Bath resurfacing in Northampton by Surface Doctor High-gloss re-enamelled bath finish Northampton

Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? If your bath looks worn, sticky, or chipped, a full restoration is the best approach. Here at Surface Doctor Northampton, I can restore your bath for you so it looks brand new again without causing any disruption to your bathroom. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.

Bath resurfacing, or re-enamelling, is the process of spraying a new enamel surface onto your bath, giving it a fresh look. The process is carried out directly in your bathroom, so no disruption to your bath installation or plumbing. The special enamel I use hardens and cures in 24 hours, ensuring your bath is ready for use the following 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. My resurfacing service is suitable for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. It only takes a day to do this procedure, which is much faster and cheaper than replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.

If you're looking for bath re-enamelling and resurfacing, I’m the expert you need. Over the years, I’ve resurfaced hundreds of baths while working in the hard surface repair industry in Northampton. Alongside bath resurfacing, I provide sink and shower tray resurfacing, chip repairs, scratch fixes, and more. If you want your bath to be expertly resurfaced, then I'm your man!

There are many shapes, sizes, and materials when it comes to bathtubs. Baths face constant exposure to water and harsh chemicals like bleach or CIF, which can cause the surface to become damaged, making dirt stick and be hard to remove. When the shiny surface is worn down, the bath becomes porous, leading to dirt sticking to it and making cleaning difficult. 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. Since I resurface your bath in-situ, the first step is to fully mask up your bathroom to protect it from overspray. 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

It’s become second nature to replace old items with new ones, but with baths, the process of removal and replacement is far more complicated. 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. Acrylic baths are lighter and easier to move, but removing them can still damage your bathroom. Once removed, you’ll need to re-tile around the bath, refit taps and drains, and possibly replace flooring. Restoring your bath is the most eco-friendly choice, preventing the additional waste generated from removing and replacing it. 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 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. 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 use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. Having used my chosen materials for years, I’m confident they provide the best, most durable resurfacing results.

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. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. You may have heard of Vitreous enamel - this is a specialised procedure where the bath is coated in a powdered glass material and then this is fused onto the surface of your bath in a large kiln at very high temperatures. This service could never be offered in-situ due to the extreme heat involved and I don't know of many companies that are able to offer this any more for baths.

If your bath is badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. You won’t incur extra costs for this step—it’s included in the resurfacing service. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Northampton.

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

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

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!

How long will the procedure take?

Restored cast iron bath - Surface Doctor Northampton

It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. This is a very important part of the procedure. If there are chips or dents in your bath, these need to be filled before resurfacing for the best possible results. 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. Once your bath is re-enamelled, it will look and feel just like a new one.

Resurfacing your bath instead of replacing it can save you money and time, and it’s a more eco-friendly choice. You won't be adding more wastage to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your bath. 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’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 will go over with you the best way to clean it to also ensure the surface stays as shiny and smooth as possible. For your peace of mind, all of my work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
