Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? When you notice your bath is looking dull, sticky, or has chips, resurfacing the entire surface is recommended. At Surface Doctor Prestwich, we specialize in restoring your bath to its original condition, with minimal disruption to your bathroom. Contact me today to discuss how I can help with your bath restoration.

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. 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. I take care of filling in chips, scratches, and other repairs so that the final surface is smooth and flawless once the enamel is applied. I can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also acrylic baths. The entire procedure takes just one day, making it a quicker and more affordable option than replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing services are backed by a 12-month guarantee for peace of mind.

What we offer our customers in Prestwich

I specialize in bath re-enamelling and resurfacing, offering top-quality service. Over the years, I’ve resurfaced hundreds of baths while working in the hard surface repair industry in Prestwich. 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 are available in various shapes, sizes, and materials. 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. When the shiny surface is worn down, the bath becomes porous, leading to dirt sticking to it and making cleaning difficult. Occasionally, your bath may accumulate chips or scratches that require treatment. Resurfacing your bath will bring it back to life, giving it a fresh, new appearance. The first thing I do is fully mask your bathroom to protect it from overspray while resurfacing your bath 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 you should restore your bath instead of replacing it

In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. Getting rid of an old bath is not as straightforward as many people think. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential damage to the rest of your bathroom. Although acrylic baths are easier to remove, the process still causes damage to surrounding areas in your bathroom. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. 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 often classic features of older homes and can last for many decades. When the surface of metal baths gets worn, chipped, or scratched, resurfacing makes them look brand new again, restoring strength and beauty. 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. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your original bath. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. I’ve trusted my preferred materials for years, knowing they consistently produce excellent, high-quality 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. 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.

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. There aren't many baths that I can't resurface, so give me a call today to find out if I can restore your bath for you in Prestwich.

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’ll sand down the top surface of your bath, stripping 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. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface.

5. Now it’s time to spray the new enamel surface onto your bath for a flawless finish.

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 will the procedure take?

Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. A significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. This step is crucial to ensure the surrounding areas remain undamaged. 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 may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.

Having resurfaced baths for many years, I have the expertise to make your bath look brand new again. After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.

Opting for bath resurfacing over replacement saves both time and money, while being better for the environment. By restoring your bath, you’re reducing waste and avoiding adding more to your local landfill. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.

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?

Once resurfaced, your bath’s new surface will remain in great condition for years. I’ll show you the best cleaning techniques to maintain the shiny and smooth finish of your bath. All of my work is guaranteed for 12 months for your peace of mind.
