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. 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 Wivenhoe, we specialize in fast, affordable bath crack repairs without replacing the entire bath. Call today for a free, no-obligation quote!

Our technicians have years of expertise in cracked bath repairs, knowing when damage can be repaired or when replacement is the better option. Most cracks are merely superficial and can be repaired to look like new. 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 technicians are adept at identifying the type of crack and deciding the best course of action for your bath. Our technicians use a specialized procedure to achieve a repair of the highest quality, making it undetectable. The repair process involves colour-matching the enamel paint to your bath’s exact shade, ensuring the repair is virtually undetectable. This skill requires years of practice and experience, which our technicians have mastered.

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 custom creates the enamel paint on-site to match your bath’s exact shade of white, ensuring a perfect colour match. They do this using specialised tinters.

Most DIY repair kits only offer a couple of white shades, which won’t perfectly match your bath’s original colour. Baths, shower trays, sinks, and white tiles come in so many different shades of white, and the original shade of white could be affected by the age of your bath, and the usage it has had.

To achieve a seamless repair, our technician will mix a new enamel colour on the day of the repair. This precise colour matching process takes years of practice to perfect. We mix your new enamel colour on the day to ensure the colour matches your bath or shower tray’s exact white shade. 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. To guarantee a watertight repair, the crack will be supported from below, filled, and sealed before we apply the new enamel. So our technician will do all of these steps before spraying on the colour-matched new enamel to your bath. No steps will be skipped, ensuring a long-lasting repair that’s as durable as the rest of your bath.

Full Step By Step Procedure:

1. Our technician will assess the crack to determine if it’s easily 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. The technician will clean the damaged area and reinforce the crack from below the bath to make it watertight.

3. The next step is to fill in the crack and smooth it out so you can't feel it anymore.

4. The technician will then apply our custom bonder to the repair to get it ready for the next step.

5. The technician will colour match a new enamel paint to your bath’s exact shade of white, ensuring it blends perfectly. It will then be sprayed onto the repair using a fine spray gun.

6. For the repair to fully cure and set, leave your bath unused for 24 hours.

7. Feel at ease using your bath again, with no need to rip it out and replace it!

How long will it take to repair a crack in my bath?

Cracked bathtub restoration in Wivenhoe

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!

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.

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. 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!

What’s the expected duration 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.

"I had an awful crack on my bath and was so worried trying to find a tradesman to replace it for me. My friend suggested Surface Doctor London to repair it instead and I'm so relieved your technician was able to do such a fantastic repair on my bath. We could use the bath again the next day and it has been such a relief to not have to get the whole bath replaced. Really grateful for your fast service and repairing my bath!"
