Instead of replacing your bath, we can repair cracks at a much lower cost! Cracks in your bath can cause leaks and worsen, leaving your bath unusable until it is fixed. Quotes for ripping out and replacing the bath, plus fixing the surrounding tiles and walls, are typically a high, unplanned expense. At Surface Doctor Sunderland, we can repair the crack in your bath quickly without needing to replace the whole bath. Call us now for a no-obligation free quote!

Our technicians have extensive experience repairing cracked baths, and they can quickly assess whether the damage can be repaired or if the bath needs to be replaced. Most times the crack is just superficial and can be repaired to a high standard. When the crack is structural, affecting the bath's integrity or caused by poor installation, it’s best not to repair it as the crack may reoccur. Our technicians are experts at assessing the damage to determine what type of crack your bath has. If the bath is repairable, our technicians follow a precise process to deliver a top-tier repair that seamlessly matches the rest of the bath. To ensure the repair looks flawless, our technicians will match the enamel paint to your bath’s exact colour on-site. This is a very precise skill and takes many years of practice and experience to perfect - which luckily all our technicians have!

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

Colour Matching for Bath Crack Repairs

One of the most essential steps in bath repairs is achieving a perfect colour match for the enamel paint. All baths vary in their shade of white, so pre-made paint won’t work. 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.

Most DIY repair kits only offer a couple of white shades, which won’t perfectly match your bath’s original colour. Baths, shower trays, sinks, and white tiles come in so many different shades of white, and the original shade of white could be affected by the age of your bath, and the usage it has had.

On the day of the repair, our technician will match a new enamel colour to your bath to ensure the repair blends perfectly. Creating a flawless colour match is a skill that requires years of experience. We create the enamel colour on the day to guarantee it matches the exact shade of white of your bath or shower tray. Our technicians have extensive experience in colour matching, so your bath is in skilled hands.

At Surface Doctor, we only use the highest quality, professional-grade materials, including our special adhesive bonder that ensures the repair adheres perfectly to your bath's surface. The crack will most likely need to be supported from underneath and filled in and sealed to make sure the bath is watertight before the new enamel is sprayed on top. 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.

Detailed Step-by-Step Process:

1. The technician will evaluate the crack to determine whether it can be easily repaired or if it’s 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. The technician will then apply our custom bonder to the repair to get it ready for the next step.

5. The technician will colour match a new enamel paint to your bath’s exact shade of white, ensuring it blends perfectly. It will then be sprayed onto the repair using a fine spray gun.

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

7. Feel at ease using your bath again, with no need to rip it out and replace it!

How much time does a bath crack repair take?

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!

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.

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. 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 DIY kits worked properly, we wouldn’t have a 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.
