Repairing cracks in your bath is much more affordable than replacing the whole bath! When you find a crack in your bath, it is such a hassle as you now can't use your bath due to it leaking or the crack potentially getting worse. 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 Hove, we offer quick repairs for cracks in your bath, no replacement necessary. Call now for your free, no-obligation quote!

Our technicians have extensive experience repairing cracked baths, and they can quickly assess whether the damage can be repaired or if the bath needs to be replaced. Most times the crack is just superficial and can be repaired to a high standard. Sometimes the crack will be structural - meaning it is actually affecting the structure of the bath or it was improperly installed in the first place which will have caused it to crack - in these cases we don't recommend having it repaired as the crack may come back. Our technicians are adept at identifying the type of crack and deciding the best course of action for your bath. When repair is an option, our technicians use an expert procedure to achieve a smooth, high-quality repair that you won’t notice. Our technicians will match the enamel paint to your bath’s exact colour to make sure the repair is seamless. This skill requires years of practice and experience, which our technicians have mastered.

Colour Matching for Bath Crack Repairs

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. We use specialized tinters to create a custom enamel paint that matches your bath’s exact shade of white for a flawless repair. Using specialised tinters, we ensure the enamel paint perfectly matches your bath's original colour.

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.

To ensure the repair blends seamlessly, our technician will create a custom enamel colour on the day of the repair. Matching the enamel colour perfectly requires a high level of skill and 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.

At Surface Doctor, we only use the highest quality, professional-grade materials, including our special adhesive bonder that ensures the repair adheres perfectly to your bath's surface. To guarantee a watertight repair, the crack will be supported from below, filled, and sealed before we apply the new enamel. Before spraying the colour-matched enamel, our technician will complete all the necessary steps for a flawless repair. Our technician follows every necessary step, ensuring the repair lasts for years, just like the rest of your bath.

Full Step By Step Procedure:

1. Our technician will inspect the crack to see if it is easily repairable, or if it is structural. 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 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. 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. For the repair to fully cure and set, leave your bath unused for 24 hours.

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

What is the duration of a bath crack repair?

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!

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.

We use the best quality materials that are only available on a commercial basis and will never ever cut corners by using cheaper materials whilst carrying out your repair. Our technicians will carry out a bath crack repair that is colour matched to your bath by eye ensuring you get the best repair possible. When you see your completed repair, you'll be amazed by how good it is.

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. The problem with the DIY repair kits is the quality of the materials they provide are totally substandard to 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 worked as well as claimed, we wouldn’t still be in business!

What is the lifespan of 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.
