Repairing cracks in your bath is much more affordable than replacing the whole bath! When you notice a crack in your bath, it’s a big inconvenience, as it may leak or get worse over time. Removing and replacing your entire bath, including fixing the damage to tiles and walls, can quickly turn into a costly, unexpected bill. At Surface Doctor Chigwell, we can repair the crack in your bath quickly without needing to replace the whole bath. Call now for your 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. In most cases, the crack is 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. Our technicians are adept at identifying the type of crack and deciding the best course of action for your bath. When we are able to repair your bath, our technicians have a specialised procedure they use to achieve a top standard repair that you won't be able to 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 precise repair method takes years of practice to perfect, and our technicians are highly skilled in it.
1. Our technician will assess the crack to determine if it’s easily repairable or if it’s a structural issue. For structural damage, we advise against repairing it, and if you proceed with a repair, we cannot provide a warranty.
2. Next, the technician will clean the area and reinforce the crack from underneath the bath to ensure it's watertight. 3. The next step involves filling in the crack and smoothing it out so it’s perfectly smooth to the touch. 4. To prepare for the next step, the technician will apply our specially formulated bonder to the repair. 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. 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!
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!
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. When customers ask why they should choose our services over a DIY repair kit, we suggest they try it out but contact us when it fails to deliver. DIY repair kits use subpar materials compared to the professional-grade materials we use, and their results don’t last as long. It's also very hard to achieve a true colour match to the surface of your bath as the repair kit will only provide you with one or two shades of white to use on your repair. Simply put, if DIY kits worked properly, we wouldn’t have a business.How long does a bath crack repair last?
While most repairs last for the duration of your bath, we cannot guarantee repairs with extensive cracks or structural damage, as the bath’s lifespan may be unpredictable.
