Instead of replacing your bath, we can repair cracks at a much lower cost! 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 Penicuik, we offer quick repairs for cracks in your bath, no replacement necessary. 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. 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 technicians are adept at identifying the type of crack and deciding the best course of action for your bath. When we are able to repair your bath, our technicians have a specialised procedure they use to achieve a top standard repair that you won't be able to 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.

Replacing your bath can be time-consuming and expensive, plus it contributes more waste to the local landfill. By choosing to repair your bath with us, it will be fully usable within 24 hours! It's also environmentally friendly and economical as it means less wastage.

Bath Crack Repair Colour Matching

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. To guarantee a true colour match, our technician will prepare a custom enamel paint specifically for your bath's unique white tone. Using specialised tinters, we ensure the enamel paint perfectly matches your bath's original colour.

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.

On the day of the repair, our technician will match a new enamel colour to your bath to ensure the repair blends perfectly. This is a precise skill which takes years of practice to get right. We mix your new enamel colour on the day to ensure the colour matches your bath or shower tray’s exact white shade. 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. Before spraying on the new enamel, the crack will need to be supported from underneath, filled in, and sealed to ensure the bath is watertight. Before spraying the colour-matched enamel, our technician will complete all the necessary steps for a flawless repair. Our technician ensures every step is done thoroughly, so you can trust the repair will last just as long as your bath.

Complete Procedure, Step by Step:

1. Our technician will assess the crack to determine if it’s easily 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 clean the damaged area and reinforce the crack from below the bath to make it watertight.

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

4. To prepare for the next step, the technician will apply our specially formulated bonder to the repair.

5. The technician will colour match a new enamel paint to your bath’s exact shade of white, ensuring it blends perfectly. It will then be sprayed onto 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. Use your bath like normal and relax knowing you don't have to rip it out and replace it!

How long does a bath crack repair take?

Residential bath crack fix company in Penicuik

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.

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 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. Simply put - if the DIY repair kits worked so well, we would no longer be in business!

How long will a bath crack repair last?

Most of our repairs are long-lasting, but with significant cracks or structural damage, we cannot provide a guarantee since it’s difficult to assess the bath’s durability.

“When I found a big crack in my bath, I was worried about having to replace it. A friend suggested Surface Doctor London, and I’m so glad they did! The technician did an amazing repair, and we were able to use the bath again the next day. It was such a relief to avoid replacing the whole bath. Thanks for the fast and excellent service!”

“I found a crack in the bath at one of my BTL properties after the tenants left, and it caused leaking and water damage. Surface Doctor was able to repair the crack and seal it, making it watertight and eliminating the leaks! This saved me a lot of hassle compared to redoing the whole bathroom. I’ll always turn to Surface Doctor for repairs now.”
