Surface Doctor Prestwich provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new.

The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. The enamel I apply fully cures within 24 hours, so your bath will be ready to use by the next day.

I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.

Our offerings for customers in Prestwich

For all your bath resurfacing and re-enamelling needs, I'm here to help. In my career in the hard surface repair industry in Prestwich, I’ve worked on hundreds of bath resurfacing projects. I’m also skilled in sink resurfacing, shower tray resurfacing, and repairing chips, scratches, and other surface imperfections. 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. 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. Bath resurfacing can transform your worn-out bath into a brand-new looking one. 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.

Why bath restoration is a smarter choice than replacement

In today’s consumer culture, we often choose to replace over repair, but when it comes to baths, it’s not so easy. It’s not easy to dispose of an old bath, especially depending on its material. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. While acrylic baths are much lighter and can be carried out more easily, it will still cause damage to the rest of your bathroom if you have it 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. Restoring your bath is the most eco-friendly choice, preventing the additional waste generated from removing and replacing it. Metal baths are a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability 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. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive results. 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 simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your original bath. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. I’ve trusted my preferred materials for years, knowing they consistently produce excellent, high-quality 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. Vitreous enamel is a specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at high temperatures in a 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 is severely chipped or dented, I’ll repair these imperfections first to ensure a flawless surface for resurfacing. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. I can resurface most baths, so contact me today to see if I can restore yours in Prestwich.

Detailed Step-by-Step Restoration Guide:

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

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

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

4. I will then apply another layer of bonder over this.

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

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

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

How much time does the process take?

Vintage bath resurfaced by Surface Doctor in Prestwich

Typically, re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath takes between 5 and 7 hours. One of the steps that takes some time is masking up and protecting all the surfaces around your bath to make sure no overspray gets on anything. Masking and protection are vital to ensure no damage occurs to your bathroom. 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.

With years of experience in bath resurfacing, I can restore your bath to its original condition. Re-enamelling your bath will restore it to a like-new appearance and feel.

Opting for bath resurfacing over replacement saves both time and money, while being better for the environment. You won't be adding more wastage to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your bath. Any chips, cracks, or scratches will be repaired during the resurfacing process to ensure a flawless result.

I use top-quality materials that guarantee superior results, unlike anything you can achieve with DIY products from a local store. I’ve been working with these materials for over 10 years, ensuring consistent and durable outcomes every time.

How long does a re-enamelled bath last?

The newly resurfaced surface will stay durable and shiny for many years to come. I’ll explain how to clean and care for the surface to maintain its flawless shine and smooth texture. All of my work is guaranteed for 12 months for your peace of mind.
