homes lived in for years!
Just because a tub has chips, nicks, or scratches, it doesn't necessarily
mean it has to be completely refinished. If the damage is located above the
water line, it can be repaired.
If the damage is located below the water line, it can still be repaired,
but not guaranteed, because the water can eventually loosen the repair. In
cases like this, I recommend refinishing the tub, so it can be guaranteed.
Here is a porcelain bathroom sink with rust around the drain,
overflow, and fixtures. Notice the chips in the upper right hand corner and
down by the drain.
