Professional bath chip repair and re-enamelling Rayleigh Long-lasting bath enamel repair Rayleigh

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 Rayleigh, we offer professional bath restoration to make your bath look brand new again, with no disruption to your bathroom. Contact me today to discuss how I can help with your bath restoration.

Bath re-enamelling, or resurfacing, involves spraying a fresh surface onto your bath, restoring its original appearance. The process is carried out directly in your bathroom, so no disruption to your bath installation or plumbing. 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 deliver to our customers in Rayleigh

For all your bath resurfacing and re-enamelling needs, I'm here to help. Throughout my career in Rayleigh, I’ve restored and resurfaced hundreds of baths, providing quality results. In addition to bath resurfacing, I also offer sink resurfacing, shower tray resurfacing, and repairs for chips, scratches, and other hard surface issues. If you want your bath to be expertly resurfaced, then I'm your man!

Bathtubs come in a wide range of materials, sizes, and designs. 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 will ensure that your bath looks and feels brand new again. The first thing I do is fully mask your bathroom to protect it from overspray while resurfacing your bath in-situ. This protective step ensures your bathroom remains safe during the resurfacing procedure. 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 restoring your bath is a better option than replacement

These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. Restoring your bath is the most eco-friendly choice, preventing the additional waste generated from removing and replacing it. 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. 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.

The materials I use to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. 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. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. For years, I’ve been using these proven materials, which consistently create the highest standard of bath repairs.

All of my resurfacing work is done in-situ, so you will never have to remove your bath and transport it to me, then have it delivered back and installed again. 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 unique process where powdered glass is fused to the surface of the bath at extremely high temperatures in a 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. Repairs to chips and dents are included in the resurfacing service with no additional cost. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Rayleigh.

Step by Step Restoration Process:

1. I begin by masking up the bathroom and surrounding areas to prevent any damage during the procedure.

2. I’ll sand down the top surface of your bath, stripping it back to the metal.

3. Once the bonder is applied, I’ll proceed to fill any chips, cracks, or holes in the surface.

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

5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto your bath.

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 does the procedure take?

Before and after bath resurfacing in Rayleigh

The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 hours. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. Masking and protection are vital to ensure no damage occurs to your bathroom. 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. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.

I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! Once your bath is re-enamelled, it will look and feel just like a new one.

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

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.

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. Rest assured, all of my work is guaranteed for 12 months, offering you complete peace of mind.
