DIY vs. professional bath crack repair in Caterham Acrylic bathtub crack fixed in Caterham

We can fix cracks in your bath without the high cost of a full replacement! Finding a crack in your bath is a hassle, as it can lead to leaks and worsen over time, making your bath unusable. Removing and replacing your entire bath, including fixing the damage to tiles and walls, can quickly turn into a costly, unexpected bill. Instead of replacing your whole bath, Surface Doctor Caterham can repair the crack quickly and efficiently. Get in touch with us now for a free quote, with no obligation!

Our technicians have years of expertise in cracked bath repairs, knowing when damage can be repaired or when replacement is the better option. 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. Our technicians have perfected this precise skill after years of experience and practice.

Repairing your bath is both an environmentally conscious and cost-effective decision, cutting down on wastage.

Bath Crack Repair with Perfect Colour Matching

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. Our technician custom creates the enamel paint on-site to match your bath’s exact shade of white, ensuring a perfect colour match. They do this using specialised tinters.

Some DIY repair kits will only provide one or two shades of white paint to use on your bath, but it simply won't match the white of your bath. Baths, sinks, shower trays, and white tiles all come in various shades of white, with the original shade being affected by the age and wear of the bath.

On the day of the repair, our technician will match a new enamel colour to your bath to ensure the repair blends perfectly. Matching the enamel colour perfectly requires a high level of skill and years of experience. This is why we have to create your new enamel colour on the day - to make sure the colour matches the shade of white of your bath or shower tray exactly. With many years of experience in colour matching, our technicians ensure your bath is in expert hands.

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. Most cracks will need to be supported from beneath, filled, and sealed to make the bath watertight before the new enamel is applied. All these steps will be completed by our technician before the final layer of colour-matched enamel is sprayed onto your bath. He won't skimp on any of these steps, so you can rest assured the repair will last as long as the rest of your bath.

Complete Procedure, Step by Step:

1. The technician will evaluate the crack to determine whether it can be easily repaired or if it’s structural. For structural damage, we advise against repairing it, and if you proceed with a repair, we cannot provide a warranty.

2. The technician will clean the damaged area and reinforce the crack from below the bath to make it watertight.

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

4. Then the technician will apply our specialised bonder to the repair in preparation for the next step.

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!

How long will it take to repair a crack in my bath?

DIY vs. professional bath crack repair in Caterham

The repair process usually takes between 1-2 hours to half a day, depending on whether the crack is structural. It’s a much quicker option than removing and replacing your bath!

Our focus is on delivering the highest standard of repairs and providing excellent customer service, so you’re fully satisfied. Most of our repairs will be unnoticeable during regular 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.

We’ve been asked why customers should choose us over using a DIY repair kit, and we always say try it yourself, 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. The problem with DIY repair kits is that they only give one or two shades of white, making it nearly impossible to achieve a true colour match. If DIY repair kits were as effective as advertised, we wouldn’t be here offering professional repairs!

What’s the expected duration of a bath crack repair?

Most repairs will last for the duration of your bath. But sometimes with an extensive crack or structural damage we won't be able to put a guarantee on your repair as it will be hard to judge how long the bath will last.

Here are a few examples of what our customers say about us

“I had a huge crack in my bath and was stressing about finding someone to replace it. A friend recommended Surface Doctor London for repairs instead, and I’m so glad they did. The technician did an incredible job and we were able to use the bath again the very next day. I’m so relieved we didn’t have to replace the whole bath. Thanks for the fast service and amazing repair!”
TH - Caterham,Surrey
"I found a crack in the bath at one of my BTL properties after the tenants moved out, and it had caused some leaking and water damage to the floor underneath the bathroom. Surface Doctor were able to repair the crack and seal it so it’s now watertight and there are no more leaks! It saved a lot of agro over having to re-do the whole bathroom. I’ll always use Surface Doctor when I need to get a repair done now."
BH - Caterham, Surrey
“I wasn’t sure my bath was repairable because the crack was pretty severe, but after sending in pictures, I received a reasonable quote and decided to go ahead. The technician was professional and explained everything clearly. My bath is still going strong! Really happy we chose you to repair it.”
GD - Caterham,Surrey
“We’re so thankful for the crack repair in our bath! It used to be an eyesore and would always annoy me when I walked into the bathroom. After your repair, it looks like there was never any damage, and it’s as good as new!”
