We offer bath crack repairs at a fraction of the cost of replacing your entire bath! Cracks in your bath can cause leaks and worsen, leaving your bath unusable until it is fixed. Quotes to rip out the whole bath and replace it, along with fixing the damage caused to the surrounding tiles and walls during this, will most likely be a costly and unplanned for expense. At Surface Doctor Wakefield, 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 most cases, the crack is superficial and can be repaired to a high standard. Occasionally, the crack will be structural, affecting the bath’s integrity or due to poor installation, in which case we don’t recommend repairing it, as the crack may reappear. Our experts are trained to evaluate the type of crack and determine whether it can be effectively repaired. When repair is an option, our technicians use an expert procedure to achieve a smooth, high-quality repair that you won’t notice. The repair process involves colour-matching the enamel paint to your bath’s exact shade, ensuring the repair is virtually undetectable. Achieving such a perfect repair requires precision and years of practice, something our technicians have mastered.

Replacing your bath can be time-consuming and expensive, plus it contributes more waste to the local landfill. By choosing to repair your bath with us, it will be fully usable within 24 hours! Repairing your bath is both an environmentally conscious and cost-effective decision, cutting down on wastage.

Colour Matching for Bath Crack Repairs

A key step in bath repairs is colour matching the enamel paint. Since baths come in different shades of white, pre-made paint will never match your bath's colour exactly. Our technician custom creates the enamel paint on-site to match your bath’s exact shade of white, ensuring a perfect colour match. The technician uses specialized tinters to create the exact shade of white needed for your bath.

DIY repair kits often provide limited white shades, but these won’t match the exact white of your bath. There are many different shades of white for baths, sinks, shower trays, and tiles, and the original white may change with age and use.

Our technician customizes the enamel colour on-site to ensure the repair matches your bath perfectly. This is a precise skill which takes years of practice to get right. Creating the enamel colour on-site ensures a perfect match to the exact shade of white of your bath or shower tray. Thanks to years of expertise in colour matching, our technicians will make sure your bath is well taken care of.

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 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. The technician will handle all these steps before applying the colour-matched new enamel to ensure a perfect result. 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. The crack will be inspected by our technician to assess whether it is easily repairable or structural. If it's structural damage, we wouldn't recommend repairing it, so if you choose to go ahead with a repair we won't offer a warranty for this.

2. The technician will clean the surface and then strengthen the crack from the underside to ensure the bath remains watertight.

3. We’ll fill the crack and smooth the surface so that it feels as if the crack never existed.

4. Our technician will apply a specialised bonder to the repair in preparation for the following 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. Allow your bath to set for 24 hours before using it to ensure the repair fully cures.

7. Relax and use your bath like normal, no need for costly replacement!

What is the duration of a bath crack repair?

Cracked bathtub restoration in Wakefield

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!

At Surface Doctor, we aim for top-quality repairs and excellent service, ensuring you're happy with your repair. The majority of our repairs won’t be visible during normal 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.

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 issue with DIY repair kits is that the materials are of much lower quality than the professional-grade materials we use, and they 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. If DIY repair kits worked as well as claimed, we wouldn’t still 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.

“I had a huge crack in my bath and was stressing about finding someone to replace it. A friend recommended Surface Doctor London for repairs instead, and I’m so glad they did. The technician did an incredible job and we were able to use the bath again the very next day. I’m so relieved we didn’t have to replace the whole bath. Thanks for the fast service and amazing repair!”

“After finding a crack in the bath at one of my BTL properties, I noticed it had led to leaks and water damage underneath. Surface Doctor was able to repair the crack and seal it, making it watertight and stopping the leaks! It saved me the headache of redoing the whole bathroom. I’ll always call Surface Doctor for any future repairs.”
