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 Kent, we can repair the crack in your bath quickly without needing to replace the whole bath. Call now for your free, no-obligation quote!

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. When the crack is structural, affecting the bath's integrity or caused by poor installation, it’s best not to repair it as the crack may reoccur. 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. 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 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. Specialised tinters are used to create a custom colour match for your bath’s enamel paint.

Most DIY repair kits only offer a couple of white shades, which won’t perfectly match your bath’s original colour. Baths, shower trays, sinks, and white tiles come in so many different shades of white, and the original shade of white could be affected by the age of your bath, and the usage it has had.

To achieve a seamless repair, our technician will mix a new enamel colour on the day of the repair. This is a precise skill which takes years of practice to get right. This is why we create the enamel colour on the day, to ensure it perfectly matches the exact white shade of your bath or shower tray. 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. To guarantee a watertight repair, the crack will be supported from below, filled, and sealed before we apply the new enamel. The technician will handle all these steps before applying the colour-matched new enamel to ensure a perfect result. Our technician follows every necessary step, ensuring the repair lasts for years, just like the rest of your bath.

Complete Procedure, Step by Step:

1. Our technician will examine the crack to identify whether it's repairable or if it’s a structural issue. For structural damage, we advise against repairing it, and if you proceed with a repair, we cannot provide a warranty.

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

4. Then the technician will apply our specialised bonder to the repair in preparation 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. 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!

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

Bathroom renovation with crack repair in Kent

Depending on the size and type of crack, the repair will take 1-2 hours to half a day. This is far quicker than the hassle of removing and replacing your bath!

We always aim to achieve the highest quality repair possible, with excellent customer service, so you feel totally happy with your repair. The majority of our repairs will not be noticeable with normal usage 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.

When customers ask why they should choose our services over a DIY repair kit, we suggest they try it out but contact us when it fails to deliver. 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. Simply put - if the DIY repair kits worked so well, we would no longer be in business!

What is the lifespan of a bath crack repair?

For most repairs, the results will last as long as your bath, but in cases of extensive cracks or structural damage, we cannot offer a guarantee due to the uncertainty of how long the bath will remain intact.

“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!”
AS - Kent,Kent
“After my tenants moved out, I discovered a crack in the bath at one of my BTL properties that had caused leaking and water damage to the floor. Surface Doctor quickly repaired the crack, sealed it, and now the bath is watertight with no more leaks! It saved me from having to completely redo the bathroom. I’ll definitely use Surface Doctor for repairs from now on.”
