Re-enamelled bath finish - Surface Doctor Eccles Before and after bath resurfacing in Eccles

Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? If your bath surface is dull, sticky, or has several chips, restoring the entire surface is the best solution. With Surface Doctor Eccles, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Get in touch now to see how I can help restore your bath.

With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly in your bathroom. I use a special enamel paint which hardens and fully cures within 24 hours so you can use your bath again the next day! As part of the re-enamelling process, I repair any chips or scratches to ensure a smooth finish when the new enamel is applied. Whether it's a cast-iron, metal, or acrylic bath, I can restore it to a like-new condition. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full replacement. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes with a 12-month guarantee.

I'm here to help with all of your bath re-enamelling and bath resurfacing needs. I have resurfaced hundreds of baths throughout my career working in the hard surface repair industry in Eccles. I’m also skilled in sink resurfacing, shower tray resurfacing, and repairing chips, scratches, and other surface imperfections. For top-quality bath resurfacing, I’m your go-to professional!

There are many shapes, sizes, and materials when it comes to bathtubs. Baths face constant exposure to water and harsh chemicals like bleach or CIF, which can cause the surface to become damaged, making dirt stick and be hard to remove. When the glossy finish is stripped, your bath becomes porous, which is why dirt tends to stick to it and is tough to clean. Your bath might have multiple chips or scratches that need to be repaired. With bath resurfacing, you can enjoy a bath that looks and feels like new again. Since I resurface your bath in-situ, the first step is to fully mask up your bathroom to protect it from overspray. Proper masking is vital to protect your bathroom from any unwanted damage. The process takes 5-7 hours to complete, after which the new enamel needs 24 hours to harden fully before your bath is ready for use.

Why you should restore your bath instead of replacing it

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. Removing an old bath isn’t as simple as it may seem. Cast-iron baths are so heavy that they have to be smashed to pieces before being carried out, which can lead to damage throughout your bathroom. While acrylic baths are much lighter and can be carried out more easily, it will still cause damage to the rest of your bathroom if you have it removed. Once removed, you’ll need to re-tile around the bath, refit taps and drains, and possibly replace flooring. Restoring your bath is the most eco-friendly choice, preventing the additional waste generated from removing and replacing it. Metal baths are often classic features of older homes and can last for many decades. When a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. Acrylic baths may not last as long as metal baths, but they can still be resurfaced to great effect. For individual repairs like chips and scratches, I color match the repair to your bath, but with re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a fresh white enamel to respray the entire surface.

For resurfacing your bath, I rely on high-quality, professional materials that are reserved for commercial use. It’s impossible to use ordinary white paint for resurfacing your bath; it requires specialized materials. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the original bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. I have been using my preferred materials for many years so I know that they work and create the highest standard of repairs.

I complete all resurfacing work in-situ, so there’s no need to remove and transport your bath for repair. This way there is minimal disruption to you as I will only need to be working in your bathroom for a day before I'm out of your hair again. You may be familiar with Vitreous enamel, a specialized process where powdered glass is fused to the bath’s surface in a high-temperature kiln. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.

If your bath is severely chipped or dented, I’ll repair these imperfections first to ensure a flawless surface for resurfacing. You won’t incur extra costs for this step—it’s included in the resurfacing service. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Eccles.

Step by Step Restoration Process:

1. I’ll carefully mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to protect them during the resurfacing process.

2. I will sand off the top surface of the bath to take it back to the metal.

3. I will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath.

4. Next, I will apply an additional layer of bonder over the surface.

5. Now it’s time to spray the new enamel surface onto your bath for a flawless finish.

6. I will then buff this down to make it super shiny.

7. Give it 24 hours to fully cure, and your bath will be as good as new!

How long does the procedure take?

The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 hours. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. This step is crucial to ensure the surrounding areas remain undamaged. Any chips or dents in your bath must be repaired first, as the new enamel surface won’t adhere properly if these aren’t fixed. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.

My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. Re-enamelling will give your bath a fresh, new look and feel, making it look like new again.

Resurfacing your bath saves you money, reduces waste, and is a time-efficient, environmentally friendly option. Choosing to repair and restore your bath means you're contributing less to landfill waste. I address all chip, crack, and scratch repairs as part of the bath resurfacing process.

I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate with DIY products from a local store. For over 10 years, I’ve trusted these materials to provide lasting, reliable results with every resurfacing job.

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.
