Instead of replacing your bath, we can repair cracks at a much lower cost! A crack in your bath can prevent you from using it due to leaks or the risk of the crack spreading. Removing and replacing your entire bath, including fixing the damage to tiles and walls, can quickly turn into a costly, unexpected bill. Surface Doctor Newlands can fix the crack in your bath efficiently, saving you the hassle and cost of full replacement. Call now for your free, no-obligation quote!

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 most cases, the crack is superficial and can be repaired to a high 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. We specialize in assessing bath damage to determine whether the crack is repairable or structural. 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 precise repair method takes years of practice to perfect, and our technicians are highly skilled in it.

Precise Colour Matching for Bath Crack Repairs

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. The technician uses specialized tinters to create the exact shade of white needed for your bath.

Some DIY repair kits come with just one or two white shades, which won’t match the unique white of your bath. There are many different shades of white for baths, sinks, shower trays, and tiles, and the original white may change with age and use.

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 have to create your new enamel colour on the day - to make sure the colour matches the shade of white of your bath or shower tray exactly. With years of experience in colour matching, our technicians will ensure a perfect result.

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. So our technician will do all of these steps before spraying on the colour-matched new enamel to your bath. Our technician follows every necessary step, ensuring the repair lasts for years, just like the rest of your bath.

Complete Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Our technician will assess the crack to determine if it’s easily repairable or if it’s a structural issue. In cases of structural damage, we’ll advise not repairing it, and a warranty won’t be offered if you choose to proceed.

2. The technician will clean the damaged area and reinforce the crack from below the bath to make it watertight.

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

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

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. Leave your bath for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully 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?

Affordable bath crack repair services in Newlands

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!

We strive for the best quality repairs and exceptional customer service, making sure you are fully satisfied. Most repairs will blend seamlessly with 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. 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 does a bath crack repair last?

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 examples of what our customers have to say about us

“I had a huge crack in my bath and was stressing about finding someone to replace it. A friend recommended Surface Doctor London for repairs instead, and I’m so glad they did. The technician did an incredible job and we were able to use the bath again the very next day. I’m so relieved we didn’t have to replace the whole bath. Thanks for the fast service and amazing repair!”
AH - Newlands,Glasgow-City
“When I discovered a crack in the bath at one of my BTL properties, it had already caused leaking and water damage. Surface Doctor repaired the crack, sealed it to make it watertight, and stopped the leaks! It was such a relief to avoid having to redo the entire bathroom. From now on, Surface Doctor is my go-to for repairs.”
