Damaged bath enamel repaired by Surface Doctor Aveley Expert bath enamel restoration service in Aveley

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! Surface Doctor Aveley provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. Contact me today to discuss how I can help with your bath restoration.

Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. The process is carried out directly in your bathroom, so no disruption to your bath installation or plumbing. 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 resurface all types of baths including cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. This quick and cost-effective procedure only takes a day, saving you both time and money compared to a full bath replacement. My bath resurfacing services are backed by a 12-month guarantee for peace of mind.

What we offer our customers in Aveley

If you're looking for bath re-enamelling and resurfacing, I’m the expert you need. Over the years, I’ve resurfaced hundreds of baths while working in the hard surface repair industry in Aveley. I can also do sink resurfacing and shower tray resurfacing, as well as chip repairs, scratch repairs and other hard surface repairs. If you're looking for a bath resurfacing expert, I’m the professional you need!

Bathtubs come in all different shapes and sizes and materials. Due to constant exposure to water and harsh cleaning chemicals like bleach and CIF, bathtubs can suffer surface damage, causing dirt to cling and become difficult to remove. When the shiny surface is worn down, the bath becomes porous, leading to dirt sticking to it and making cleaning difficult. Sometimes you just have a number of chips and scratches in your bath which need to be treated. Resurfacing your bath will bring it back to life, giving it a fresh, new appearance. 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. This step is crucial to avoid any damage to your bathroom during the 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.

Reasons to restore your bath rather than replace it

These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. Getting rid of an old bath is not as straightforward as many people think. Cast-iron baths are so heavy that they have to be smashed to pieces before being carried out, which can lead to damage throughout your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. You'll have to re-do the tiling around the bath, have the taps and waste re-fitted, and potentially get new flooring done. 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. 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. Though acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing restores them to a like-new condition. 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.

The materials I use for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. You can’t simply apply regular white paint to resurface your bath. To ensure proper resurfacing, I use an adhesive bonder that bonds the new surface firmly to the original bath. The bonder I use is specifically sourced to guarantee the best, long-lasting outcomes. Having used my chosen materials for years, I’m confident they provide the best, most durable resurfacing results.

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. 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. This service could never be offered in-situ due to the extreme heat involved and I don't know of many companies that are able to offer this any more for baths.

If your bath is badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. 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 Aveley.

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. After applying our special bonder, I will fill in any holes, chips, or cracks that need attention.

4. After that, I will apply another layer of bonder on top.

5. Now it’s time to spray the new enamel surface onto your bath for a flawless finish.

6. I will then buff this down to make it super shiny.

7. Allow 24 hours for the surface to cure before using your bath, and it will look brand new!

How long will the procedure take?

Cracked bath surface repaired in Aveley

It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. A significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. It’s essential to protect surrounding surfaces, as overspray could cause damage. Any chips or dents in your bath must be repaired first, as the new enamel surface won’t adhere properly if these aren’t fixed. This can sometimes make the process take a bit longer than if there was no damage to fill.

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. Re-enamelling your bath will restore it to a like-new appearance and feel.

Choosing to resurface your bath rather than replace it is a cost-effective, time-saving, and environmentally conscious decision. By restoring your bath, you’re reducing waste and avoiding adding more to your local landfill. Any chips, cracks, or scratches will be repaired during the resurfacing process to ensure a flawless result.

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. For the last 10 years, I’ve been using the same high-quality materials that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.

How long will a bath re-enamelling last?

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.
