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. Quotes for ripping out and replacing the bath, plus fixing the surrounding tiles and walls, are typically a high, unplanned expense. Surface Doctor Hackney can fix the crack in your bath efficiently, saving you the hassle and cost of full replacement. Call us now for a no-obligation free 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. 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 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. This skill requires years of practice and experience, which our technicians have mastered.

Bath Crack Repair with Perfect Colour Matching

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 mix a custom enamel paint to match your bath's exact shade of white, ensuring a seamless repair. Using specialised tinters, we ensure the enamel paint perfectly matches your bath's original colour.

Some DIY repair kits will only provide one or two shades of white paint to use on your bath, but it simply won't match the white of your bath. Your bath’s white shade may vary due to age and usage, and there are many shades of white for baths, sinks, and tiles.

Our technician will create your own new enamel colour on the day, to ensure that the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible. Achieving the perfect colour match is a precise skill that takes years of practice. 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 many years of experience colour matching in this way so your bath will be in capable hands with us.

To ensure a lasting repair, we use top-tier, professional-grade materials, such as our unique adhesive bonder that ensures a strong bond to your bath surface. The crack will most likely need to be supported from underneath and filled in and sealed to make sure the bath is watertight before the new enamel is sprayed on top. The technician will handle all these steps before applying the colour-matched new enamel to ensure a perfect result. 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.

Complete Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Our technician will inspect the crack to see if it is easily repairable, or if it is 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. Next, the technician will clean the area and reinforce the crack from underneath the bath to ensure it's watertight.

3. The next step involves filling in the crack and smoothing it out so it’s perfectly smooth to the touch.

4. The technician will then apply our custom bonder to the repair to get it ready for the next step.

5. A custom enamel paint will be colour matched to your bath’s exact white shade, ensuring the repair blends seamlessly. This will be applied 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!

What is the duration of a bath crack repair?

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!

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.

We only use the best materials, which are only available commercially, ensuring no compromises are made on your repair. Our technicians will colour match your bath crack repair by eye for a flawless finish. You’ll be amazed by how great the repair looks once it's done.

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. 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. 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. If DIY repair kits were truly effective, we wouldn’t have stayed in business as long as we have!

How durable is a bath crack repair?

Typically, our repairs last for the entire lifespan of your bath. However, with severe cracks or structural damage, we can’t guarantee the repair as it’s hard to predict the bath’s longevity.

I’ll definitely use Surface Doctor for repairs from now on.”
