Hansgrohe and Grohe Fitting Damage — Chrome and Finish Repair

Premium bathroom fittings — taps, showers and accessories from brands including Hansgrohe, Grohe, Vado and others — can sustain surface damage from impact, cleaning products or general use. Here is an honest guide to what can be repaired.

Chrome Fitting Repair

Chrome-plated fittings are challenging to repair invisibly because the chrome surface is a very thin electroplated layer. A chip in chrome exposes the base metal beneath. Chrome touch-up repair is possible using specialist chrome repair compounds, but results are not as invisible as chip repairs on stone or acrylic.

For cosmetic purposes, small chips on chrome fittings can be improved significantly. Contact us with photos for an honest assessment.

Matt Black and Coloured Fittings

Matt black, brushed gold and coloured PVD-coated fittings are increasingly common. PVD coating repair is specialist work. Results depend on the coating type and the extent of damage.

Ceramic Disc Cartridge and Handle Damage

Ceramic handles and lever components on premium taps can chip. These ceramic elements are repairable using standard ceramic repair techniques.

Our Recommendation

For chipped chrome or PVD fittings, send us photos for an honest assessment of what can be achieved before committing to a repair visit.
