Have a Zanussi FJR which has had a medal in the wash. Am going to repair the tub with Quiksteel. Does the hole area have to be roughened first to get it to stick, and does it have to be inside and out. I am having this for myself.

Re: Zanussi with Holed tub- Quiksteel repair?
It’s great stuff quicksteel! :tup:
…unless the hole is too big! 🙁 It’s mainly for cracks.
I don’t rough up the area, but putting it on the inside of the tub too, would be a good idea if it’s possible

If it’s a hole, depending on the size I would fit some kind of plate and blather it in araldite. providing its not comprimising any electrical components………. 😉
Re: Zanussi with Holed tub- Quiksteel repair?
Tub front half is only £31 ssp, back half is £54 ssp, so you’ll pay less than that…… Quite sure this is the right way to go?
Anyway – Granvilles PetroPutty is the stuff to have for small holes. Brilliant stuff; rock hard in two hours. Roughen the surface first.
Cheers,

I repaired a plastic tub on an 8 month old Servis the other day. The guarantee hadn’t been honoured because caused by a 20p.
The engineer had told her it would be cheaper to get a new one. Presumably he was meaning compared to tub replacement. Then the lucky lady found my name. 😀
I cut a bit of plastic from a scrap hotpoint tub. Drilled two holes in it lined up with two in the tub at the sides of the hole. Put two 5mm brass(couldn’t find ss) bolts in with heads on inside of tub using fingers through hole. Fixed bolts with nuts. Widened holes in repair piece to go over nuts. Plastered with tub putty on inside of repair piece. Slip it over bolts and fix with washers and nuts.
Haven’t been called back as yet so I presume it worked OK.
