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. At Surface Doctor Southport, we offer professional bath restoration to make your bath look brand new again, with no disruption to your bathroom. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.

Bath re-enamelling, or resurfacing, involves spraying a fresh surface onto your bath, restoring its original appearance. This is all done in your bathroom so there is no messing with your bath installation or anything like that. The special enamel I use hardens and cures in 24 hours, ensuring your bath is ready for use the following day. During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. Whether it's a cast-iron, metal, or acrylic bath, I can restore it to a like-new condition. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.

What we deliver to our customers in Southport

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 Southport. In addition to bath resurfacing, I also offer sink resurfacing, shower tray resurfacing, and repairs for chips, scratches, and other hard surface issues. If you want a perfectly resurfaced bath, I’m the expert you can count on!

Bathtubs vary greatly in terms of shape, size, and material. 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. Your bath might have multiple chips or scratches that need to be repaired. With bath resurfacing, you can enjoy a bath that looks and feels like new again. Since I resurface your bath in-situ, the first step is to fully mask up your bathroom to protect it from overspray. Masking the bathroom properly ensures no damage occurs during the resurfacing process. 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.

Reasons to restore your bath rather than replace 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. It’s not easy to dispose of an old bath, especially depending on its material. Cast-iron baths are extremely heavy and must be broken apart for removal, which often results in damage to your bathroom. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of 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 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. Acrylic baths may not last as long as metal baths, but they can still be resurfaced to great effect. 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 use commercial-grade materials to resurface your bath, which are not available to the general public. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. To ensure proper resurfacing, I use an adhesive bonder that bonds the new surface firmly to the original bath. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.

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. Vitreous enamel is a specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at high temperatures in a kiln. Due to the high temperatures involved, vitreous enamel can’t be performed in-situ, and it’s becoming increasingly rare among companies.

If your bath is badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. 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 Southport.

The Restoration Process, Step by Step:

1. I’ll carefully mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to protect them during the resurfacing process.

2. The next step is to sand off the bath’s top surface, exposing the metal for resurfacing.

3. I then will apply a layer of our special bonder and then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc.

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. Next, I’ll buff the surface to a high shine.

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

How long does the procedure take?

Luxury finish after bath resurfacing in Southport

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 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 can sometimes make the process take a bit longer than if there was no damage to fill.

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.

Opting for bath resurfacing over replacement saves both time and money, while being better for the environment. You won't be adding more wastage to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your bath. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.

I use the highest quality materials available, so don't think you can get the same result as me by painting your bath yourself with something from your local DIY shop. Having used these materials for the last decade, I can confidently say they consistently produce the best, lasting results.

How long does a re-enamelled bath last?

After resurfacing, your bath will have a lasting, smooth, and shiny finish for years. I’ll show you the best cleaning techniques to maintain the shiny and smooth finish of your bath. For your peace of mind, all of my work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
