Re-enamelled bath finish - Surface Doctor Lichfield Bathroom transformation after bath re-enamelling in Lichfield

Does your bath need resurfacing or re-enamelling? If your bath looks worn, sticky, or chipped, a full restoration is the best approach. At Surface Doctor Lichfield, 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.

Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. You won’t have to worry about altering your bath installation as the process is done in your bathroom. The special enamel I use hardens and cures in 24 hours, ensuring your bath is ready for use the following day. During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. I can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also acrylic baths. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full replacement. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Our offerings for customers in Lichfield

For all your bath resurfacing and re-enamelling needs, I'm here to help. Over the years, I’ve resurfaced hundreds of baths while working in the hard surface repair industry in Lichfield. I’m also skilled in sink resurfacing, shower tray resurfacing, and repairing chips, scratches, and other surface imperfections. For expert bath resurfacing, I’m the right choice!

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. The top shiny layer wears away, leaving the bath porous and allowing dirt to stick to it more effectively. 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. The first thing I do is fully mask your bathroom to protect it from overspray while resurfacing your bath in-situ. This protective step ensures your bathroom remains safe during the resurfacing procedure. It takes around 5-7 hours to re-enamel your bath, and after that, you must leave it for 24 hours for the surface to cure completely.

Why restoring your bath is a better option 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. 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. Although acrylic baths are easier to remove, the process still causes damage to surrounding areas in 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. 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. Resurfacing is a simple and effective solution for worn, chipped, or scratched metal baths, making them look new and strong again. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. When fixing chips and scratches, I match the color to your bath’s surface, but for re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a new white enamel finish.

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. A successful resurfacing process involves using an adhesive bonder to securely attach the new surface to the bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.

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. I complete all resurfacing in just one day in your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption for you. You may be familiar with Vitreous enamel, a specialized process where powdered glass is fused to the bath’s surface in a high-temperature kiln. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.

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. There are no extra charges for this step; it’s all part of the resurfacing process. I can resurface most baths, so contact me today to see if I can restore yours in Lichfield.

Our 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 will sand off the top surface of the bath to take 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. I will then apply another layer of bonder over this.

5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto 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!

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 is a very important part of the procedure. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. If there’s damage to repair, it can extend the process slightly compared to a bath without damage.

My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. 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. As part of the resurfacing process, I’ll take care of any chips, cracks, or scratches.

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’ve been working with these materials for over 10 years, ensuring consistent and durable outcomes every time.

How long will a bath re-enamelling last?

The restored surface of your bath will remain in excellent condition for many years. I’ll provide guidance on how to clean the surface, keeping it as shiny and smooth as possible. Every job I do is backed by a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
