We offer bath crack repairs at a fraction of the cost of replacing your entire bath! A crack in your bath can prevent you from using it due to leaks or the risk of the crack spreading.

Our technicians have extensive experience repairing cracked baths, and they can quickly assess whether the damage can be repaired or if the bath needs to be replaced. In most cases, the crack is superficial and can be repaired to a high standard. When the crack is structural, affecting the bath's integrity or caused by poor installation, it’s best not to repair it as the crack may reoccur. We specialize in assessing bath damage to determine whether the crack is repairable or structural. Our technicians use a specialized procedure to achieve a repair of the highest quality, making it undetectable. To ensure the repair looks flawless, our technicians will match the enamel paint to your bath’s exact colour on-site. Achieving such a perfect repair requires precision and years of practice, something our technicians have mastered.

Bath replacement is not only costly and time-consuming, but it also adds unnecessary waste to your local landfill. Repairing your bath with us means it will be ready to use again within 24 hours! Repairing your bath is both an environmentally conscious and cost-effective decision, cutting down on wastage.

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. We use specialized tinters to create a custom enamel paint that matches your bath’s exact shade of white for a flawless repair. The technician uses specialized tinters to create the exact shade of white needed for your bath.

Some DIY repair kits come with just one or two white shades, which won’t match the unique white of your bath. Your bath’s white shade may vary due to age and usage, and there are many shades of white for baths, sinks, and tiles.

Our technician customizes the enamel colour on-site to ensure the repair matches your bath perfectly. This is a precise skill which takes years of practice to get right. We create the enamel colour on the day to guarantee it matches 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.

Our materials are of the highest professional grade, including an exclusive adhesive bonder that guarantees the repair stays firmly in place. 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. So our technician will do all of these steps before spraying on the colour-matched new enamel to your bath. 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 assess the crack to determine if it’s easily 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. After cleaning the area, the technician will reinforce the crack from underneath the bath to guarantee it's watertight.

3. The next step is to fill in the crack and smooth it out so you can't feel it anymore.

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. For the repair to fully cure and set, leave your bath unused for 24 hours.

7. Enjoy your bath as usual, knowing you won’t have to replace it!

How long does a bath crack repair take?

Epoxy bath crack repair service in Brightlingsea

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.

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.

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 challenging with DIY kits, as they provide just one or two shades of white, which won’t match your bath's exact shade. Simply put - if the DIY repair kits worked so well, we would no longer be in business!

What is the lifespan of a bath crack repair?

Typically, our repairs last for the entire lifespan of your bath. However, with severe cracks or structural damage, we can’t guarantee the repair as it’s hard to predict the bath’s longevity.

“I had a major crack in my bath and didn’t want to deal with replacing it. A friend recommended Surface Doctor London, and I’m so happy they did! The technician did a great job repairing it, and we were able to use the bath again the very next day. I’m so relieved we didn’t have to replace the entire bath. Very grateful for the speedy repair!”
