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. Surface Doctor Reading can fix the crack in your bath efficiently, saving you the hassle and cost of full replacement. Get in touch with us now for a free quote, with no obligation!
All of our technicians have many years of experience repairing cracked baths and they know how to spot when the damage is easily repairable, or if it does unfortunately need to be replaced. In many instances, the crack is superficial and can be repaired seamlessly. 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. When repairs are possible, our technicians follow a specialized process to ensure a flawless repair that blends seamlessly into the bath. 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. This skill requires years of practice and experience, which our technicians have mastered.
1. The crack will be inspected by our technician to assess whether it is easily repairable or structural. If it’s found to be structural damage, we won’t recommend repairing it and will not offer a warranty on any repair.
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. To prepare for the next step, the technician will apply our specially formulated bonder to the repair. 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 as you normally would and relax, without the hassle of replacement!
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!
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.
Using only the best commercial-grade materials, we ensure your repair is of the highest quality. Our technicians colour match your bath crack repair by eye, guaranteeing a perfect result. When you see your finished repair, you'll be impressed by how well it blends in. 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. 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 does a bath crack repair last?
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.
