Cracked bath surface repaired in Tenterden Expert bath enamel restoration service in Tenterden

Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? When your bath is dull, sticky, or chipped, restoring it completely is the ideal fix. Here at Surface Doctor Tenterden, I can restore your bath for you so it looks brand new again without causing any disruption to your bathroom. Get in touch now to see how I can help restore your bath.

With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. The special enamel I use hardens and cures in 24 hours, ensuring your bath is ready for use the following day. When I re-enamel a bath, as part of the process I will fill in any chip repairs, scratch repairs, etc., that need to be done so that when the new enamel is sprayed on, the surface will be smooth again. 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. I stand behind my bath resurfacing work with a 12-month guarantee.

Services we offer to customers in Tenterden

I’m here to assist with all your bath resurfacing and re-enamelling requirements. With years of experience in hard surface repairs, I’ve resurfaced countless baths across Tenterden. I can also do sink resurfacing and shower tray resurfacing, as well as chip repairs, scratch repairs and other hard surface repairs. For expert bath resurfacing, I’m the right choice!

Bathtubs come in a wide range of materials, sizes, and designs. With regular exposure to water and chemicals like bleach or CIF, the surface of your bath can deteriorate, causing dirt to stick more easily and making it harder to clean. When the shiny surface is worn down, the bath becomes porous, leading to dirt sticking to it and making cleaning difficult. If your bath has chips or scratches, resurfacing is the best solution to treat them. Bath resurfacing will ensure that your bath looks and feels brand new again. 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. Proper masking is vital to protect your bathroom from any unwanted damage. 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

In this day and age, it is so easy to buy something new and throw away the old one rather than trying to have it repaired or restored. Removing an old bath isn’t as simple as it may seem. 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. Removing your bath means redoing the tiling, refitting taps, and possibly replacing flooring, making it a costly and disruptive process. 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 usually original features of older houses, and they will last 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 might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive results. Repairing chips and scratches requires color matching, but with full bath resurfacing or re-enamelling, I apply a new white enamel for a flawless finish.

I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. It’s impossible to use ordinary white paint for resurfacing your bath; it requires specialized materials. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the original 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 of my resurfacing work is done in-situ, so you will never have to remove your bath and transport it to me, then have it delivered back and installed again. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. 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. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.

When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. Repairs to chips and dents are included in the resurfacing service with no additional cost. Most baths are suitable for resurfacing, so give me a call today to learn if I can restore your bath in Tenterden.

How the Restoration Process Works, Step by Step:

1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.

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

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. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto your bath.

6. I will proceed to buff the surface, giving it a glossy, smooth finish.

7. You’ll need to wait 24 hours before using your bath, and it will be as good as new!

How long does the procedure take?

Luxury finish after bath resurfacing in Tenterden

It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. 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. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. If your bath has damage, this extra step can take a bit longer than if no repairs are needed.

I’ve been resurfacing baths for years, so I know exactly how to bring your bath back to life and make it look like new. After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.

Resurfacing your bath instead of replacing it can save you money and time, and it’s a more eco-friendly choice. Choosing to repair and restore your bath means you're contributing less to landfill waste. I address all chip, crack, and scratch repairs as part of the bath resurfacing process.

I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate with DIY products from a local store. I’ve been working with these materials for over 10 years, ensuring consistent and durable outcomes every time.

What is the expected longevity of a bath re-enamelling?

The new surface of your bath will last for many years. I will go over with you the best way to clean it to also ensure the surface stays as shiny and smooth as possible. Every job I do is backed by a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
