Cracked bath surface repaired in Walsall Damaged bath enamel repaired by Surface Doctor Walsall

Do you need bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing? If your bath surface is dull, sticky, or has several chips, restoring the entire surface is the best solution. Here at Surface Doctor Walsall, 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 resurfacing, or re-enamelling, is the process of spraying a new enamel surface onto your bath, giving it a fresh look. This is all done in your bathroom so there is no messing with your bath installation or anything like that. I use a special enamel paint which hardens and fully cures within 24 hours so you can use your bath again the next day! As part of the re-enamelling process, I repair any chips or scratches to ensure a smooth finish when the new enamel is applied. I offer resurfacing services for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. It only takes a day to do this procedure, which is much faster and cheaper than replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing services are backed by a 12-month guarantee for peace of mind.

What we deliver to our customers in Walsall

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 Walsall. In addition to bath resurfacing, I also offer sink resurfacing, shower tray resurfacing, and repairs for chips, scratches, and other hard surface issues. For expert bath resurfacing, I’m the right choice!

There are many shapes, sizes, and materials when it comes to bathtubs. 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 happens when the top shiny layer has been removed so the bath becomes porous, hence the dirt sticking to it. Your bath might have multiple chips or scratches that need to be repaired. Bath resurfacing will ensure that your bath looks and feels brand new again. Since I resurface your bath in-situ, the first step is to fully mask up your bathroom to protect it from overspray. 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.

Why you should restore your bath instead of 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. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential 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 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. 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. Though acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing restores them to a like-new condition. 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. You can’t simply apply regular white paint to resurface your bath. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond the new surface to your original bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. 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. By working in-situ, I minimize disruption to you—only needing one day of work in your bathroom before I’m done. 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. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.

When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. I can resurface most baths, so contact me today to see if I can restore yours in Walsall.

Step by Step Restoration Process:

1. To prepare for the procedure, I will thoroughly mask the bathroom and all areas around your bath.

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. Next, I will apply a fresh enamel surface to your bath.

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

7. Now wait 24 hours before using your bath again and it will look brand new!

How much time does the process take?

Typically, re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath takes between 5 and 7 hours. A key part of the procedure is masking the bathroom to protect surfaces from overspray, which does take some time. It’s essential to protect surrounding surfaces, as overspray could cause damage. 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.

My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. 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. Restoring your bath helps minimize environmental impact by preventing additional waste in landfills. I repair chips, cracks, and scratches as part of the resurfacing process, ensuring a smooth finish.

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’ve been working with these materials for over 10 years, ensuring consistent and durable outcomes every time.
