Professional Bath Crack Repair Services in Thornbury

Cracked bathtub restoration in Thornbury Long bathtub crack repair service in Thornbury

We can fix cracks in your bath without the high cost of a full replacement! Cracks in your bath can cause leaks and worsen, leaving your bath unusable until it is fixed. Replacing the entire bath, including repairing surrounding tiles and walls, can be a costly and unexpected expense. Instead of replacing your whole bath, Surface Doctor Thornbury can repair the crack quickly and efficiently. Call us now for a no-obligation free 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. 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. 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. Achieving such a perfect repair requires precision and years of practice, something our technicians have mastered.

Removing and replacing your bath will be time consuming and costly, along with adding more rubbish to your local landfill site.

Choosing to repair your bath helps save money and is more eco-friendly, creating less waste.

Bath Crack Repair with Perfect Colour Matching

One of the most important steps in repairing a bath is colour matching a new enamel paint for the repair. Believe it or not, all baths are varying shades of white, so a pre-made paint simply won't match the colour of your bath precisely. 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.

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.

Our technician will create your own new enamel colour on the day, to ensure that the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible. Matching the enamel colour perfectly requires a high level of skill and years of experience. 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. 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. 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. We don’t cut corners, so you can be confident that the repair will last as long as your bath’s original surface.

Complete Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Our technician will examine the crack to identify whether it's 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. After cleaning the area, the technician will reinforce the crack from underneath the bath to guarantee 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. A custom enamel paint will be colour matched to your bath’s exact white shade, ensuring the repair blends seamlessly. This will be applied using a fine spray gun.

6. Allow your bath to set for 24 hours before using it to ensure the repair fully cures.

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

How long does a bath crack repair take?

Residential bath crack fix company in Thornbury

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.

We use the best quality materials that are only available on a commercial basis and will never ever cut corners by using cheaper materials whilst carrying out your repair. Our technicians will carry out a bath crack repair that is colour matched to your bath by eye ensuring you get the best repair possible. When you see your completed repair, you'll be amazed by how good it is.

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. 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 the DIY repair kits worked so well, we would no longer 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.
