Professional Bath Crack Repair Services in Polegate

Long bathtub crack repair service in Polegate Fast and efficient bath crack repair in Polegate

Repairing cracks in your bath is much more affordable than replacing the whole bath! Finding a crack in your bath is a hassle, as it can lead to leaks and worsen over time, making your bath unusable. 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 Polegate, we offer quick repairs for cracks in your bath, no replacement necessary. Get in touch with us now for a free quote, with no obligation!

With years of experience, our technicians are skilled in determining whether a cracked bath can be repaired or needs to be replaced. 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. We specialize in assessing bath damage to determine whether the crack is repairable or structural. If the bath is repairable, our technicians follow a precise process to deliver a top-tier repair that seamlessly matches the rest of the bath. To ensure the repair looks flawless, our technicians will match the enamel paint to your bath’s exact colour on-site. This is a very precise skill and takes many years of practice and experience to perfect - which luckily all our technicians have!

Bath Crack Repair with Perfect Colour Matching

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. Our technician custom creates the enamel paint on-site to match your bath’s exact shade of white, ensuring a perfect colour match. Using specialised tinters, we ensure the enamel paint perfectly matches your bath's original colour.

Most DIY repair kits only offer a couple of white shades, which won’t perfectly match your bath’s original colour. Baths, shower trays, sinks, and white tiles come in so many different shades of white, and the original shade of white could be affected by the age of your bath, and the usage it has had.

To achieve a seamless repair, our technician will mix a new enamel colour on the day of the repair. Achieving the perfect colour match is a precise skill that takes years of practice. Creating the enamel colour on-site ensures a perfect match to the exact shade of white of your bath or shower tray. Our technicians have extensive experience in colour matching, so your bath is in skilled 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. 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 Step-by-Step Guide:

1. The technician will evaluate the crack to determine whether it can be easily repaired or if it’s 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 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. 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. 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?

Expert bathtub crack sealing service Polegate

Depending on the extent of the crack and if it is structural - your repair will take anywhere from 1-2 hours to half a day. Much faster than removing and replacing your 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.

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 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 worked as well as claimed, we wouldn’t still be in business!

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.

"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!"
