We can repair cracks in your bath at a fraction of the price of replacing your bath! A crack in your bath can prevent you from using it due to leaks or the risk of the crack spreading. Removing and replacing your entire bath, including fixing the damage to tiles and walls, can quickly turn into a costly, unexpected bill. Surface Doctor Thorne can fix the crack in your bath efficiently, saving you the hassle and cost of full replacement. Contact us now for a free, no-obligation quote!

All of our expert technicians are highly experienced in bath crack repairs and can assess whether the crack is repairable or if replacement is necessary. Often, the crack is cosmetic and can be fixed to an excellent 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 adept at identifying the type of crack and deciding the best course of action for your bath. When repairs are possible, our technicians follow a specialized process to ensure a flawless repair that blends seamlessly into 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!

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 will create your very own enamel paint that matches the shade of white of your bath on the day to get a true colour match. The technician uses specialized tinters to create the exact shade of white needed for your bath.

Many DIY repair kits offer only one or two shades of white paint, but they won't match your bath’s exact white shade. The white of your bath, shower tray, sink, or tiles can differ depending on age and use, as there are numerous shades of white.

Our technician will create your own new enamel colour on the day, to ensure that the repair blends in as seamlessly as possible. 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 many years of experience colour matching in this way so your bath will be in capable hands with us.

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. The crack will require support from underneath, filling, and sealing to ensure the bath remains watertight 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.

Complete Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Our technician will assess the crack to determine if it’s easily repairable or if it’s a structural issue. 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 involves filling in the crack and smoothing it out so it’s perfectly smooth to the touch.

4. Then the technician will apply our specialised bonder to the repair in preparation for the next step.

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. It’s important to leave your bath for 24 hours to allow the repair to fully cure and set.

7. Use your bath like normal and relax knowing you don't have to rip it out and replace it!

How much time does a bath crack repair take?

Affordable bath crack repair services in Thorne

Depending on the size and type of crack, the repair will take 1-2 hours to half a day. This is far quicker than the hassle of 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 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.

Many customers ask why they should choose us instead of using a cheap DIY repair kit, and we tell them to give it a try but call us when it doesn’t work. 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. The problem with DIY repair kits is that they only give one or two shades of white, making it nearly impossible to achieve a true colour match. Simply put - if the DIY repair kits worked so well, we would no longer be in business!

What is the lifespan of a bath crack repair?

For most repairs, the results will last as long as your bath, but in cases of extensive cracks or structural damage, we cannot offer a guarantee due to the uncertainty of how long the bath will remain intact.

Below are some reviews from our satisfied customers

“I had a major crack in my bath and didn’t want to deal with replacing it. A friend recommended Surface Doctor London, and I’m so happy they did! The technician did a great job repairing it, and we were able to use the bath again the very next day. I’m so relieved we didn’t have to replace the entire bath. Very grateful for the speedy repair!”
TH - Thorne,South-Yorkshire
“After my tenants moved out, I discovered a crack in the bath at one of my BTL properties that had caused leaking and water damage to the floor. Surface Doctor quickly repaired the crack, sealed it, and now the bath is watertight with no more leaks! It saved me from having to completely redo the bathroom. I’ll definitely use Surface Doctor for repairs from now on.”
SG - Thorne, South-Yorkshire
“At first, I wasn’t sure if my bath was repairable since the crack seemed pretty bad. But after sending pictures, I got a very affordable quote and decided to move forward. The technician was friendly and explained the repair process. The bath is still holding up great! We’re so glad we went with you for the repair.”
GD - Thorne,South-Yorkshire
"Thank you for repairing the crack in our bath - it was such an eyesore and would always annoy me when I walked into the bathroom. After your repair I can't tell there was ever any damage on the bath in the first place and it looks like new again."
