We offer bath crack repairs at a fraction of the cost of replacing your entire bath! Cracks in your bath can cause leaks and worsen, leaving your bath unusable until it is fixed. Replacing the entire bath, including repairing surrounding tiles and walls, can be a costly and unexpected expense. At Surface Doctor Balerno, we can repair the crack in your bath quickly without needing to replace the whole bath. Call today for a 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. Often, the crack is cosmetic and can be fixed to an excellent standard. Occasionally, the crack will be structural, affecting the bath’s integrity or due to poor installation, in which case we don’t recommend repairing it, as the crack may reappear. We specialize in assessing bath damage to determine whether the crack is repairable or structural. When we are able to repair your bath, our technicians have a specialised procedure they use to achieve a top standard repair that you won't be able to notice! They will colour match a new enamel paint to your exact bath on the day to make sure the new repair blends into your bath seamlessly. This skill requires years of practice and experience, which our technicians have mastered.
1. The crack will be inspected by our technician to assess whether it is easily repairable or structural. In cases of structural damage, we’ll advise not repairing it, and a warranty won’t be offered if you choose to proceed.
2. Next, the technician will clean the area and reinforce the crack from underneath the bath to ensure it's watertight. 3. The next step involves filling in the crack and smoothing it out so it’s perfectly smooth to the touch. 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. Make sure to leave your bath for 24 hours before using it so the repair has time to cure and set. 7. Feel at ease using your bath again, with no need to rip it out and 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. Many customers ask why they should choose us instead of using a cheap DIY repair kit, and we tell them to give it a try but call us when it doesn’t work. The issue with DIY repair kits is that the materials are of much lower quality than the professional-grade materials we use, and they won’t last as long. Achieving a true colour match with a DIY repair kit is nearly impossible, as they only offer one or two shades of white for repairs. If DIY repair kits were as effective as advertised, we wouldn’t be here offering professional repairs!How long will a bath crack repair last?
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.
