Professional Bath Crack Repair Services in Rayleigh

Cracked bathtub restoration in Rayleigh Bathroom renovation with crack repair in Rayleigh

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 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 Rayleigh, we can repair the crack in your bath quickly without needing to replace the whole bath. Call now for your free, no-obligation quote!

With years of experience, our technicians are skilled in determining whether a cracked bath can be repaired or needs to be replaced. Most cracks are merely superficial and can be repaired to look like new. 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. They will colour match a new enamel paint to your exact bath on the day to make sure the new repair blends into your bath seamlessly. Our technicians have perfected this precise skill after years of experience and practice.

Expert Colour Matching for Bath Crack Repairs

For the best repair, we ensure the enamel paint is colour-matched precisely to your bath. Since all baths are different shades of white, pre-made paint won’t suffice. To guarantee a true colour match, our technician will prepare a custom enamel paint specifically for your bath's unique white tone. They do this using specialised tinters.

Many DIY repair kits offer only one or two shades of white paint, but they won't match your bath’s exact white shade. Your bath’s white shade may vary due to age and usage, and there are many shades of white for baths, sinks, and tiles.

Our technician customizes the enamel colour on-site to ensure the repair matches your bath perfectly. 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. Our technicians have extensive experience in colour matching, so your bath is in skilled hands.

We always use the highest quality professional grade materials available - such as our special adhesive bonder which makes your repair stick to the surface of your bath. Most cracks will need to be supported from beneath, filled, and sealed to make the bath watertight before the new enamel is applied. Our technician will follow these essential steps before applying the colour-matched enamel to your bath. We don’t cut corners, so you can be confident that the repair will last as long as your bath’s original surface.

Full Step By Step Procedure:

1. The crack will be inspected by our technician to assess whether it is easily repairable or structural. In cases of structural damage, we’ll advise not repairing it, and a warranty won’t be offered if you choose to proceed.

2. After cleaning the area, the technician will reinforce the crack from underneath the bath to guarantee it's 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. Make sure to leave your bath for 24 hours before using it so the repair has time to cure and set.

7. Use your bath as you normally would and relax, without the hassle of replacement!

How long will it take to repair a crack in my bath?

Shower and bath crack repair experts in Rayleigh

Your bath crack repair will take between 1-2 hours and half a day, depending on the crack's extent and whether it’s structural. It's much faster than 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 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.

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. DIY kits use inferior materials compared to the professional-grade materials we provide, and they simply don’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. 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?

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.

Here’s a selection of what our customers are saying about us

“I had a major crack in my bath and didn’t want to deal with replacing it. A friend recommended Surface Doctor London, and I’m so happy they did! The technician did a great job repairing it, and we were able to use the bath again the very next day. I’m so relieved we didn’t have to replace the entire bath. Very grateful for the speedy repair!”
TH - Rayleigh,Essex
"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."
SK - Rayleigh, Essex
