Instead of replacing your bath, we can repair cracks at a much lower cost! Finding a crack in your bath is a hassle, as it can lead to leaks and worsen over time, making your bath unusable. The cost of ripping out and replacing your bath, along with the repairs to surrounding tiles and walls, is usually a significant, unplanned expense. Instead of replacing your whole bath, Surface Doctor Blackburn can repair the crack quickly and efficiently. Contact us now for a free, no-obligation quote!
With years of experience, our technicians are skilled in determining whether a cracked bath can be repaired or needs to be replaced. Most cracks are merely superficial and can be repaired to look like new. Sometimes the crack will be structural - meaning it is actually affecting the structure of the bath or it was improperly installed in the first place which will have caused it to crack - in these cases we don't recommend having it repaired as the crack may come back. 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. 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 is a very precise skill and takes many years of practice and experience to perfect - which luckily all our technicians have!
1. The crack will be inspected by our technician to assess whether it is easily repairable or 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 crack will be filled in and smoothed out so that it’s no longer noticeable. 4. Our technician will apply a specialised bonder to the repair in preparation for the following step. 5. A new enamel paint will be colour matched to the exact shade of white of your bath to make sure that it blends in seamlessly. This will be sprayed on to the repair using a fine spray gun. 6. Leave your bath for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully cure and set. 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!
At Surface Doctor, we aim for top-quality repairs and excellent service, ensuring you're happy with your repair. The majority of our repairs won’t be visible during normal use of your bath.
Using only the best commercial-grade materials, we ensure your repair is of the highest quality. Our technicians colour match your bath crack repair by eye, guaranteeing a perfect result. When you see your finished repair, you'll be impressed by how well it blends in. Some of our customers have asked why should they choose us over using a cheap DIY repair kit themselves, and we always say they're welcome to give it a go, but give us a call when it doesn't work out. The materials in DIY repair kits are of lower quality than the professional materials we use, meaning the repairs won’t last as long. A true colour match is difficult to achieve with DIY kits, as they only provide one or two shades of white for your repair. If DIY repair kits worked as well as claimed, we wouldn’t still be in 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.
