Are you looking for bath re-enamelling or resurfacing? When your bath is dull, sticky, or chipped, restoring it completely is the ideal fix. With Surface Doctor Ingatestone, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Call me today to find out how I can restore your bath.

With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. This high-quality enamel paint hardens in just 24 hours, so you can enjoy your bath again the very 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. I offer resurfacing services for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. The entire procedure takes just one day, making it a quicker and more affordable option than replacing your bath. I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.

What we deliver to our customers in Ingatestone

For all your bath resurfacing and re-enamelling needs, I'm here to help. I have resurfaced hundreds of baths throughout my career working in the hard surface repair industry in Ingatestone. In addition to bath resurfacing, I also offer sink resurfacing, shower tray resurfacing, and repairs for chips, scratches, and other hard surface issues. For expert bath resurfacing, I’m the right choice!

Bathtubs vary greatly in terms of shape, size, and material. With regular exposure to water and chemicals like bleach or CIF, the surface of your bath can deteriorate, causing dirt to stick more easily and making it harder to clean. 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. With bath resurfacing, you can enjoy a bath that looks and feels like new again. 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 resurfacing process will take 5-7 hours, followed by a 24-hour curing period before the bath can be used again.

Why restoring your bath is a better option than replacement

In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. With baths, it's actually not that easy to get rid of the old one. 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. 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. With acrylic baths, their lifespan is not as long as traditional metal baths but they are still able to be resurfaced to a great result. 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 only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. A successful resurfacing process involves using an adhesive bonder to securely attach the new surface to the bath. I have sourced a very specialised bonder which creates the most lasting results possible. 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. Since I work in-situ, the entire resurfacing process is completed in just one day, causing minimal disruption to your day-to-day life. 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 has significant chips or dents, I’ll handle the repairs to make sure the surface is even and smooth before the resurfacing process. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. I can resurface most baths, so contact me today to see if I can restore yours in Ingatestone.

Detailed Step-by-Step Restoration Guide:

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. Once the bonder is applied, I’ll proceed to fill any chips, cracks, or holes in the surface.

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

7. Allow 24 hours for the surface to cure before using your bath, and it will look brand new!

What is the time frame for completing the procedure?

On average, re-enamelling or resurfacing your bath will take 5-7 hours. A key part of the procedure is masking the bathroom to protect surfaces from overspray, which does take some time. 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.

I’ve been resurfacing baths for years, so I know exactly how to bring your bath back to life and make it look like new. Re-enamelling your bath will restore it to a like-new appearance and feel.

Opting for bath resurfacing over replacement saves both time and money, while being better for the environment. You won't be adding more wastage to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your bath. 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. 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.

How long does a re-enamelled bath last?

The restored surface of your bath will remain in excellent condition for many years. I’ll show you the best cleaning techniques to maintain the shiny and smooth finish of your bath. For your peace of mind, all of my work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
