Repairing cracks in your bath is much more affordable than replacing the whole bath! 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. Instead of replacing your whole bath, Surface Doctor Stenhouse can repair the crack quickly and efficiently. Call today for a free, no-obligation quote!

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. Occasionally, the crack will be structural, affecting the bath’s integrity or due to poor installation, in which case we don’t recommend repairing it, as the crack may reappear. Our technicians are experts at assessing the damage to determine what type of crack your bath has. Our technicians use a specialized procedure to achieve a repair of the highest quality, making it undetectable. On the day of the repair, they will colour match new enamel paint to your bath to ensure the repair blends perfectly with the original surface. Our technicians have perfected this precise skill after years of experience and practice.

Expert 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. To guarantee a true colour match, our technician will prepare a custom enamel paint specifically for your bath's unique white tone. Using specialised tinters, we ensure the enamel paint perfectly matches your bath's original colour.

DIY repair kits often provide limited white shades, but these won’t match the exact white of your bath. 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.

On the day of the repair, our technician will match a new enamel colour to your bath to ensure the repair blends perfectly. This is a precise skill which takes years of practice to get right. We mix your new enamel colour on the day to ensure the colour matches your bath or shower tray’s exact white shade. Thanks to years of expertise in colour matching, our technicians will make sure your bath is well taken care of.

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. To guarantee a watertight repair, the crack will be supported from below, filled, and sealed before we apply the new enamel. Our technician will follow these essential steps before applying the colour-matched enamel to your bath. No steps will be skipped, ensuring a long-lasting repair that’s as durable as the rest of your bath.

Our Full Step-by-Step Procedure:

1. The crack will be inspected by our technician to assess whether it is easily repairable or structural. For structural damage, we advise against repairing it, and if you proceed with a repair, we cannot provide a warranty.

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 new enamel paint will be colour matched to the exact shade of white of your bath to make sure that it blends in seamlessly. This will be sprayed on to the repair using a fine spray gun.

6. For the repair to fully cure and set, leave your bath unused for 24 hours.

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

How much time does a bath crack repair take?

Homeowner bath crack repair solution in Stenhouse

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 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.

Some of our customers have asked why should they choose us over using a cheap DIY repair kit themselves, and we always say they're welcome to give it a go, but give us a call when it doesn't work out. The materials in DIY repair kits are of lower quality than the professional materials we use, meaning the repairs won’t last as long. Achieving a true colour match with a DIY repair kit is nearly impossible, as they only offer one or two shades of white for repairs. Simply put - if the DIY repair kits worked so well, we would no longer be in business!

What’s the expected duration of a bath crack repair?

Typically, our repairs last for the entire lifespan of your bath. However, with severe cracks or structural damage, we can’t guarantee the repair as it’s hard to predict the bath’s longevity.

“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."
GM - Stenhouse, City-of-Edinburgh
