We can repair cracks in your bath at a fraction of the price of replacing your bath! Finding a crack in your bath is a hassle, as it can lead to leaks and worsen over time, making your bath unusable. Removing and replacing your entire bath, including fixing the damage to tiles and walls, can quickly turn into a costly, unexpected bill. Surface Doctor Hythe can fix the crack in your bath efficiently, saving you the hassle and cost of full replacement. Get in touch with us now for a free quote, with no obligation!

Our technicians have years of expertise in cracked bath repairs, knowing when damage can be repaired or when replacement is the better option. 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. We specialize in assessing bath damage to determine whether the crack is repairable or structural. If the bath is repairable, our technicians follow a precise process to deliver a top-tier repair that seamlessly matches the rest of the bath. 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. Our technicians have perfected this precise skill after years of experience and practice.

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 custom creates the enamel paint on-site to match your bath’s exact shade of white, ensuring a perfect colour match. Specialised tinters are used to create a custom colour match for your bath’s enamel paint.

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. This precise colour matching process takes years of practice to perfect. We mix your new enamel colour on the day to ensure the colour matches your bath or shower tray’s exact white shade. With many years of experience in colour matching, our technicians ensure your bath is in expert hands.

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. 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. It’s important to leave your bath for 24 hours to allow the repair to fully cure and set.

7. Use your bath like normal and relax knowing you don't have to rip it out and replace it!

Bath Crack Repair Experts in Hythe, Kent

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

Bathroom renovation with crack repair in Hythe

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!

At Surface Doctor, we aim for top-quality repairs and excellent service, ensuring you're happy with your repair. The majority of our repairs won’t be visible during normal 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.

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 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 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 were truly effective, we wouldn’t have stayed in business as long as we have!

How long will a bath crack repair last?

Most of our repairs are long-lasting, but with significant cracks or structural damage, we cannot provide a guarantee since it’s difficult to assess the bath’s durability.

“When I found a big crack in my bath, I was worried about having to replace it. A friend suggested Surface Doctor London, and I’m so glad they did! The technician did an amazing repair, and we were able to use the bath again the next day. It was such a relief to avoid replacing the whole bath. Thanks for the fast and excellent service!”

"I found a crack in the bath at one of my BTL properties after the tenants moved out, and it had caused some leaking and water damage to the floor underneath the bathroom. Surface Doctor were able to repair the crack and seal it so it’s now watertight and there are no more leaks! It saved a lot of agro over having to re-do the whole bathroom. I’ll always use Surface Doctor when I need to get a repair done now."
