Repairing cracks in your bath is much more affordable than replacing the whole bath! When you find a crack in your bath, it is such a hassle as you now can't use your bath due to it leaking or the crack potentially getting worse. Quotes for ripping out and replacing the bath, plus fixing the surrounding tiles and walls, are typically a high, unplanned expense. At Surface Doctor Thatcham, we can repair the crack in your bath quickly without needing to replace the whole bath. Get in touch with us now for a free quote, with no obligation!
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. 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. We specialize in assessing bath damage to determine whether the crack is repairable or structural. When repair is an option, our technicians use an expert procedure to achieve a smooth, high-quality repair that you won’t notice. 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 assess the crack to determine if it’s easily repairable or if it’s a structural issue. For structural damage, we advise against repairing it, and if you proceed with a repair, we cannot provide a warranty.
2. Next, the technician will clean the area and reinforce the crack from underneath the bath to ensure it's watertight. 3. Next, we’ll fill the crack and smooth it over to ensure it’s completely seamless. 4. Then the technician will apply our specialised bonder to the repair in preparation for the next step. 5. We’ll match the new enamel paint to the exact white of your bath to ensure a flawless finish, applying it with a fine spray gun. 6. Allow your bath to set for 24 hours before using it to ensure the repair fully cures. 7. Enjoy your bath as usual, knowing you won’t have to replace it!
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!
Our goal is to provide the highest quality repair and outstanding customer service, ensuring you're completely satisfied with the result. Most of our repairs won’t be noticeable with everyday 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. When customers ask why they should choose our services over a DIY repair kit, we suggest they try it out but contact us when it fails to deliver. The problem with the DIY repair kits is the quality of the materials they provide are totally substandard to the professional grade materials we use, and they won'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. If DIY repair kits worked as well as claimed, we wouldn’t still be in business!How durable is a bath crack repair?
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.
