Are you looking for bath re-enamelling or resurfacing? If your bath surface is dull, sticky, or has several chips, restoring the entire surface is the best solution. At Surface Doctor Saughton, we specialize in restoring your bath to its original condition, with minimal disruption to your bathroom.

Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. This high-quality enamel paint hardens in just 24 hours, so you can enjoy your bath again the very next day. I’ll also take care of any chip or scratch repairs as part of the process, ensuring a smooth, flawless surface before the new enamel is sprayed. My resurfacing service is suitable for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What we offer our customers in Saughton

I’m here to assist with all your bath resurfacing and re-enamelling requirements. I have resurfaced hundreds of baths throughout my career working in the hard surface repair industry in Saughton. I’m also skilled in sink resurfacing, shower tray resurfacing, and repairing chips, scratches, and other surface imperfections. For top-quality bath resurfacing, I’m your go-to professional!

Bathtubs come in all different shapes and sizes and materials. 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. 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. Resurfacing your bath will bring it back to life, giving it a fresh, new appearance. As I will resurface your bath in-situ - the first thing I will do is mask up your bathroom fully so it is protected from any overspray during the procedure. This step is crucial to avoid any damage to your bathroom during the process. The process takes 5-7 hours to complete, after which the new enamel needs 24 hours to harden fully before your bath is ready for use.

The benefits of restoring your bath over replacing it

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. With baths, it's actually not that easy to get rid of the old one. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential damage to the rest of your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter and easier to move, but removing them can still damage your bathroom. Removing your bath means redoing the tiling, refitting taps, and possibly replacing flooring, making it a costly and disruptive process. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Metal baths are usually original features of older houses, and they will last for decades! A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. Though acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing restores them to a like-new condition. For individual repairs like chips and scratches, I color match the repair to your bath, but with re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a fresh white enamel to respray the entire surface.

I use commercial-grade materials to resurface your bath, which are not available to the general public. 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. The specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.

There’s no need to remove your bath or deal with complicated transport, as all of my resurfacing work is done in-situ. I complete all resurfacing in just one day in your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption for you. Vitreous enamel is a unique process where powdered glass is fused to the surface of the bath at extremely high temperatures in a kiln. 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 severely chipped or dented, I’ll repair these imperfections first to ensure a flawless surface for resurfacing. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. Most baths are suitable for resurfacing, so give me a call today to learn if I can restore your bath in Saughton.

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. Next, I will apply a layer of our unique bonder and fill in any chips, holes, cracks, or other imperfections.

4. After that, I will apply another layer of bonder on top.

5. At this stage, I will apply a new enamel coating to your bath.

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

7. Give it 24 hours to fully cure, and your bath will be as good as new!

How much time does the process take?

Affordable bath resurfacing service in Saughton

The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 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. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. 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. Once your bath is re-enamelled, it will look and feel just like a new one.

Resurfacing your bath saves you money, reduces waste, and is a time-efficient, environmentally friendly option.
