Glossy white re-enamelled bathtub in Folkestone Damaged bath enamel repaired by Surface Doctor Folkestone

Is your bath showing signs of wear and tear, needing re-enamelling or resurfacing? If your bath surface is dull, sticky, or has several chips, restoring the entire surface is the best solution. Here at Surface Doctor Folkestone, 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.

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. You won’t have to worry about altering your bath installation as the process is done 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! 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 quick and cost-effective procedure only takes a day, saving you both time and money compared to a full bath replacement. I stand behind my bath resurfacing work with a 12-month guarantee.

What we deliver to our customers in Folkestone

I'm here to help with all of your bath re-enamelling and bath resurfacing needs. In my career in the hard surface repair industry in Folkestone, I’ve worked on hundreds of bath resurfacing projects. I’m also skilled in sink resurfacing, shower tray resurfacing, and repairing chips, scratches, and other surface imperfections. 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. The top shiny layer wears away, leaving the bath porous and allowing dirt to stick to it more effectively. 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. 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. Proper masking is vital to protect your bathroom from any unwanted damage. It will take me 5-7 hours to re-enamel your bath for you, and then you'll have to leave it for 24 hours before using it again so the new surface can harden and fully cure.

The benefits of restoring your bath over replacing it

In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. It’s not easy to dispose of an old bath, especially depending on its material. 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. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. 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 a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability for decades. A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. 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.

I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the original bath. I have sourced a very specialised bonder which creates the most lasting results possible. 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 specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at high temperatures in a 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. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Folkestone.

Step by Step Restoration Process:

1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.

2. I’ll sand down the top surface of your bath, stripping 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. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface.

5. Now I will spray on the new enamel surface to your bath.

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

7. After waiting 24 hours, your bath will be ready to use and look as good as new!

How long does the procedure take?

It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. Masking and protection are vital to ensure no damage occurs to your bathroom. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.

With years of experience in bath resurfacing, I can restore your bath to its original condition. 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.

Any chips, cracks, or scratches will be repaired during the resurfacing process to ensure a flawless result.

I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate with DIY products from a local store. I’ve been working with these materials for over 10 years, ensuring consistent and durable outcomes every time.
