Experienced Bath Crack Repair Experts in Ratho

Professional bath crack repair in XX Shower and bath crack repair experts in Ratho

We offer bath crack repairs at a fraction of the cost of replacing your entire bath! 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 to rip out the whole bath and replace it, along with fixing the damage caused to the surrounding tiles and walls during this, will most likely be a costly and unplanned for expense. At Surface Doctor Ratho, we specialize in fast, affordable bath crack repairs without replacing the entire bath. Contact us now 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. 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. Our experienced technicians are skilled at determining the type of crack in your bath and whether it can be 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. Achieving such a perfect repair requires precision and years of practice, something our technicians have mastered.

Removing and replacing your bath will be time consuming and costly, along with adding more rubbish to your local landfill site.

Repairing your bath is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective choice, reducing waste.

Precise Colour Matching for Bath Crack Repairs

Colour matching is critical in bath repairs, as no two baths are the same shade of white, and pre-made paints won’t provide the precise match needed. Our technician will create your very own enamel paint that matches the shade of white of your bath on the day to get a true colour match. Specialised tinters are used to create a custom colour match for your bath’s enamel paint.

Some DIY repair kits come with just one or two white shades, which won’t match the unique white of your bath. 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. Creating a flawless colour match is a skill that requires years of experience. 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 many years of experience colour matching in this way so your bath will be in capable hands with us.

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. The crack will require support from underneath, filling, and sealing to ensure the bath remains watertight before we apply the new enamel. The technician will handle all these steps before applying the colour-matched new enamel to ensure a perfect result. 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. A custom enamel paint will be colour matched to your bath’s exact white shade, ensuring the repair blends seamlessly. This will be applied 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!

How long does a bath crack repair take?

Depending on the size and type of crack, the repair will take 1-2 hours to half a day. This is far quicker than the hassle of removing and replacing your bath!

We always aim to achieve the highest quality repair possible, with excellent customer service, so you feel totally happy with your repair. The majority of our repairs will not be noticeable with normal usage of your bath.

We only use the best materials, which are only available commercially, ensuring no compromises are made on your repair. Our technicians will colour match your bath crack repair by eye for a flawless finish. You’ll be amazed by how great the repair looks once it's done.

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. The problem with DIY repair kits is that they only give one or two shades of white, making it nearly impossible to achieve a true colour match. Simply put, if DIY kits worked properly, we wouldn’t have a business.

How durable is a bath crack repair?

While most repairs last for the duration of your bath, we cannot guarantee repairs with extensive cracks or structural damage, as the bath’s lifespan may be unpredictable.

Here are a few examples of what our customers say about us

"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!"
BN - Ratho,City-of-Edinburgh
"I found a crack in the bath at one of my BTL properties after the tenants moved out, and it had caused some leaking and water damage to the floor underneath the bathroom. Surface Doctor were able to repair the crack and seal it so it’s now watertight and there are no more leaks! It saved a lot of agro over having to re-do the whole bathroom. I’ll always use Surface Doctor when I need to get a repair done now."
MK - Ratho, City-of-Edinburgh
“I wasn’t sure if my bath could be repaired because the crack looked really bad, but after sending in pictures, I received a very reasonable quote and decided to go ahead with the repair. The technician was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything. My bath is still holding up perfectly! So glad we chose you for the repair.”
BW - Ratho,City-of-Edinburgh
“We’re so thankful for the crack repair in our bath! It used to be an eyesore and would always annoy me when I walked into the bathroom. After your repair, it looks like there was never any damage, and it’s as good as new!”
