Repairing cracks in your bath is much more affordable than replacing the whole bath! A crack in your bath can prevent you from using it due to leaks or the risk of the crack spreading. 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 Swanston, 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!
With years of experience, our technicians are skilled in determining whether a cracked bath can be repaired or needs to be replaced. Most cracks are merely superficial and can be repaired to look like new. 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 technicians are adept at identifying the type of crack and deciding the best course of action for your bath. 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. 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. This is a very precise skill and takes many years of practice and experience to perfect - which luckily all our technicians have!
1. Our technician will examine the crack to identify whether it's repairable or if it’s a structural issue. In cases of structural damage, we’ll advise not repairing it, and a warranty won’t be offered if you choose to proceed.
2. Next, the technician will clean the area and reinforce the crack from underneath the bath to ensure 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. 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. Leave your bath for 24 hours before using it so the repair can fully cure and set. 7. Use your bath like normal and relax knowing you don't have to rip it out and replace it!
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.
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’re often asked why to choose us over a DIY repair kit, and we always say try it, but reach out to us 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!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.
