Restored cast iron bath - Surface Doctor Cheltenham Glossy white re-enamelled bathtub in Cheltenham

Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? When you notice your bath is looking dull, sticky, or has chips, resurfacing the entire surface is recommended. Here at Surface Doctor Cheltenham, I can restore your bath for you so it looks brand new again without causing any disruption to your bathroom. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.

Bath re-enamelling, also known as bath resurfacing, is where a new surface is sprayed onto your bath so your bath looks brand new again. The process is carried out directly in your bathroom, so no disruption to your bath installation or plumbing. The special enamel I use hardens and cures in 24 hours, ensuring your bath is ready for use the following day. I’ll also take care of any chip or scratch repairs as part of the process, ensuring a smooth, flawless surface before the new enamel is sprayed. I offer resurfacing services for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. It only takes a day to do this procedure, which is much faster and cheaper than replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing services are backed by a 12-month guarantee for peace of mind.

Services we offer to customers in Cheltenham

I’m here to assist with all your bath resurfacing and re-enamelling requirements. With years of experience in hard surface repairs, I’ve resurfaced countless baths across Cheltenham. In addition to bath resurfacing, I also offer sink resurfacing, shower tray resurfacing, and repairs for chips, scratches, and other hard surface issues. If you're looking for a bath resurfacing expert, I’m the professional you need!

Bathtubs vary greatly in terms of shape, size, and material. Exposure to water and abrasive cleaners such as bleach or CIF can cause damage to the bath’s surface, making it porous and harder to clean. This occurs when the shiny top layer is worn off, leaving the bath porous and causing dirt to adhere more easily. Your bath might have multiple chips or scratches that need to be repaired. Bath resurfacing can transform your worn-out bath into a brand-new looking one. As I will resurface your bath in-situ - the first thing I will do is mask up your bathroom fully so it is protected from any overspray during the procedure. Masking the bathroom properly ensures no damage occurs during the resurfacing process. Re-enamelling your bath will take between 5 to 7 hours, and after that, it needs 24 hours to harden and fully cure before you can use it.

Why restoring your bath is a better option than replacement

It’s become second nature to replace old items with new ones, but with baths, the process of removal and replacement is far more complicated. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. Cast-iron baths are extremely heavy and must be broken apart for removal, which often results in damage to your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. Once removed, you’ll need to re-tile around the bath, refit taps and drains, and possibly replace flooring. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Metal baths are a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability for decades. When a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. 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.

The materials I use to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. A successful resurfacing process involves using an adhesive bonder to securely attach the new surface to the bath. The specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.

All resurfacing is done directly in your bathroom, so you won’t have to remove your bath and deal with the hassle of transport and reinstallation. By working in-situ, I minimize disruption to you—only needing one day of work in your bathroom before I’m done. You may have heard of Vitreous enamel - this is a specialised procedure where the bath is coated in a powdered glass material and then this is fused onto the surface of your bath in a large kiln at very high temperatures. This service could never be offered in-situ due to the extreme heat involved and I don't know of many companies that are able to offer this any more for baths.

If your bath is badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. There are no extra charges for this step; it’s all part of the resurfacing process. 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 Cheltenham.

The Restoration Process, Step by Step:

1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.

2. The next step is to sand off the bath’s top surface, exposing the metal for resurfacing.

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. Next, I will apply a fresh enamel surface to your bath.

6. I will proceed to buff the surface, giving it a glossy, smooth finish.

7. Now wait 24 hours before using your bath again and it will look brand new!

How much time does the process take?

Long-lasting bath enamel repair Cheltenham

The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 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. It’s essential to protect surrounding surfaces, as overspray could cause damage. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. If your bath has damage, this extra step can take a bit longer than if no repairs are needed.

I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.

Resurfacing your bath saves you money, reduces waste, and is a time-efficient, environmentally friendly option. You won't be adding more wastage to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your bath. As part of the resurfacing process, I’ll take care of any chips, cracks, or scratches.

I use the highest quality materials available, so don't think you can get the same result as me by painting your bath yourself with something from your local DIY shop. I have been using the same materials for the last 10 years, so I know that they work every time and will produce a lasting result.

What is the expected longevity of a bath re-enamelling?

The newly resurfaced surface will stay durable and shiny for many years to come. I’ll show you the best cleaning techniques to maintain the shiny and smooth finish of your bath. Every job I do is backed by a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
