Professional bath chip repair and re-enamelling Kettering High-gloss re-enamelled bath finish Kettering

Do you need bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing? If your bath surface is dull, sticky, or has several chips, restoring the entire surface is the best solution. At Surface Doctor Kettering, we offer professional bath restoration to make your bath look brand new again, with no disruption to your bathroom. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.

With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. You won’t have to worry about altering your bath installation as the process is done in your bathroom. The enamel I apply fully cures within 24 hours, so your bath will be ready to use by 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. I resurface all types of baths including 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 Kettering

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 Kettering. I can also do sink resurfacing and shower tray resurfacing, as well as chip repairs, scratch repairs and other hard surface repairs. 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. Due to constant exposure to water and harsh cleaning chemicals like bleach and CIF, bathtubs can suffer surface damage, causing dirt to cling and become difficult to remove. This occurs when the shiny top layer is worn off, leaving the bath porous and causing dirt to adhere more easily. Sometimes you just have a number of chips and scratches in your bath which need to be treated. Bath resurfacing will ensure that your bath looks and feels brand new again. Before starting the bath resurfacing, I ensure your bathroom is completely masked to avoid any overspray while working in-situ. Masking the bathroom properly ensures no damage occurs during the resurfacing process. Re-enamelling your bath will take between 5 to 7 hours, and after that, it needs 24 hours to harden and fully cure before you can use it.

Why bath restoration is a smarter choice than replacement

In this day and age, it is so easy to buy something new and throw away the old one rather than trying to have it repaired or restored. It’s not easy to dispose of an old bath, especially depending on its material. Cast-iron baths are extremely heavy and must be broken apart for removal, which often results in damage to your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter and easier to move, but removing them can still damage your bathroom. You'll have to re-do the tiling around the bath, have the taps and waste re-fitted, and potentially get new flooring done. Restoring your bath is the most eco-friendly choice, preventing the additional waste generated from removing and replacing it. Metal baths are a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability for decades. When a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. Though acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing restores them to a like-new condition. 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. Regular paint won’t do the job for bath resurfacing; the right materials are essential for success. A successful resurfacing process involves using an adhesive bonder to securely attach the new surface to the bath. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. For years, I’ve been using these proven materials, which consistently create the highest standard of bath repairs.

With my in-situ resurfacing service, you don’t need to remove or transport your bath—everything is done in your bathroom. 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 has significant chips or dents, I’ll handle the repairs to make sure the surface is even and smooth before the resurfacing process. Repairs to chips and dents are included in the resurfacing service with no additional cost. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Kettering.

How the Restoration Process Works, Step by Step:

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

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. The next step is to buff the surface, ensuring it has a smooth, shiny finish.

7. Now wait 24 hours before using your bath again and it will look brand new!

How long does the procedure take?

Bathroom transformation after bath re-enamelling in Kettering

Typically, re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath takes between 5 and 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. 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. This can sometimes make the process take a bit longer than if there was no damage to fill.

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. Choosing to repair and restore your bath means you're contributing less to landfill waste. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.

The materials I use are of the highest quality, which you won’t find at your local DIY store for DIY bath painting. I’ve been working with these materials for over 10 years, ensuring consistent and durable outcomes every time.

How long does a re-enamelled bath last?

After resurfacing, your bath will have a lasting, smooth, and shiny finish for years. To keep the surface looking great, I’ll share the best cleaning methods to preserve its shine and smoothness. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all of my work, ensuring your satisfaction.
