With years of experience, our technicians are skilled in determining whether a cracked bath can be repaired or needs to be replaced. In many instances, the crack is superficial and can be repaired seamlessly. 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. Our experts are trained to evaluate the type of crack and determine whether it can be effectively repaired. When repair is an option, our technicians use an expert procedure to achieve a smooth, high-quality repair that you won’t notice. 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. The technician will evaluate the crack to determine whether it can be easily repaired or if it’s structural. 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. The technician will then clean the area and reinforce the crack from the underside of the bath to make sure 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 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. Feel at ease using your bath again, with no need to rip it out and 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 focus is on delivering the highest standard of repairs and providing excellent customer service, so you’re fully satisfied. Most of our repairs will be unnoticeable during regular 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. We’re often asked why to choose us over a DIY repair kit, and we always say try it, but reach out to us when it doesn’t work out. DIY repair kits use subpar materials compared to the professional-grade materials we use, and their results don’t last as long. The problem with DIY repair kits is that they only give one or two shades of white, making it nearly impossible to achieve a true colour match. Simply put, if DIY kits worked properly, we wouldn’t have a business.What is the lifespan of a bath crack repair?
