We are Jim and Debbie Sharp, the husband-and-wife team of Bathtub Chip Repair. Our small, family owned-and-operated bathtub chip repair company offices out of Colleyville, Texas and has been serving the bathtub chip repair needs of the DFW metroplex since 1980.
Why Choose Us?
One of the things that makes us different from other bathtub chip repair companies is that we are not a franchise. We have a vested interest in our business because we put our name on the line every day. Jim is the owner of Bathtub Chip Repair, and has been repairing chips in bathtubs for over 45 years. He is the ONLY one who actually does the work! I am Debbie, Jim's wife and the office manager, the one you will speak to when you call 817.305.0300, the one who will respond to emails you send to Debbie@BathtubChipRepair.com, and the one who will respond to your chats.
From hammers dropping into tubs, to soap dishes and towel bars falling off the wall, chips in bathtubs can happen in homes under construction, in homes just built, and in homes lived in for years! We've been repairing bathtubs for home builders and home owners across DFW for many years. As our website name suggests, bathtub chip repair is our specialty!
We've Seen It All!
Being in the chip repair business since 1980 means we've just about seen and done it all when it comes to repairing bathtubs. We also know all too well that there are good and bad workers in any industry, and unfortunately, the chip repair business is no different. That's why it's important to make sure the company YOU choose has lots of experience - and an abundance of good ratings online.
To that end, please search online for our reviews. You'll find nothing but hundreds of 5-star ratings across all social platforms like Google, Yelp, Nextdoor, and Angi.
Location, Location, Location. It matters in chip repair. If a porcelain, fiberglass, or acrylic bathtub has chips, nicks, or scratches that are located above the water line, they can be repaired and expected to last (unless damaged again in the same area).
However, if the damage is located below the water line, a repair may not last for long. That's because repairs have exposed edges all the way around them, which makes them susceptible to lifting when under water, meaning that repairs located below the water line may eventually loosen and just float away.
Because of that, it would be a complete waste of money to have damage located near the drain repaired, because the repair will not last due to the amount and pressure of the water coming hard out of the spout above it. The workaround is to repair the damage and then refinish the tub to seal the repair and guarantee the work.
In most cases, professional tub chip repair means you won't be able to see the damage after the repair, and it takes years of experience to consistently achieve that kind of end result. Only a seasoned professional has the tools and skill to prepare and repair a damaged surface - and that's just the beginning of the process.
Color-matching is a big deal. In addition to preparing and repairing the damaged area, precision chip repair also requires expert color matching, because there are many 'shades' of white. Jim has decades of experience in color-matching, and truly has a great eye for color. It allows him to start out with a pure white color, then tint it on-site to match the color of the tub he is repairing.
After matching the color, the last step in chip repair requires an airbrush application carefully executed with a light and steady hand, feathering in the color to blend with the surrounding surface. Yes, there are a lot of steps to professional chip repair. If you want the best result possible, call Debbie at 817.305.0300 to schedule Jim for your bathtub chip repair!
