Fast and efficient bath crack repair in Cheltenham Long bathtub crack repair service in Cheltenham

We can repair cracks in your bath at a fraction of the price of replacing your bath! A crack in your bath can prevent you from using it due to leaks or the risk of the crack spreading. 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 Cheltenham, we offer quick repairs for cracks in your bath, no replacement necessary. Contact us now for a free, no-obligation 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. 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. 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. This precise repair method takes years of practice to perfect, and our technicians are highly skilled in it.

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

Colour Matching for Bath Crack Repairs

One of the most essential steps in bath repairs is achieving a perfect colour match for the enamel paint. All baths vary in their shade of white, so pre-made paint won’t work. Our technician will create your very own enamel paint that matches the shade of white of your bath on the day to get a true 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. There are many different shades of white for baths, sinks, shower trays, and tiles, and the original white may change with age and use.

Our technician will create your own new enamel colour on the day, to ensure that the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible. Achieving the perfect colour match is a precise skill that takes years of practice. 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. 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. Most cracks will need to be supported from beneath, filled, and sealed to make the bath watertight before the new enamel is applied. Before spraying the colour-matched enamel, our technician will complete all the necessary steps for a flawless repair. No steps will be skipped, ensuring a long-lasting repair that’s as durable as the rest of your bath.

Our Full Step-by-Step Procedure:

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. 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. Our technician will apply a specialised bonder to the repair in preparation for the following step.

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

How much time does a bath crack repair take?

Before and after bath crack repair in Cheltenham

Depending on the size and type of crack, the repair will take 1-2 hours to half a day. This is far quicker than the hassle of removing and replacing your bath!

We always aim to achieve the highest quality repair possible, with excellent customer service, so you feel totally happy with your repair. The majority of our repairs will not be noticeable with normal usage 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.

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. A true colour match is difficult to achieve with DIY kits, as they only provide one or two shades of white for your repair. Simply put - if the DIY repair kits worked so well, we would no longer be in business!

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.

“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!”

I’ll definitely use Surface Doctor for repairs from now on.”
