Repairing cracks in your bath is much more affordable than replacing the whole bath! Finding a crack in your bath is a hassle, as it can lead to leaks and worsen over time, making your bath unusable. Replacing the entire bath, including repairing surrounding tiles and walls, can be a costly and unexpected expense. At Surface Doctor Dover, we can repair the crack in your bath quickly without needing to replace the whole bath. Call today for a free, no-obligation quote!
Our technicians have years of expertise in cracked bath repairs, knowing when damage can be repaired or when replacement is the better option. Most cracks are merely superficial and can be repaired to look like new. 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 experts are trained to evaluate the type of crack and determine whether it can be effectively repaired. When repairs are possible, our technicians follow a specialized process to ensure a flawless repair that blends seamlessly into the bath. 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.
1. Our technician will examine the crack to identify whether it's repairable or if it’s a structural issue. 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. 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. We’ll match the new enamel paint to the exact white of your bath to ensure a flawless finish, applying it with a fine spray gun. 6. Allow your bath to set for 24 hours before using it to ensure the repair fully cures. 7. Use your bath like normal and relax knowing you don't have to rip it out and replace it!
The repair process usually takes between 1-2 hours to half a day, depending on whether the crack is structural. It’s a much quicker option than 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.
We use the best quality materials that are only available on a commercial basis and will never ever cut corners by using cheaper materials whilst carrying out your repair. Our technicians will carry out a bath crack repair that is colour matched to your bath by eye ensuring you get the best repair possible. When you see your completed repair, you'll be amazed by how good it is. 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 kits use inferior materials compared to the professional-grade materials we provide, and they simply don’t last as long. A true colour match is challenging with DIY kits, as they provide just one or two shades of white, which won’t match your bath's exact shade. If DIY repair kits were as effective as advertised, we wouldn’t be here offering professional repairs!What’s the expected duration of a bath crack repair?
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.
