Instead of replacing your bath, we can repair cracks at a much lower cost! When you find a crack in your bath, it is such a hassle as you now can't use your bath due to it leaking or the crack potentially getting worse. Replacing the entire bath, including repairing surrounding tiles and walls, can be a costly and unexpected expense. Instead of replacing your whole bath, Surface Doctor Andover can repair the crack quickly and efficiently. Call now for your free, no-obligation quote!
All of our technicians have many years of experience repairing cracked baths and they know how to spot when the damage is easily repairable, or if it does unfortunately need to be replaced. Most times the crack is just superficial and can be repaired to a high standard. In some cases, the crack is structural, meaning it impacts the bath’s strength or was caused by improper installation; in these cases, we advise against repairs as the crack may return. Our experts are trained to evaluate the type of crack and determine whether it can be effectively repaired. If the bath is repairable, our technicians follow a precise process to deliver a top-tier repair that seamlessly matches the rest of the bath. The repair process involves colour-matching the enamel paint to your bath’s exact shade, ensuring the repair is virtually undetectable. This is a very precise skill and takes many years of practice and experience to perfect - which luckily all our technicians have!
1. Our technician will inspect the crack to see if it is easily repairable, or if it is structural. If the damage is structural, we do not recommend proceeding with repairs, and in such cases, no warranty will be offered.
2. The technician will clean the surface and then strengthen the crack from the underside to ensure the bath remains watertight. 3. The next step is to fill in the crack and smooth it out so you can't feel it anymore. 4. Next, the technician will apply a specialised bonder to the repair, preparing it for the next stage. 5. A custom enamel paint will be colour matched to your bath’s exact white shade, ensuring the repair blends seamlessly. This will be applied using a fine spray gun. 6. Allow your bath to set for 24 hours before using it to ensure the repair fully cures. 7. Enjoy your bath as usual, knowing you won’t have to replace it!
The time it takes to repair a crack depends on the severity and whether it's structural, but typically takes between 1-2 hours to half a day. This is much quicker than replacing your entire bath!
Our goal is to provide the highest quality repair and outstanding customer service, ensuring you're completely satisfied with the result. Most of our repairs won’t be noticeable with everyday use of your bath.
We use the best quality materials that are only available on a commercial basis and will never ever cut corners by using cheaper materials whilst carrying out your repair. Our technicians will carry out a bath crack repair that is colour matched to your bath by eye ensuring you get the best repair possible. When you see your completed repair, you'll be amazed by how good it is. We’re often asked why to choose us over a DIY repair kit, and we always say try it, but reach out to us when it doesn’t work out. DIY kits use inferior materials compared to the professional-grade materials we provide, and they simply don’t last as long. It's also very hard to achieve a true colour match to the surface of your bath as the repair kit will only provide you with one or two shades of white to use on your repair. Simply put - if the DIY repair kits worked so well, we would no longer be in business!What’s the expected duration of a bath crack repair?
Most of our repairs are long-lasting, but with significant cracks or structural damage, we cannot provide a guarantee since it’s difficult to assess the bath’s durability.
