Instead of replacing your bath, we can repair cracks at a much lower cost! When you notice a crack in your bath, it’s a big inconvenience, as it may leak or get worse over time. 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 South-Shields, we specialize in fast, affordable bath crack repairs without replacing the entire bath. Call today 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 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! 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 is a very precise skill and takes many years of practice and experience to perfect - which luckily all our technicians have!
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. The technician will then clean the area and reinforce the crack from the underside of the bath to make sure it's watertight. 3. The crack will be filled in and smoothed out so that it’s no longer noticeable. 4. Next, the technician will apply a specialised bonder to the repair, preparing it for the next stage. 5. The technician will match a new enamel paint to your bath’s exact white shade for a seamless blend, and it will 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!
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 strive for the best quality repairs and exceptional customer service, making sure you are fully satisfied. Most repairs will blend seamlessly with regular use 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 repair kits use subpar materials compared to the professional-grade materials we use, and their results 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 DIY kits worked properly, we wouldn’t have a business.What is the lifespan of a bath crack repair?
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.
