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. Surface Doctor Rochford provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.

Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly in your bathroom. The enamel I apply fully cures within 24 hours, so your bath will be ready to use by 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. It only takes a day to do this procedure, which is much faster and cheaper than replacing your bath. I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.

What we provide to our clients in Rochford

I specialize in bath re-enamelling and resurfacing, offering top-quality service. Throughout my career in Rochford, I’ve restored and resurfaced hundreds of baths, providing quality results. I offer a full range of resurfacing services including sink and shower tray resurfacing, plus chip and scratch repairs. For expert bath resurfacing, I’m the right choice!

Bathtubs vary greatly in terms of shape, size, and material. 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. If your bath has chips or scratches, resurfacing is the best solution to treat them. Resurfacing your bath will bring it back to life, giving it a fresh, new appearance. The first thing I do is fully mask your bathroom to protect it from overspray while resurfacing your bath in-situ. 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 you should restore your bath instead of 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. Getting rid of an old bath is not as straightforward as many people think. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential damage to the rest of your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. After removal, redoing the tiling, reinstalling taps and drains, and potentially replacing the flooring are necessary. 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. Traditional metal baths are common in older houses and can last for decades with proper maintenance. When a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. 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.

For resurfacing your bath, I rely on high-quality, professional materials that are reserved for commercial use. You can’t simply apply regular white paint to resurface your bath. 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. I’ve trusted my preferred materials for years, knowing they consistently produce excellent, high-quality repairs.

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. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. Vitreous enamel is a specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at 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. 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 Rochford.

Detailed Step-by-Step Restoration Guide:

1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.

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

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

4. After that, I will apply another layer of bonder on top.

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

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

7. After waiting 24 hours, your bath will be ready to use and look as good as new!

How much time does the process take?

Expert bath enamel restoration service in Rochford

Typically, re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath takes between 5 and 7 hours. The masking process to protect surrounding areas from overspray is one of the steps that can take a bit of time. This step is crucial to ensure the surrounding areas remain undamaged. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. If your bath has damage, this extra step can take a bit longer than if no repairs are needed.

I’ve been resurfacing baths for years, so I know exactly how to bring your bath back to life and make it look like new. Once your bath is re-enamelled, it will look and feel just like a new one.

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. I address all chip, crack, and scratch repairs as part of the bath resurfacing process.

The materials I use are of the highest quality, which you won’t find at your local DIY store for DIY bath painting. For over 10 years, I’ve trusted these materials to provide lasting, reliable results with every resurfacing job.

What’s the lifespan of a bath re-enamelling?

The restored surface of your bath will remain in excellent condition for many years. I’ll explain how to clean and care for the surface to maintain its flawless shine and smooth texture. Every job I do is backed by a 12-month guarantee for your peace of mind.
