Instead of replacing your bath, we can repair cracks at a much lower cost! Cracks in your bath can cause leaks and worsen, leaving your bath unusable until it is fixed. The cost of ripping out and replacing your bath, along with the repairs to surrounding tiles and walls, is usually a significant, unplanned expense. Surface Doctor Hythe can fix the crack in your bath efficiently, saving you the hassle and cost of full replacement. Contact us now for a free, no-obligation quote!
All of our technicians have many years of experience repairing cracked baths and they know how to spot when the damage is easily repairable, or if it does unfortunately need to be replaced. Often, the crack is cosmetic and can be fixed to an excellent standard. If the crack is structural, meaning it affects the bath's framework or is due to installation issues, we don't recommend repairs since the crack could come back. 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. On the day of the repair, they will colour match new enamel paint to your bath to ensure the repair blends perfectly with the original surface. This is a very precise skill and takes many years of practice and experience to perfect - which luckily all our technicians have!
1. The technician will evaluate the crack to determine whether it can be easily repaired or if it’s structural. In cases of structural damage, we’ll advise not repairing it, and a warranty won’t be offered if you choose to proceed.
2. After cleaning the area, the technician will reinforce the crack from underneath the bath to guarantee 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. To prepare for the next step, the technician will apply our specially formulated bonder to the repair. 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 like normal and relax knowing you don't have 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.
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. 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 materials in DIY repair kits are of lower quality than the professional materials we use, meaning the repairs won’t last as long. It's also very hard to achieve a true colour match to the surface of your bath as the repair kit will only provide you with one or two shades of white to use on your repair. Simply put, if DIY kits worked properly, we wouldn’t have a business.How durable is a bath crack repair?
