Reliable bath crack repair specialists in Hillingdon Fiberglass bath crack repair near Hillingdon

We offer bath crack repairs at a fraction of the cost of replacing your entire bath! A crack in your bath can prevent you from using it due to leaks or the risk of the crack spreading. The cost of ripping out and replacing your bath, along with the repairs to surrounding tiles and walls, is usually a significant, unplanned expense. At Surface Doctor Hillingdon, we can repair the crack in your bath quickly without needing to replace the whole bath. Get in touch with us now for a free quote, with no obligation!

With years of experience, our technicians are skilled in determining whether a cracked bath can be repaired or needs to be replaced. Most times the crack is just superficial and can be repaired to a high standard. 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 experts are trained to evaluate the type of crack and determine whether it can be effectively repaired. When repairs are possible, our technicians follow a specialized process to ensure a flawless repair that blends seamlessly into the bath. 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

One of the most essential steps in bath repairs is achieving a perfect colour match for the enamel paint. All baths vary in their shade of white, so pre-made paint won’t work. To guarantee a true colour match, our technician will prepare a custom enamel paint specifically for your bath's unique white tone. This is achieved using specialised tinters for the perfect match.

DIY repair kits often provide limited white shades, but these won’t match the exact white of your bath. 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.

To ensure the repair blends seamlessly, our technician will create a custom enamel colour on the day of the repair. Creating a flawless colour match is a skill that requires years of experience. Creating the enamel colour on-site ensures a perfect match to the exact shade of white of your bath or shower tray. With years of experience in colour matching, our technicians will ensure a perfect result.

Our materials are of the highest professional grade, including an exclusive adhesive bonder that guarantees the repair stays firmly in place. The crack will require support from underneath, filling, and sealing to ensure the bath remains watertight before we apply the new enamel. So our technician will do all of these steps before spraying on the colour-matched new enamel to your bath. Our technician ensures every step is done thoroughly, so you can trust the repair will last just as long as your bath.

Complete Procedure, Step by Step:

1. The crack will be inspected by our technician to assess whether it is easily repairable or 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 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. Next, the technician will apply a specialised bonder to the repair, preparing it for the next stage.

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. Make sure to leave your bath for 24 hours before using it so the repair has time to cure and set.

7. Use your bath as you normally would and relax, without the hassle of replacement!

What’s the time frame for completing a bath crack repair?

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 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.

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.

Many customers ask why they should choose us instead of using a cheap DIY repair kit, and we tell them to give it a try 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 difficult to achieve with DIY kits, as they only provide one or two shades of white for your repair. 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.

“I had a major crack in my bath and didn’t want to deal with replacing it. A friend recommended Surface Doctor London, and I’m so happy they did! The technician did a great job repairing it, and we were able to use the bath again the very next day. I’m so relieved we didn’t have to replace the entire bath. Very grateful for the speedy 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.”
