Epoxy bath crack repair service in Barnton On-site bathtub crack repair in Barnton

We offer bath crack repairs at a fraction of the cost of replacing your entire bath! When you notice a crack in your bath, it’s a big inconvenience, as it may leak or get worse over time. Quotes for ripping out and replacing the bath, plus fixing the surrounding tiles and walls, are typically a high, unplanned expense. Surface Doctor Barnton can fix the crack in your bath efficiently, saving you the hassle and cost of full replacement. 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. Often, the crack is cosmetic and can be fixed to an excellent standard. If the crack is structural, meaning it affects the bath's framework or is due to installation issues, we don't recommend repairs since the crack could come back. We specialize in assessing bath damage to determine whether the crack is repairable or structural. 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. 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. Achieving such a perfect repair requires precision and years of practice, something our technicians have mastered.

Colour Matching for Bath Crack Repairs

A key step in bath repairs is colour matching the enamel paint. Since baths come in different shades of white, pre-made paint will never match your bath's colour exactly. To guarantee a true colour match, our technician will prepare a custom enamel paint specifically for your bath's unique white tone. Using specialised tinters, we ensure the enamel paint perfectly matches your bath's original colour.

Many DIY repair kits offer only one or two shades of white paint, but they won't match your bath’s exact white shade. There are many different shades of white for baths, sinks, shower trays, and tiles, and the original white may change with age and use.

On the day of the repair, our technician will match a new enamel colour to your bath to ensure the repair blends perfectly. Creating a flawless colour match is a skill that requires years of experience. Creating the enamel colour on-site ensures a perfect match to the exact shade of white of your bath or shower tray. Thanks to years of expertise in colour matching, our technicians will make sure your bath is well taken care of.

We always use the highest quality professional grade materials available - such as our special adhesive bonder which makes your repair stick to the surface of your bath. The crack will most likely need to be supported from underneath and filled in and sealed to make sure the bath is watertight before the new enamel is sprayed on top. The technician will handle all these steps before applying the colour-matched new enamel to ensure a perfect result. Our technician follows every necessary step, ensuring the repair lasts for years, just like the rest of your bath.

Complete Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Our technician will examine the crack to identify whether it's repairable or if it’s a structural issue. 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 damaged area and reinforce the crack from below the bath to make it watertight.

3. Next, we’ll fill the crack and smooth it over to ensure it’s completely seamless.

4. To prepare for the next step, the technician will apply our specially formulated bonder to the repair.

5. The technician will colour match a new enamel paint to your bath’s exact shade of white, ensuring it blends perfectly. It will then be sprayed onto the repair using a fine spray gun.

6. Allow your bath to set for 24 hours before using it to ensure the repair fully cures.

7. Feel at ease using your bath again, with no need to rip it out and replace it!

How long does a bath crack repair take?

Long bathtub crack repair service in Barnton

Your bath crack repair will take between 1-2 hours and half a day, depending on the crack's extent and whether it’s structural. It's much faster than removing and replacing your 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 never cut corners when carrying out repairs, using only top-quality, commercial-grade materials. Our technicians will colour match your bath crack repair by eye, ensuring a seamless result. When you see the finished repair, you'll be blown away by the quality.

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 materials in DIY repair kits are of lower quality than the professional materials we use, meaning the repairs 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. Simply put, if DIY kits worked properly, we wouldn’t have a business.

How long will a bath crack repair last?

For most repairs, the results will last as long as your bath, but in cases of extensive cracks or structural damage, we cannot offer a guarantee due to the uncertainty of how long the bath will remain intact.

"I had an awful crack on my bath and was so worried trying to find a tradesman to replace it for me. My friend suggested Surface Doctor London to repair it instead and I'm so relieved your technician was able to do such a fantastic repair on my bath. We could use the bath again the next day and it has been such a relief to not have to get the whole bath replaced. Really grateful for your fast service and repairing my bath!"
AH - Barnton,City-of-Edinburgh
“When I discovered a crack in the bath at one of my BTL properties, it had already caused leaking and water damage. Surface Doctor repaired the crack, sealed it to make it watertight, and stopped the leaks! It was such a relief to avoid having to redo the entire bathroom. From now on, Surface Doctor is my go-to for repairs.”
CK - Barnton, City-of-Edinburgh
