Small damages, big impact – without a full replacement
Who hasn’t experienced it: a careless moment, a dropped object – and just like that, it’s happened. A visible damage to the enamel of the bathtub or a crack in the sink.
In the past, a complete replacement was often the only solution in such cases. Today, at SMARTRESQ, we show that there is another way: sustainable, efficient, and with impressive results.
Repair Instead of Replace: Our Smart Approach
In numerous projects, we have demonstrated how enamel damage in showers or bathtubs can be professionally repaired. Even in cases of porcelain cracks in sinks or toilet bowls, repair is often possible without replacing the entire fixture. Of course, we also carry out repairs on acrylic tubs.
Our work begins with a detailed analysis of the damage.
As a long-standing expert in surface technology and a member of the management board at SMARTRESQ, I have thoroughly explored how damages can be sustainably and permanently repaired – both in theory and in practice. Through numerous feasibility studies, training sessions, and close collaboration with specialized craft partners, I have built in-depth know-how that now forms the foundation of our repair solutions. Additionally, we maintain constant exchange with other specialists both domestically and internationally, including the renowned Polygon Group, to continuously develop our methods and benefit from international best practices.
Before-After: The Difference Is Visible
We document many of our projects with before-and-after photos. Not only to show our customers what is possible, but also to continuously remind ourselves of what can be achieved with expertise, the right materials, and great care.
Customer Experiences That Inspire
What pleases me most is the feedback from our customers. Many share how positively surprised they are – not only by the results but also by how straightforward and clean the renovation process was. No construction chaos, no days-long bathroom downtime.
Sustainability That Pays Off
At a time when resource conservation and climate protection are more important than ever, we make a statement with every renovation. By preserving existing sanitary fixtures, we avoid unnecessary waste and the energy-intensive process of new production.
Our approach saves not only CO2 but also money. In many cases, a repair is significantly more cost-effective than a replacement.
Conclusion: Small Interventions, Big Impact
Whether it’s enamel damage in the shower, a crack in the sink, or a chipped spot on the toilet bowl, we at SMARTRESQ demonstrate that professional restoration is a real alternative to replacement — sustainable, clean, and cost-effective.
