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 for ripping out and replacing the bath, plus fixing the surrounding tiles and walls, are typically a high, unplanned expense. Surface Doctor South-Ockendon can fix the crack in your bath efficiently, saving you the hassle and cost of full replacement. Call us now for a no-obligation free 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 cracks are merely superficial and can be repaired to look like new. If the crack is structural, meaning it affects the bath's framework or is due to installation issues, we don't recommend repairs since the crack could come back. Our experts are trained to evaluate the type of crack and determine whether it can be effectively repaired. 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! Our technicians will match the enamel paint to your bath’s exact colour to make sure the repair is seamless. This is a very precise skill and takes many years of practice and experience to perfect - which luckily all our technicians have!

Colour Matching for Bath Crack Repairs

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. Our technician custom creates the enamel paint on-site to match your bath’s exact shade of white, ensuring a perfect colour match. They do this using specialised tinters.

Some DIY repair kits will only provide one or two shades of white paint to use on your bath, but it simply won't match the white of your bath. The white of your bath, shower tray, sink, or tiles can differ depending on age and use, as there are numerous shades of white.

Our technician will create your own new enamel colour on the day, to ensure that the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible. Achieving the perfect colour match is a precise skill that takes years of practice. 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. With many years of experience in colour matching, our technicians ensure your bath is in expert hands.

We use only the best professional-grade materials, like our specialized adhesive bonder, to ensure your repair sticks firmly to the bath surface. Most cracks will need to be supported from beneath, filled, and sealed to make the bath watertight before the new enamel is applied. All these steps will be completed by our technician before the final layer of colour-matched enamel is sprayed onto 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. 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 is to fill in the crack and smooth it out so you can't feel it anymore.

4. Next, the technician will apply a specialised bonder to the repair, preparing it for the next stage.

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. It’s important to leave your bath for 24 hours to allow the repair to fully cure and set.

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

What’s the time frame for completing a bath crack repair?

Cracked bathtub restoration in South-Ockendon

The repair process usually takes between 1-2 hours to half a day, depending on whether the crack is structural. It’s a much quicker option than removing and replacing your bath!

Our focus is on delivering the highest standard of repairs and providing excellent customer service, so you’re fully satisfied. Most of our repairs will be unnoticeable during regular 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.

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. DIY kits use inferior materials compared to the professional-grade materials we provide, and they simply don’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. If DIY repair kits were as effective as advertised, we wouldn’t be here offering professional repairs!

How durable is a bath crack repair?

Most repairs will last for the duration of your bath. But sometimes with an extensive crack or structural damage we won't be able to put a guarantee on your repair as it will be hard to judge how long the bath will last.

Below are some reviews from our satisfied customers

"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!"

“After my tenants moved out, I discovered a crack in the bath at one of my BTL properties that had caused leaking and water damage to the floor. Surface Doctor quickly repaired the crack, sealed it, and now the bath is watertight with no more leaks! It saved me from having to completely redo the bathroom. I’ll definitely use Surface Doctor for repairs from now on.”
