Do you need bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing? If your bath looks worn, sticky, or chipped, a full restoration is the best approach. Surface Doctor Taunton provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. 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. You won’t have to worry about altering your bath installation as the process is done in your bathroom. 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. The entire procedure takes just one day, making it a quicker and more affordable option than replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.

Services we offer to customers in Taunton

If you're looking for bath re-enamelling and resurfacing, I’m the expert you need. I have resurfaced hundreds of baths throughout my career working in the hard surface repair industry in Taunton. 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. Exposure to water and abrasive cleaners such as bleach or CIF can cause damage to the bath’s surface, making it porous and harder to clean. 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 can transform your worn-out bath into a brand-new looking one. The first thing I do is fully mask your bathroom to protect it from overspray while resurfacing your bath in-situ. This protective step ensures your bathroom remains safe during the resurfacing procedure. The resurfacing process will take 5-7 hours, followed by a 24-hour curing period before the bath can be used again.

The benefits of restoring your bath over replacing it

In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. 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. While acrylic baths are much lighter and can be carried out more easily, it will still cause damage to the rest of your bathroom if you have it removed. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. Restoring your bath is the most eco-friendly choice, preventing the additional waste generated from removing and replacing it. Traditional metal baths are common in older houses and can last for decades with proper maintenance. A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive 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 for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. 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. The bonder I use is specifically sourced to guarantee the best, long-lasting outcomes. I’ve trusted my preferred materials for years, knowing they consistently produce excellent, high-quality repairs.

With my in-situ resurfacing service, you don’t need to remove or transport your bath—everything is done in your bathroom. 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. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.

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. I can resurface most baths, so contact me today to see if I can restore yours in Taunton.

Detailed Step-by-Step Restoration Guide:

1. I begin by masking up the bathroom and surrounding areas to prevent any damage during the procedure.

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

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. 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?

Typically, re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath takes between 5 and 7 hours. One of the steps that takes some time is masking up and protecting all the surfaces around your bath to make sure no overspray gets on anything. This is a very important part of the procedure. If your bath has lots of chips and dents then these also have to be filled in and repaired before the new enamel surface is sprayed on as you won't get a good result if the bath isn't repaired first. If there’s damage to repair, it can extend the process slightly compared to a bath without damage.

Having resurfaced baths for many years, I have the expertise to make your bath look brand new again. When you have your bath re-enamelled, it will look and feel like a brand new bath again.

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

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. I have been using the same materials for the last 10 years, so I know that they work every time and will produce a lasting result.
