Bath repair, is it possible?

I've just broken part off my bath.
It's an acrylic bath and I have somehow managed to snap a piece off the rollover which is about 2" long by 0.5" wide.
It looks a complete mess, but it was only fitted 12 months ago and I don't really want to pull it out and start again.
Is there anything I can do. Does anyone know af anyone offering a service in the Manchester area who can repair this.
Many thanks in advance.

Not much hope really. However if you can get some fairly strong acetone it is possible to rejoin acrylic by painting acetone along the broken edges and pressing them together. I've never tried this on anything where the finish was important. Perhaps practice using scrap perspex first. Good luck!This is an open forum, anyone can post and I just did !0

I'm wondering if it would be possible to do some sort of fibre glass type repair underneath and use a bath repair enamel on the surface. I'm just thinking out loud here, I'd want some input from a fibre glass/acrylic knowledgable person.
Alternatively, superglue and bath repair enamel?A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

Ring a company called The Magic Man on 0845 4581010. They are based in the south but have guys all over the country. They specialise in repairing dents, marks,scratches etc in baths, laminate flooring, kitchen worktops, UPVC windows etc. They aren't the cheapest but I've seen the quality of the work and you will never see where you damaged it. Save the piece that you broke off though.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0

gartshore is right, but for probably around the same price as your excess yuo could get it fixed and a lot less hassle than having the bath ripped out and the associated grief.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0
