Repairing cracks in your bath is much more affordable than replacing the whole bath! When you find a crack in your bath, it is such a hassle as you now can't use your bath due to it leaking or the crack potentially getting worse. Quotes to rip out the whole bath and replace it, along with fixing the damage caused to the surrounding tiles and walls during this, will most likely be a costly and unplanned for expense. At Surface Doctor Cathcart, we can repair the crack in your bath quickly without needing to replace the whole bath. Call us now for a no-obligation free 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. Most times the crack is just 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. Our technicians are adept at identifying the type of crack and deciding the best course of action for your bath. Our technicians use a specialized procedure to achieve a repair of the highest quality, making it undetectable. On the day of the repair, they will colour match new enamel paint to your bath to ensure the repair blends perfectly with the original surface. This precise repair method takes years of practice to perfect, and our technicians are highly skilled in it.

Colour Matching for Bath Crack Repairs

Colour matching is critical in bath repairs, as no two baths are the same shade of white, and pre-made paints won’t provide the precise match needed. Our technician custom creates the enamel paint on-site to match your bath’s exact shade of white, ensuring a perfect colour match. Specialised tinters are used to create a custom colour match for your bath’s enamel paint.

DIY repair kits often provide limited white shades, but these won’t match the exact white of your bath. Baths, shower trays, sinks, and white tiles come in so many different shades of white, and the original shade of white could be affected by the age of your bath, and the usage it has had.

To achieve a seamless repair, our technician will mix a new enamel colour on the day of the repair. This precise colour matching process takes years of practice to perfect. This is why we create the enamel colour on the day, to ensure it perfectly matches the exact white shade of your bath or shower tray. Our technicians have extensive experience in colour matching, so your bath is in skilled hands.

At Surface Doctor, we only use the highest quality, professional-grade materials, including our special adhesive bonder that ensures the repair adheres perfectly to your bath's surface. 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. Before spraying the colour-matched enamel, our technician will complete all the necessary steps for a flawless repair. We don’t cut corners, so you can be confident that the repair will last as long as your bath’s original surface.

Complete Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Our technician will inspect the crack to see if it is easily repairable, or if it is structural. If it’s found to be structural damage, we won’t recommend repairing it and will not offer a warranty on any repair.

2. Next, the technician will clean the area and reinforce the crack from underneath the bath to ensure it's watertight.

3. We’ll fill the crack and smooth the surface so that it feels as if the crack never existed.

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

5. The technician will match a new enamel paint to your bath’s exact white shade for a seamless blend, and it will be sprayed onto 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. Relax and use your bath like normal, no need for costly replacement!

How much time does a bath crack repair take?

Bathroom renovation with crack repair in Cathcart

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. DIY repair kits use subpar materials compared to the professional-grade materials we use, and their results don’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. Simply put, if DIY kits worked properly, we wouldn’t have a business.

How long does a bath crack repair last?

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.

“I was really stressed about a crack in my bath, and my friend suggested Surface Doctor London. I’m so happy I listened! The technician did an outstanding job, and we were able to use the bath the very next day. It was such a relief not having to replace the whole bath. Thank you for your quick and efficient service!”
AH - Cathcart,Glasgow-City
"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."
