Instead of replacing your bath, we can repair cracks at a much lower cost! A crack in your bath can prevent you from using it due to leaks or the risk of the crack spreading. Quotes for ripping out and replacing the bath, plus fixing the surrounding tiles and walls, are typically a high, unplanned expense. At Surface Doctor Fountainbridge, we offer quick repairs for cracks in your bath, no replacement necessary. 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. If the crack is structural, meaning it affects the bath's framework or is due to installation issues, we don't recommend repairs since the crack could come back. Our experienced technicians are skilled at determining the type of crack in your bath and whether it can be repaired. If the bath is repairable, our technicians follow a precise process to deliver a top-tier repair that seamlessly matches the rest of 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.

Repairing your bath is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective choice, reducing waste.

Precise Colour Matching for Bath Crack Repairs

One of the most important steps in repairing a bath is colour matching a new enamel paint for the repair. Believe it or not, all baths are varying shades of white, so a pre-made paint simply won't match the colour of your bath precisely. 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. This is achieved using specialised tinters for the perfect match.

Many DIY repair kits offer only one or two shades of white paint, but they won't match your bath’s exact white shade. Baths, sinks, shower trays, and white tiles all come in various shades of white, with the original shade being affected by the age and wear of the bath.

On the day of the repair, our technician will match a new enamel colour to your bath to ensure the repair blends perfectly. This precise colour matching process takes years of practice to perfect. 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. Thanks to years of expertise in colour matching, our technicians will make sure your bath is well taken care of.

We always use the highest quality professional grade materials available - such as our special adhesive bonder which makes your repair stick to the surface of your bath. Most cracks will need to be supported from beneath, filled, and sealed to make the bath watertight before the new enamel is applied. All these steps will be completed by our technician before the final layer of colour-matched enamel is sprayed onto your bath. No steps will be skipped, ensuring a long-lasting repair that’s as durable as the rest of your bath.

Complete Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Our technician will examine the crack to identify whether it's repairable or if it’s a structural issue. If it’s found to be structural damage, we won’t recommend repairing it and will not offer a warranty on any repair.

2. The technician will clean the damaged area and reinforce the crack from below the bath to make it watertight.

3. We’ll fill the crack and smooth the surface so that it feels as if the crack never existed.

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 like normal and relax knowing you don't have to rip it out and replace it!

How long will it take to repair a crack in my bath?

Long bathtub crack repair service in Fountainbridge

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!

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.

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. The materials in DIY repair kits are of lower quality than the professional materials we use, meaning the repairs won’t last as long. Achieving a true colour match with a DIY repair kit is nearly impossible, as they only offer one or two shades of white for repairs. Simply put - if the DIY repair kits worked so well, we would no longer be in business!

How durable is 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.

Below are some reviews from our satisfied customers

“I had a huge crack in my bath and was stressing about finding someone to replace it. A friend recommended Surface Doctor London for repairs instead, and I’m so glad they did. The technician did an incredible job and we were able to use the bath again the very next day. I’m so relieved we didn’t have to replace the whole bath. Thanks for the fast service and amazing repair!”

“After finding a crack in the bath at one of my BTL properties, I noticed it had led to leaks and water damage underneath. Surface Doctor was able to repair the crack and seal it, making it watertight and stopping the leaks! It saved me the headache of redoing the whole bathroom. I’ll always call Surface Doctor for any future repairs.”
