Trusted 5★ bath repair service in Eccles Damaged bath enamel repaired by Surface Doctor Eccles

Is your bath showing signs of wear and tear, needing re-enamelling or resurfacing? When your bath is dull, sticky, or chipped, restoring it completely is the ideal fix. Surface Doctor Eccles provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. Get in touch now to see how I can help restore your bath.

Bath resurfacing, or re-enamelling, is the process of spraying a new enamel surface onto your bath, giving it a fresh look. 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! When I re-enamel a bath, as part of the process I will fill in any chip repairs, scratch repairs, etc., that need to be done so that when the new enamel is sprayed on, the surface will be smooth again. Whether it's a cast-iron, metal, or acrylic bath, I can restore it to a like-new condition. It only takes a day to do this procedure, which is much faster and cheaper than replacing your bath. I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.

Our offerings for customers in Eccles

I’m here to assist with all your bath resurfacing and re-enamelling requirements. Throughout my career in Eccles, I’ve restored and resurfaced hundreds of baths, providing quality results. I can also do sink resurfacing and shower tray resurfacing, as well as chip repairs, scratch repairs and other hard surface repairs. For expert bath resurfacing, I’m the right choice!

Bathtubs come in a wide range of materials, sizes, and designs. As they are constantly exposed to water and sometimes abrasive cleaning chemicals like bleach and cif, the surface of the bath can be damaged and you'll notice that dirt will stick to it and be very hard to clean off. When the glossy finish is stripped, your bath becomes porous, which is why dirt tends to stick to it and is tough to clean. If your bath has chips or scratches, resurfacing is the best solution to treat them. Bath resurfacing restores your bath to its original condition, making it look and feel brand new. I resurface your bath on-site, and the first thing I’ll do is mask your bathroom to prevent any overspray from causing damage. 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

In today’s consumer culture, we often choose to replace over repair, but when it comes to baths, it’s not so easy. With baths, it's actually not that easy to get rid of the old one. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. Removing your bath means redoing the tiling, refitting taps, and possibly replacing flooring, making it a costly and disruptive process. When you choose to restore your bath you are choosing the most environmentally friendly option as you won't be contributing to the vast amount of construction waste that gets produced on a daily basis. Metal baths are usually original features of older houses, and they will last for 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 might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive results. 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.

The materials I use to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your original 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. 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. Vitreous enamel is a unique process where powdered glass is fused to the surface of the bath at extremely high temperatures in a kiln. Due to the high temperatures involved, vitreous enamel can’t be performed in-situ, and it’s becoming increasingly rare among companies.

If your bath is severely chipped or dented, I’ll repair these imperfections first to ensure a flawless surface for resurfacing. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Eccles.

The Restoration Process, Step by Step:

1. To prepare for the procedure, I will thoroughly mask the bathroom and all areas around your bath.

2. Step 2: I will carefully sand off the top layer of the bath, revealing the underlying metal surface.

3. I then will apply a layer of our special bonder and then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc.

4. After that, I will apply another layer of bonder on top.

5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto your bath.

6. After spraying, I’ll buff the enamel to achieve a flawless shine.

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

How much time does the process take?

Glossy white re-enamelled bathtub in Eccles

The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 hours. A significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. This important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. If your bath has lots of chips and dents then these also have to be filled in and repaired before the new enamel surface is sprayed on as you won't get a good result if the bath isn't repaired first. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.

I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! Re-enamelling your bath will restore it to a like-new appearance and feel.

Resurfacing your bath saves you money, reduces waste, and is a time-efficient, environmentally friendly option. Restoring your bath helps minimize environmental impact by preventing additional waste in landfills. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.

Don’t expect to achieve the same outcome by using DIY materials from your local shop; I use only the best materials for the job. For over 10 years, I’ve trusted these materials to provide lasting, reliable results with every resurfacing job.

What’s the lifespan of a bath re-enamelling?

After resurfacing, your bath will have a lasting, smooth, and shiny finish for years. I’ll show you the best cleaning techniques to maintain the shiny and smooth finish of your bath. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all of my work, ensuring your satisfaction.
