We offer bath crack repairs at a fraction of the cost of replacing your entire bath! Finding a crack in your bath is a hassle, as it can lead to leaks and worsen over time, making your bath unusable. 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 Chelsea, we offer quick repairs for cracks in your bath, no replacement necessary. Call today for a free, no-obligation quote!

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 many instances, the crack is superficial and can be repaired seamlessly. Occasionally, the crack will be structural, affecting the bath’s integrity or due to poor installation, in which case we don’t recommend repairing it, as the crack may reappear. Our technicians are experts at assessing the damage to determine what type of crack your bath has. When repair is an option, our technicians use an expert procedure to achieve a smooth, high-quality repair that you won’t notice. 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 skill requires years of practice and experience, which our technicians have mastered.

Expert 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. 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.

Some DIY repair kits come with just one or two white shades, which won’t match the unique 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 ensure the repair blends seamlessly, our technician will create a custom enamel colour on the day of the repair. This precise colour matching process takes years of practice to perfect. We create the enamel colour on the day to guarantee it matches the exact shade of white of your bath or shower tray. With years of experience in colour matching, our technicians will ensure a perfect result.

To ensure a lasting repair, we use top-tier, professional-grade materials, such as our unique adhesive bonder that ensures a strong bond to your bath 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. The technician will handle all these steps before applying the colour-matched new enamel to ensure a perfect result. 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. The technician will evaluate the crack to determine whether it can be easily repaired or if it’s structural. If it's structural damage, we wouldn't recommend repairing it, so if you choose to go ahead with a repair we won't offer a warranty for this.

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. The technician will then apply our custom bonder to the repair to get it ready for the next 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. Make sure to leave your bath for 24 hours before using it so the repair has time to cure and set.

7. Use your bath as you normally would and relax, without the hassle of replacement!

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

Expert bathtub crack sealing service Chelsea

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!

We strive for the best quality repairs and exceptional customer service, making sure you are fully satisfied. Most repairs will blend seamlessly with regular use of your bath.

At Surface Doctor, we use only the highest quality materials, available exclusively on a commercial level, ensuring no corners are cut during your repair. Our technicians will perform a bath crack repair, colour matched to your bath by eye, guaranteeing the best possible result. Once the repair is complete, you’ll be amazed at the flawless finish.

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 problem with the DIY repair kits is the quality of the materials they provide are totally substandard to the professional grade materials we use, and they 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. If DIY repair kits were truly effective, we wouldn’t have stayed in business as long as we have!

How long does 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.
