Instead of replacing your bath, we can repair cracks at a much lower cost! Cracks in your bath can cause leaks and worsen, leaving your bath unusable until it is fixed. 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 Essex, we can repair the crack in your bath quickly without needing to replace the whole bath. Contact us now for a free, no-obligation quote!
With years of experience, our technicians are skilled in determining whether a cracked bath can be repaired or needs to be replaced. In most cases, the crack is superficial and can be repaired to a high standard. 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. We specialize in assessing bath damage to determine whether the crack is repairable or structural. 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! Our technicians will match the enamel paint to your bath’s exact colour to make sure the repair is seamless. This is a very precise skill and takes many years of practice and experience to perfect - which luckily all our technicians have!
1. Our technician will inspect the crack to see if it is easily repairable, or if it is structural. If the damage is structural, we do not recommend proceeding with repairs, and in such cases, no warranty will be offered.
2. The technician will clean the surface and then strengthen the crack from the underside to ensure the bath remains watertight. 3. The next step is to fill in the crack and smooth it out so you can't feel it anymore. 4. To prepare for the next step, the technician will apply our specially formulated bonder to the repair. 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. It’s important to leave your bath for 24 hours to allow the repair to fully cure and set. 7. Feel at ease using your bath again, with no need 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!
At Surface Doctor, we aim for top-quality repairs and excellent service, ensuring you're happy with your repair. The majority of our repairs won’t be visible during normal use of your bath.
We never cut corners when carrying out repairs, using only top-quality, commercial-grade materials. Our technicians will colour match your bath crack repair by eye, ensuring a seamless result. When you see the finished repair, you'll be blown away by the quality. We’ve been asked why customers should choose us over using a DIY repair kit, and we always say try it yourself, but call us when it doesn't work. The issue with DIY repair kits is that the materials are of much lower quality than the professional-grade materials we use, and they won’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 is the lifespan of a bath crack repair?
