Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? When the surface of your bath looks dull, is sticky, or has multiple chips on it, the best thing to do is to restore the whole surface! Here at Surface Doctor Broxbourne, I can restore your bath for you so it looks brand new again without causing any disruption to your bathroom. Get in touch now to see how I can help restore your bath.
Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. This is all done in your bathroom so there is no messing with your bath installation or anything like that. The enamel I apply fully cures within 24 hours, so your bath will be ready to use by the next day. I take care of filling in chips, scratches, and other repairs so that the final surface is smooth and flawless once the enamel is applied. Whether it's a cast-iron, metal, or acrylic bath, I can restore it to a like-new condition. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. I stand behind my bath resurfacing work with a 12-month guarantee.
In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. Getting rid of an old bath is not as straightforward as many people think. Cast-iron baths weigh a ton and have to be smashed apart to be able to carry the pieces out of your house, and this obviously causes damage to the rest of your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. You'll have to re-do the tiling around the bath, have the taps and waste re-fitted, and potentially get new flooring done. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Many older homes feature metal baths that can last a lifetime with the right care. When the surface of metal baths gets worn, chipped, or scratched, resurfacing makes them look brand new again, restoring strength and beauty. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. With individual repairs, I match the paint to your bath’s surface, but when resurfacing or re-enamelling, I apply a brilliant white enamel to the whole surface.
I use commercial-grade materials to resurface your bath, which are not available to the general public. It’s impossible to use ordinary white paint for resurfacing your bath; it requires specialized materials. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your original bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. Having used my chosen materials for years, I’m confident they provide the best, most durable resurfacing results.
There’s no need to remove your bath or deal with complicated transport, as all of my resurfacing work is done in-situ. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. Vitreous enamel involves coating your bath in powdered glass and fusing it onto the surface using a kiln at high temperatures. Due to the extreme heat required, this service can’t be done in-situ, and few companies offer it these days.
If your bath has significant chips or dents, I’ll handle the repairs to make sure the surface is even and smooth before the resurfacing process. Repairs to chips and dents are included in the resurfacing service with no additional cost. There aren't many baths that I can't resurface, so give me a call today to find out if I can restore your bath for you in Broxbourne.
1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.
2. I will sand off the top surface of the bath to take it back to the metal. 3. Next, I will apply a layer of our unique bonder and fill in any chips, holes, cracks, or other imperfections. 4. Next, I will apply an additional layer of bonder over the surface. 5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto your bath. 6. The next step is to buff the surface, ensuring it has a smooth, shiny finish. 7. Now wait 24 hours before using your bath again and it will look brand new!
Typically, re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath takes between 5 and 7 hours. One of the steps that takes some time is masking up and protecting all the surfaces around your bath to make sure no overspray gets on anything. This step is crucial to ensure the surrounding areas remain undamaged. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
With years of experience in bath resurfacing, I can restore your bath to its original condition. Once your bath is re-enamelled, it will look and feel just like a new one.
Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly.

I use top-quality materials that guarantee superior results, unlike anything you can achieve with DIY products from a local store. For the last 10 years, I’ve been using the same high-quality materials that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.
