Damaged bath enamel repaired by Surface Doctor Govanhill Damaged bath enamel repaired by Surface Doctor Govanhill

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. At Surface Doctor Govanhill, we offer professional bath restoration to make your bath look brand new again, with no disruption to your bathroom. Call me today to find out how I can restore your bath.

Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. This is all done in your bathroom so there is no messing with your bath installation or anything like that. 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. Whether it's a cast-iron, metal, or acrylic bath, I can restore it to a like-new condition. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full replacement. My bath resurfacing services are backed by a 12-month guarantee for peace of mind.

What we offer our customers in Govanhill

I'm here to help with all of your bath re-enamelling and bath resurfacing needs. With years of experience in hard surface repairs, I’ve resurfaced countless baths across Govanhill. Alongside bath resurfacing, I provide sink and shower tray resurfacing, chip repairs, scratch fixes, and more. If you're looking for a bath resurfacing expert, I’m the professional you need!

Bathtubs are available in various shapes, sizes, and materials. As they are constantly exposed to water and sometimes abrasive cleaning chemicals like bleach and cif, the surface of the bath can be damaged and you'll notice that dirt will stick to it and be very hard to clean off. 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 can transform your worn-out bath into a brand-new looking one. Since I resurface your bath in-situ, the first step is to fully mask up your bathroom to protect it from overspray. Masking the bathroom properly ensures no damage occurs during the resurfacing process. It will take me 5-7 hours to re-enamel your bath for you, and then you'll have to leave it for 24 hours before using it again so the new surface can harden and fully cure.

Why you should restore your bath instead of replacing it

It’s become second nature to replace old items with new ones, but with baths, the process of removal and replacement is far more complicated. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. 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. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. Once removed, you’ll need to re-tile around the bath, refit taps and drains, and possibly replace flooring. 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! Resurfacing is a simple and effective solution for worn, chipped, or scratched metal baths, making them look new and strong again. Though acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing restores them to a like-new condition. 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.

The materials I use for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. 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. 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. I complete all resurfacing in just one day in your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption for you. 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.

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 Govanhill.

How the Restoration Process Works, Step by Step:

1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.

2. I will sand off the top surface of the bath to take it back to the metal.

3. I will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath.

4. I’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond.

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

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

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

How long will the procedure take?

Bath resurfacing in Govanhill by Surface Doctor

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. 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. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.

I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.

Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly.

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. For over 10 years, I’ve trusted these materials to provide lasting, reliable results with every resurfacing job.
