Shower and bath crack repair experts in South-Shields DIY vs. professional bath crack repair in South-Shields

We can fix cracks in your bath without the high cost of a full replacement! Finding a crack in your bath is a hassle, as it can lead to leaks and worsen over time, making your bath unusable. Quotes for ripping out and replacing the bath, plus fixing the surrounding tiles and walls, are typically a high, unplanned expense. Surface Doctor South-Shields can fix the crack in your bath efficiently, saving you the hassle and cost of full replacement. Call now for your 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. In many instances, the crack is superficial and can be repaired seamlessly. Sometimes the crack will be structural - meaning it is actually affecting the structure of the bath or it was improperly installed in the first place which will have caused it to crack - in these cases we don't recommend having it repaired as the crack may come back. Our experts are trained to evaluate the type of crack and determine whether it can be effectively repaired. Our technicians use a specialized procedure to achieve a repair of the highest quality, making it undetectable. To ensure the repair looks flawless, our technicians will match the enamel paint to your bath’s exact colour on-site. Our technicians have perfected this precise skill after years of experience and practice.

Repairing your bath is both an environmentally conscious and cost-effective decision, cutting down on wastage.

Precise 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. We use specialized tinters to create a custom enamel paint that matches your bath’s exact shade of white for a flawless repair. Using specialised tinters, we ensure the enamel paint perfectly matches your bath's original colour.

Most DIY repair kits only offer a couple of white shades, which won’t perfectly match your bath’s original colour. Baths, sinks, shower trays, and white tiles all come in various shades of white, with the original shade being affected by the age and wear of the bath.

To ensure the repair blends seamlessly, our technician will create a custom enamel colour on the day of the repair. This precise colour matching process takes years of practice to perfect. This is why we create the enamel colour on the day, to ensure it perfectly matches the exact white shade of your bath or shower tray. Thanks to years of expertise in colour matching, our technicians will make sure your bath is well taken care of.

To ensure a lasting repair, we use top-tier, professional-grade materials, such as our unique adhesive bonder that ensures a strong bond to your bath surface. To guarantee a watertight repair, the crack will be supported from below, filled, and sealed before we apply the new enamel. Before spraying the colour-matched enamel, our technician will complete all the necessary steps for a flawless repair. We don’t cut corners, so you can be confident that the repair will last as long as your bath’s original surface.

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

7. Use your bath like normal and relax knowing you don't have to rip it out and replace it!

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

Reliable bath crack repair specialists in South-Shields

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!

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.

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.

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. The materials in DIY repair kits are of lower quality than the professional materials we use, meaning the repairs won’t last as long. A true colour match is difficult to achieve with DIY kits, as they only provide one or two shades of white for 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?

Most of our repairs are long-lasting, but with significant cracks or structural damage, we cannot provide a guarantee since it’s difficult to assess the bath’s durability.

“I was really stressed about a crack in my bath, and my friend suggested Surface Doctor London. I’m so happy I listened! The technician did an outstanding job, and we were able to use the bath the very next day. It was such a relief not having to replace the whole bath. Thank you for your quick and efficient service!”

"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."
