We can fix cracks in your bath without the high cost of a full replacement! 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. Quotes for ripping out and replacing the bath, plus fixing the surrounding tiles and walls, are typically a high, unplanned expense. At Surface Doctor Long Eaton, we specialize in fast, affordable bath crack repairs without replacing the entire bath. Get in touch with us now for a free quote, with no obligation!

All of our expert technicians are highly experienced in bath crack repairs and can assess whether the crack is repairable or if replacement is necessary. In many instances, the crack is superficial and can be repaired seamlessly. 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 experts are trained to evaluate the type of crack and determine whether it can be effectively repaired. Our technicians use a specialized procedure to achieve a repair of the highest quality, making it undetectable. 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!

Precise Colour Matching for Bath Crack Repairs

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. We use specialized tinters to create a custom enamel paint that matches your bath’s exact shade of white for a flawless repair. Specialised tinters are used to create a custom colour match for your bath’s enamel paint.

DIY repair kits often provide limited white shades, but these won’t match the exact 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.

To ensure the repair blends seamlessly, our technician will create a custom enamel colour on the day of the repair. Achieving the perfect colour match is a precise skill that takes years of practice. We create the enamel colour on the day to guarantee it matches 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.

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. Our technician will follow these essential steps before applying the colour-matched 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.

Detailed Step-by-Step Process:

1. Our technician will inspect the crack to see if it is easily repairable, or if it is structural. For structural damage, we advise against repairing it, and if you proceed with a repair, we cannot provide a warranty.

2. The technician will clean the surface and then strengthen the crack from the underside to ensure the bath remains watertight.

3. The next step is to fill in the crack and smooth it out so you can't feel it anymore.

4. The technician will then apply our custom bonder to the repair to get it ready for the next step.

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

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

How much time does a bath crack repair take?

On-site bathtub crack repair in Long Eaton

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!

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.

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.

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 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. 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 as effective as advertised, we wouldn’t be here offering professional repairs!

What’s the expected duration 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.

Below are some reviews from our satisfied customers

"I had an awful crack on my bath and was so worried trying to find a tradesman to replace it for me. My friend suggested Surface Doctor London to repair it instead and I'm so relieved your technician was able to do such a fantastic repair on my bath. We could use the bath again the next day and it has been such a relief to not have to get the whole bath replaced. Really grateful for your fast service and repairing my bath!"
AH - Long Eaton,Derbyshire
“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.”
CK - Long Eaton, Derbyshire
"I wasn't sure if my bath was repairable as the crack looked really bad, but when I sent in pictures I was sent a quote that was really reasonable so I went ahead with the repair. The technician was friendly and knowledgable and explained the process to me. The bath is still going strong now! So glad we used you to repair our bath."
DG - Long Eaton,Derbyshire
