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. 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 experts at assessing the damage to determine what type of crack your bath has. When repairs are possible, our technicians follow a specialized process to ensure a flawless repair that blends seamlessly into the bath. The repair process involves colour-matching the enamel paint to your bath’s exact shade, ensuring the repair is virtually undetectable. This precise repair method takes years of practice to perfect, and our technicians are highly skilled in it.
1. Our technician will examine the crack to identify whether it's repairable or if it’s a structural issue. If the damage is structural, we do not recommend proceeding with repairs, and in such cases, no warranty will be offered.
2. Next, the technician will clean the area and reinforce the crack from underneath the bath to ensure it's watertight. 3. Next, we’ll fill the crack and smooth it over to ensure it’s completely seamless. 4. Next, the technician will apply a specialised bonder to the repair, preparing it for the next stage. 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. Make sure to leave your bath for 24 hours before using it so the repair has time to cure and set. 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!
Our goal is to provide the highest quality repair and outstanding customer service, ensuring you're completely satisfied with the result. Most of our repairs won’t be noticeable with everyday 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. The materials in DIY repair kits are of lower quality than the professional materials we use, meaning the repairs 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. If DIY repair kits worked as well as claimed, we wouldn’t still 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.
