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. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly in your bathroom. The enamel I apply fully cures within 24 hours, so your bath will be ready to use by the next 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.

What we offer our customers in Kent

I specialize in bath re-enamelling and resurfacing, offering top-quality service. With years of experience in hard surface repairs, I’ve resurfaced countless baths across Kent. I offer a full range of resurfacing services including sink and shower tray resurfacing, plus chip and scratch repairs. If you're looking for a bath resurfacing expert, I’m the professional you need!

Bathtubs come in all different shapes and sizes and materials. 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. When the shiny surface is worn down, the bath becomes porous, leading to dirt sticking to it and making cleaning difficult. 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. Before starting the bath resurfacing, I ensure your bathroom is completely masked to avoid any overspray while working in-situ. This is an important step to make sure no damage is caused to your bathroom. 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 bath restoration is a smarter choice than replacement

In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. Removing an old bath isn’t as simple as it may seem. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. Although acrylic baths are easier to remove, the process still causes damage to surrounding areas in your bathroom. After removal, redoing the tiling, reinstalling taps and drains, and potentially replacing the flooring are necessary. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Metal baths are usually original features of older houses, and they will last for decades! When their surface becomes dull and tired, chipped, scratched, etc, it is so easy to resurface them so they look brand new again and you'll have a perfect and strong bath in no time. Acrylic baths may not last as long as metal baths, but they can still be resurfaced to great effect. 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. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond the new surface to your 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.

All of my resurfacing work is done in-situ, so you will never have to remove your bath and transport it to me, then have it delivered back and installed again. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. Vitreous enamel is a specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at high temperatures in a kiln. Due to the extreme heat required, this service can’t be done in-situ, and few companies offer it these days.

When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. There are no extra charges for this step; it’s all part of the resurfacing process. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Kent.

Our Step-by-Step Restoration Process:

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

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

3. After applying our special bonder, I will fill in any holes, chips, or cracks that need attention.

4. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface.

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

6. Next, I’ll buff the surface to a high shine.

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?

Professional bath chip repair and re-enamelling Kent

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 important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. 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.

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. 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. Resurfacing your bath helps keep waste out of landfills, offering an eco-friendly alternative to replacement. I repair chips, cracks, and scratches as part of the resurfacing process, ensuring a smooth finish.

I use top-quality materials that guarantee superior results, unlike anything you can achieve with DIY products from a local store. 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 new surface of your bath will last for many years. I’ll show you the best cleaning techniques to maintain the shiny and smooth finish of your bath. Rest assured, all of my work is guaranteed for 12 months, offering you complete peace of mind.
