Repairing cracks in your bath is much more affordable than replacing the whole bath! A crack in your bath can prevent you from using it due to leaks or the risk of the crack spreading. Quotes for ripping out and replacing the bath, plus fixing the surrounding tiles and walls, are typically a high, unplanned expense. At Surface Doctor Oakley, we offer quick repairs for cracks in your bath, no replacement necessary. Call today for a free, no-obligation quote!
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. Occasionally, the crack will be structural, affecting the bath’s integrity or due to poor installation, in which case we don’t recommend repairing it, as the crack may reappear. Our experts are trained to evaluate the type of crack and determine whether it can be effectively repaired. When repairs are possible, our technicians follow a specialized process to ensure a flawless repair that blends seamlessly into the bath. The repair process involves colour-matching the enamel paint to your bath’s exact shade, ensuring the repair is virtually undetectable. This is a very precise skill and takes many years of practice and experience to perfect - which luckily all our technicians have!
1. Our technician will assess the crack to determine if it’s easily repairable or if it’s a structural issue. If the damage is structural, we do not recommend proceeding with repairs, and in such cases, no warranty will be offered.
2. After cleaning the area, the technician will reinforce the crack from underneath the bath to guarantee 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. Next, the technician will apply a specialised bonder to the repair, preparing it for the next stage. 5. The technician will match a new enamel paint to your bath’s exact white shade for a seamless blend, and it will be sprayed onto the repair using a fine spray gun. 6. For the repair to fully cure and set, leave your bath unused for 24 hours. 7. Relax and use your bath like normal, no need for costly replacement!
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.
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. We’ve been asked why customers should choose us over using a DIY repair kit, and we always say try it yourself, but call us when it doesn't work. 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. It's also very hard to achieve a true colour match to the surface of your bath as the repair kit will only provide you with one or two shades of white to use on your repair. If DIY repair kits were truly effective, we wouldn’t have stayed in business as long as we have!How durable is 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.
