Does your bath need resurfacing or re-enamelling? If your bath looks worn, sticky, or chipped, a full restoration is the best approach. With Surface Doctor South-Benfleet, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Call me today to find out how I can restore your bath.

Bath resurfacing, or re-enamelling, is the process of spraying a new enamel surface onto your bath, giving it a fresh look. 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 take care of filling in chips, scratches, and other repairs so that the final surface is smooth and flawless once the enamel is applied. My resurfacing service is suitable for 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. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Our offerings for customers in South-Benfleet

For all your bath resurfacing and re-enamelling needs, I'm here to help. I have resurfaced hundreds of baths throughout my career working in the hard surface repair industry in South-Benfleet. 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 a perfectly resurfaced bath, I’m the expert you can count on!

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. When the glossy finish is stripped, your bath becomes porous, which is why dirt tends to stick to it and is tough to clean. 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. 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 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. Cast-iron baths are extremely heavy and must be broken apart for removal, which often results in damage to your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. Once removed, you’ll need to re-tile around the bath, refit taps and drains, and possibly replace flooring. Opting to restore your bath helps you avoid contributing to the large amount of construction waste produced every day. Metal baths are often classic features of older homes and can last for many decades. 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. When fixing chips and scratches, I match the color to your bath’s surface, but for re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a new white enamel finish.

The materials I use for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. It’s impossible to use ordinary white paint for resurfacing your bath; it requires specialized materials. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the original bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.

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. 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 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. There aren't many baths that I can't resurface, so give me a call today to find out if I can restore your bath for you in South-Benfleet.

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

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

4. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface.

5. At this stage, I will apply a new enamel coating 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. 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. This is a very important part of the procedure. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. If there’s damage to repair, it can extend the process slightly compared to a bath without damage.

My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. Re-enamelling your bath will restore it to a like-new appearance and feel.

Choosing to resurface your bath rather than replace it is a cost-effective, time-saving, and environmentally conscious decision. Choosing to repair and restore your bath means you're contributing less to landfill waste. I address all chip, crack, and scratch repairs as part of the bath resurfacing process.

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. I have been using the same materials for the last 10 years, so I know that they work every time and will produce a lasting result.

How long will a bath re-enamelling last?

Once resurfaced, your bath’s new surface will remain in great condition for years. I’ll provide guidance on how to clean the surface, keeping it as shiny and smooth as possible. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all of my work, ensuring your satisfaction.
