We can fix cracks in your bath without the high cost of a full replacement! A crack in your bath can prevent you from using it due to leaks or the risk of the crack spreading. Quotes to rip out the whole bath and replace it, along with fixing the damage caused to the surrounding tiles and walls during this, will most likely be a costly and unplanned for expense. At Surface Doctor Kingston-upon-Thames, we can repair the crack in your bath quickly without needing to replace the whole bath. Call us now for a no-obligation free quote!

Our technicians have years of expertise in cracked bath repairs, knowing when damage can be repaired or when replacement is the better option. Often, the crack is cosmetic and can be fixed to an excellent 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 technicians are experts at assessing the damage to determine what type of crack your bath has. When repairs are possible, our technicians follow a specialized process to ensure a flawless repair that blends seamlessly into the bath. To ensure the repair looks flawless, our technicians will match the enamel paint to your bath’s exact colour on-site. Our technicians have perfected this precise skill after years of experience and practice.

Colour Matching for Bath Crack Repairs

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. We use specialized tinters to create a custom enamel paint that matches your bath’s exact shade of white for a flawless repair. This is achieved using specialised tinters for the perfect match.

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. 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.

On the day of the repair, our technician will match a new enamel colour to your bath to ensure the repair blends perfectly. This precise colour matching process takes years of practice to perfect. Creating the enamel colour on-site ensures a perfect match to the exact shade of white of your bath or shower tray. With many years of experience in colour matching, our technicians ensure your bath is in expert hands.

We always use the highest quality professional grade materials available - such as our special adhesive bonder which makes your repair stick to the surface of your bath. Most cracks will need to be supported from beneath, filled, and sealed to make the bath watertight before the new enamel is applied. All these steps will be completed by our technician before the final layer of colour-matched enamel is sprayed onto your bath. Our technician follows every necessary step, ensuring the repair lasts for years, just like 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. The technician will clean the surface and then strengthen the crack from the underside to ensure the bath remains 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. A new enamel paint will be colour matched to the exact shade of white of your bath to make sure that it blends in seamlessly. This will be sprayed on to the repair using a fine spray gun.

6. Allow your bath to set for 24 hours before using it to ensure the repair fully cures.

7. Relax and use your bath like normal, no need for costly 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.

At Surface Doctor, we use only the highest quality materials, available exclusively on a commercial level, ensuring no corners are cut during your repair. Our technicians will perform a bath crack repair, colour matched to your bath by eye, guaranteeing the best possible result. Once the repair is complete, you’ll be amazed at the flawless finish.

Some of our customers have asked why should they choose us over using a cheap DIY repair kit themselves, and we always say they're welcome to give it a go, but give us a call when it doesn't work out. The materials in DIY repair kits are of lower quality than the professional materials we use, meaning the repairs 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 were truly effective, we wouldn’t have stayed in business as long as we have!

How long will a bath crack repair last?

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.
