Long-lasting bath enamel repair Southampton Professional bath chip repair and re-enamelling Southampton

Does your bath need resurfacing or re-enamelling? 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! Here at Surface Doctor Southampton, 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 learn more about how I can restore your bath to its best condition.

Bath re-enamelling, or resurfacing, involves spraying a fresh surface onto your bath, restoring its original appearance. 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! 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. I can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also acrylic baths. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. I stand behind my bath resurfacing work with a 12-month guarantee.

What we deliver to our customers in Southampton

I'm here to help with all of your bath re-enamelling and bath resurfacing needs. Over the years, I’ve resurfaced hundreds of baths while working in the hard surface repair industry in Southampton. Alongside bath resurfacing, I provide sink and shower tray resurfacing, chip repairs, scratch fixes, and more. If you want a perfectly resurfaced bath, I’m the expert you can count on!

Bathtubs come in a wide range of materials, sizes, and designs. As they are constantly exposed to water and sometimes abrasive cleaning chemicals like bleach and cif, the surface of the bath can be damaged and you'll notice that dirt will stick to it and be very hard to clean off. This occurs when the shiny top layer is worn off, leaving the bath porous and causing dirt to adhere more easily. Your bath may develop chips and scratches that need attention. 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. Masking the bathroom properly ensures no damage occurs during the resurfacing process. Re-enamelling your bath will take between 5 to 7 hours, and after that, it needs 24 hours to harden and fully cure before you can use it.

The benefits of restoring your bath over replacing it

These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. It’s not easy to dispose of an old bath, especially depending on its material. Cast-iron baths weigh a ton and have to be smashed apart to be able to carry the pieces out of your house, and this obviously causes 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. You'll have to re-do the tiling around the bath, have the taps and waste re-fitted, and potentially get new flooring done. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Metal baths are a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability 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. 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.

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. 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. Since I work in-situ, the entire resurfacing process is completed in just one day, causing minimal disruption to your day-to-day life. 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. 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. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Southampton.

Detailed Step-by-Step Restoration Guide:

1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.

2. Step 2: I will carefully sand off the top layer of the bath, revealing the underlying metal surface.

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

4. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface.

5. Now I will spray on the new enamel surface 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 long does the procedure take?

Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. This important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. 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.

I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.
