The Bath Crack Repair Process
A bath crack repair involves a multistep process designed to restore bathtubs with visible cracks to an original condition. Our approach will vary depending on the design of the bathtub (whether it is in an acrylic, fiberglass or enamel material) but the underlying principles we use always remain consistent. It is a key benefit that we explain exactly what we do to keep our clients informed.
A typical process for a bathroom crack repair is as follows:
Assessment & Preparation
The first step of a bath crack repair is to assess the extent and severity of the damage. The length, depth and location determine our approach. Once the assessment is complete, we clean around the crack to remove scum, grime and coatings to guarantee the best possible adhesion of the repair materials.
Surface Roughening & Crack Opening
Using fine-grit sandpaper or a rotary tool, the surface around the bath crack is roughened to create a bonding surface. For deeper bath crack repairs, a crack is carefully opened or "chamfered". This will allow the repair materials to penetrate more deeply, and bond more effectively, so that the finish will last.
Filling & Bonding
The crack is filled with an appropriate filler. For acrylic and fiberglass tubs, an epoxy or polyester resin is used. For enamels, high-strength epoxy compound is typically applied. The filler is smoothed to ensure the surface is level with the tub surface. It then cures over a set time to enable adhesion and strength.
Sanding & Smoothing
Once the filler has fully cured, the surface is sanded again to ensure smooth transition between the area of a bath crack repair and original surface. This step is critical for achieving a seamless finish that blends with the rest of the tub. It is important that bathroom crack repairs never look out of place.
Painting & Sealing
After sanding, a colour-matched enamel or acrylic coating is applied to the bath crack repair area to restore the original appearance. Coatings are then allowed to dry completely before a protective sealant is applied so that we can ensure durability, resistance to moisture and other environmental factors.
Final Inspection and Quality Check
The final step of a bathroom crack repair involves an inspection to ensure the repair is seamless and structurally sound. Any imperfections are corrected, and the tub is cleaned and polished to restore its shine. At this point, the bath is ready for use, with our repairs expected to last for years with the right care.
