Re-enamelled bath finish - Surface Doctor Horley Vintage bath resurfaced by Surface Doctor in Horley

Is your bath showing signs of wear and tear, needing re-enamelling or resurfacing? When your bath is dull, sticky, or chipped, restoring it completely is the ideal fix. At Surface Doctor Horley, we offer professional bath restoration to make your bath look brand new again, with no 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. You won’t have to worry about altering your bath installation as the process is done in your bathroom. I use a special enamel paint which hardens and fully cures within 24 hours so you can use your bath again the next 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 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. I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.

Our offerings for customers in Horley

I’m here to assist with all your bath resurfacing and re-enamelling requirements. In my career in the hard surface repair industry in Horley, I’ve worked on hundreds of bath resurfacing projects. I can also do sink resurfacing and shower tray resurfacing, as well as chip repairs, scratch repairs and other hard surface repairs. 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. 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. This happens when the top shiny layer has been removed so the bath becomes porous, hence the dirt sticking to it. Sometimes you just have a number of chips and scratches in your bath which need to be treated. 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. 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.

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. With baths, it's actually not that easy to get rid of the old one. Cast-iron baths are extremely heavy and must be broken apart for removal, which often results in damage to your bathroom. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of 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. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. 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. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. For individual repairs like chips and scratches, I color match the repair to your bath, but with re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a fresh white enamel to respray the entire surface.

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. 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. 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. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. 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. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.

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. Most baths are suitable for resurfacing, so give me a call today to learn if I can restore your bath in Horley.

Detailed Step-by-Step Restoration Guide:

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

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

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. The next step is to buff the surface, ensuring it has a smooth, shiny finish.

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

How long will the procedure take?

On average, re-enamelling or resurfacing your bath will take 5-7 hours. A key part of the procedure is masking the bathroom to protect surfaces from overspray, which does take some time. This step is crucial to ensure the surrounding areas remain undamaged. If your bath has lots of chips and dents then these also have to be filled in and repaired before the new enamel surface is sprayed on as you won't get a good result if the bath isn't repaired first. If your bath has damage, this extra step can take a bit longer than if no repairs are needed.

Having resurfaced baths for many years, I have the expertise to make your bath look brand new again. Re-enamelling your bath will restore it to a like-new appearance and feel.

Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. You won't be adding more wastage to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your bath. 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. Having used these materials for the last decade, I can confidently say they consistently produce the best, lasting results.
