Trusted 5★ bath repair service in Newington Professional bath chip repair and re-enamelling Newington

Is your bath showing signs of wear and tear, needing re-enamelling or resurfacing? When the surface of your bath looks dull, is sticky, or has multiple chips on it, the best thing to do is to restore the whole surface! Surface Doctor Newington provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. 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. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly 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! During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. 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 offer our customers in Newington

For all your bath resurfacing and re-enamelling needs, I'm here to help. With years of experience in hard surface repairs, I’ve resurfaced countless baths across Newington. 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!

There are many shapes, sizes, and materials when it comes to bathtubs. 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. This happens when the top shiny layer has been removed so the bath becomes porous, hence the dirt sticking to it. 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. 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. 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.

Why bath restoration is a smarter choice than replacement

These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. Getting rid of an old bath is not as straightforward as many people think. 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. Removing your bath means redoing the tiling, refitting taps, and possibly replacing flooring, making it a costly and disruptive process. 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! Resurfacing is a simple and effective solution for worn, chipped, or scratched metal baths, making them look new and strong again. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive results. 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. To ensure proper resurfacing, I use an adhesive bonder that bonds the new surface firmly to the 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 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. 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. Due to the extreme heat required, this service can’t be done in-situ, and few companies offer it these days.

Before resurfacing, I will first fix any chips and dents to ensure the surface is flat and smooth. 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 Newington.

Step by Step Restoration Process:

1. I begin by masking up the bathroom and surrounding areas to prevent any damage during the procedure.

2. Next, I will sand the bath’s surface to remove the old finish and expose the metal underneath.

3. I will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath.

4. I will then apply another layer of bonder over this.

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

6. After spraying, I’ll buff the enamel to achieve a flawless shine.

7. You’ll need to wait 24 hours before using your bath, and it will be as good as new!

What’s the duration of the procedure?

High-gloss re-enamelled bath finish Newington

Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. One of the steps that takes some time is masking up and protecting all the surfaces around your bath to make sure no overspray gets on anything. Masking and protection are vital to ensure no damage occurs to your bathroom. If your bath has lots of chips and dents then these also have to be filled in and repaired before the new enamel surface is sprayed on as you won't get a good result if the bath isn't repaired first. If your bath has damage, this extra step can take a bit longer than if no repairs are needed.

I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! When you have your bath re-enamelled, it will look and feel like a brand new bath again.

Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. Restoring your bath helps minimize environmental impact by preventing additional waste in landfills. I address all chip, crack, and scratch repairs as part of the bath resurfacing process.

The materials I use are of the highest quality, which you won’t find at your local DIY store for DIY bath painting. For the last 10 years, I’ve been using the same high-quality materials that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.

What’s the lifespan of a bath re-enamelling?

The restored surface of your bath will remain in excellent condition for many years. I’ll explain how to clean and care for the surface to maintain its flawless shine and smooth texture. All of my work is guaranteed for 12 months for your peace of mind.
