Gorgie’s Expert Bath Crack Repair Specialists

Shower and bath crack repair experts in Gorgie Fast and efficient bath crack repair in Gorgie

We can repair cracks in your bath at a fraction of the price of replacing your bath! When you notice a crack in your bath, it’s a big inconvenience, as it may leak or get worse over time. Removing and replacing your entire bath, including fixing the damage to tiles and walls, can quickly turn into a costly, unexpected bill. Instead of replacing your whole bath, Surface Doctor Gorgie can repair the crack quickly and efficiently. Contact us now 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. In many instances, the crack is superficial and can be repaired seamlessly. In some cases, the crack is structural, meaning it impacts the bath’s strength or was caused by improper installation; in these cases, we advise against repairs as the crack may return. Our experienced technicians are skilled at determining the type of crack in your bath and whether it can be repaired. When repair is an option, our technicians use an expert procedure to achieve a smooth, high-quality repair that you won’t notice. 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. Achieving such a perfect repair requires precision and years of practice, something our technicians have mastered.

Bath Crack Repair Colour Matching

A key step in bath repairs is colour matching the enamel paint. Since baths come in different shades of white, pre-made paint will never match your bath's colour exactly. Our technician will mix a custom enamel paint to match your bath's exact shade of white, ensuring a seamless repair. This is achieved using specialised tinters for the perfect match.

Most DIY repair kits only offer a couple of white shades, which won’t perfectly match your bath’s original colour. 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.

Our technician customizes the enamel colour on-site to ensure the repair matches your bath perfectly. Creating a flawless colour match is a skill that requires years of experience. We mix your new enamel colour on the day to ensure the colour matches your bath or shower tray’s exact white shade. Our technicians have extensive experience in colour matching, so your bath is in skilled hands.

We use only the best professional-grade materials, like our specialized adhesive bonder, to ensure your repair sticks firmly to the bath surface. Most cracks will need to be supported from beneath, filled, and sealed to make the bath watertight before the new enamel is applied. So our technician will do all of these steps before spraying on the colour-matched new enamel to your bath. He won't skimp on any of these steps, so you can rest assured the repair will last as long as the rest of your bath.

Our Full Step-by-Step Procedure:

1. Our technician will assess the crack to determine if it’s easily 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. We’ll fill the crack and smooth the surface so that it feels as if the crack never existed.

4. Next, the technician will apply a specialised bonder to the repair, preparing it for the next stage.

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. Leave your bath for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully cure and set.

7. Feel at ease using your bath again, with no need to rip it out and replace it!

How much time does a bath crack repair take?

On-site bathtub crack repair in Gorgie

Depending on the extent of the crack and if it is structural - your repair will take anywhere from 1-2 hours to half a day. Much faster than removing and replacing your bath!

We strive for the best quality repairs and exceptional customer service, making sure you are fully satisfied. Most repairs will blend seamlessly with regular 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.

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. 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 worked as well as claimed, we wouldn’t still be in business!

What is the lifespan of a bath crack repair?

While most repairs last for the duration of your bath, we cannot guarantee repairs with extensive cracks or structural damage, as the bath’s lifespan may be unpredictable.
