Damaged bath enamel repaired by Surface Doctor Bromley Surface Doctor bath repair van in Bromley

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 Bromley, we specialize in restoring your bath to its original condition, with minimal disruption to your bathroom. Get in touch now to see how I can help restore your bath.

Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. This high-quality enamel paint hardens in just 24 hours, so you can enjoy your bath again the very next day. During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. I can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also acrylic baths. This quick and cost-effective procedure only takes a day, saving you both time and money compared to a full bath replacement. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What we offer our customers in Bromley

I’m here to assist with all your bath resurfacing and re-enamelling requirements. Over the years, I’ve resurfaced hundreds of baths while working in the hard surface repair industry in Bromley. Alongside bath resurfacing, I provide sink and shower tray resurfacing, chip repairs, scratch fixes, and more. If you want a perfectly resurfaced bath, I’m the expert you can count on!

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. The top shiny layer wears away, leaving the bath porous and allowing dirt to stick to it more effectively. Occasionally, your bath may accumulate chips or scratches that require treatment. 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. This is an important step to make sure no damage is caused to your bathroom. 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.

Why bath restoration is a smarter choice than replacement

In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. Getting rid of an old bath is not as straightforward as many people think. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. Although acrylic baths are easier to remove, the process still causes damage to surrounding areas in your bathroom. You'll have to re-do the tiling around the bath, have the taps and waste re-fitted, and potentially get new flooring done. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Traditional metal baths are common in older houses and can last for decades with proper maintenance. When the surface of metal baths gets worn, chipped, or scratched, resurfacing makes them look brand new again, restoring strength and beauty. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive results. With individual repairs, I match the paint to your bath’s surface, but when resurfacing or re-enamelling, I apply a brilliant white enamel to the whole surface.

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. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond the new surface to your original bath. The specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. For years, I’ve been using these proven materials, which consistently create the highest standard of bath repairs.

There’s no need to remove your bath or deal with complicated transport, as all of my resurfacing work is done in-situ. By working in-situ, I minimize disruption to you—only needing one day of work in your bathroom before I’m done. You may be familiar with Vitreous enamel, a specialized process where powdered glass is fused to the bath’s surface in a high-temperature kiln. 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 has significant chips or dents, I’ll handle the repairs to make sure the surface is even and smooth before the resurfacing process. You won’t incur extra costs for this step—it’s included in the resurfacing service. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Bromley.

Step by Step Restoration Process:

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

2. Next, I will sand the bath’s surface to remove the old finish and expose the metal underneath.

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. At this stage, I will apply a new enamel coating to your bath.

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

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

How much time does the process take?

It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. This is a very important part of the procedure. If there are chips or dents in your bath, these need to be filled before resurfacing for the best possible results. This can sometimes make the process take a bit longer than if there was no damage to fill.

My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. Re-enamelling your bath will restore it to a like-new appearance and feel.

Resurfacing your bath instead of replacing it can save you money and time, and it’s a more eco-friendly choice.

Don’t expect to achieve the same outcome by using DIY materials from your local shop; I use only the best materials for the job. I’ve been working with these materials for over 10 years, ensuring consistent and durable outcomes every time.
