Restored cast iron bath - Surface Doctor Swadlincote Eco-friendly bath restoration in Swadlincote

Are you looking for bath re-enamelling or resurfacing? If your bath surface is dull, sticky, or has several chips, restoring the entire surface is the best solution. Here at Surface Doctor Swadlincote, I can restore your bath for you so it looks brand new again without causing any disruption to your bathroom. Contact me today to discuss how I can help with your bath restoration.

Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. This is all done in your bathroom so there is no messing with your bath installation or anything like that. The special enamel I use hardens and cures in 24 hours, ensuring your bath is ready for use the following day. I’ll also take care of any chip or scratch repairs as part of the process, ensuring a smooth, flawless surface before the new enamel is sprayed. Whether it's a cast-iron, metal, or acrylic bath, I can restore it to a like-new condition. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full replacement. I stand behind my bath resurfacing work with a 12-month guarantee.

Services we offer to customers in Swadlincote

I’m here to assist with all your bath resurfacing and re-enamelling requirements. Throughout my career in Swadlincote, I’ve restored and resurfaced hundreds of baths, providing quality results. I can also do sink resurfacing and shower tray resurfacing, as well as chip repairs, scratch repairs and other hard surface repairs. For top-quality bath resurfacing, I’m your go-to professional!

Bathtubs vary greatly in terms of shape, size, and material. With regular exposure to water and chemicals like bleach or CIF, the surface of your bath can deteriorate, causing dirt to stick more easily and making it harder to clean. The top shiny layer wears away, leaving the bath porous and allowing dirt to stick to it more effectively. Your bath might have multiple chips or scratches that need to be repaired. With bath resurfacing, you can enjoy a bath that looks and feels like new again. The first thing I do is fully mask your bathroom to protect it from overspray while resurfacing your bath in-situ. Proper masking is vital to protect your bathroom from any unwanted damage. 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 today’s consumer culture, we often choose to replace over repair, but when it comes to baths, it’s not so easy. With baths, it's actually not that easy to get rid of the old one. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential damage to the rest of your bathroom. 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. Removing your bath means redoing the tiling, refitting taps, and possibly replacing flooring, making it a costly and disruptive process. 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. Metal baths are usually original features of older houses, and they will last for decades! When the surface of metal baths gets worn, chipped, or scratched, resurfacing makes them look brand new again, restoring strength and beauty. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. When I repair individual chips and scratches on baths I have to colour match the repair to the surface of your bath, but with bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing as I am respraying the whole surface I just use a new brilliant white enamel paint.

I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. 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. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. Having used my chosen materials for years, I’m confident they provide the best, most durable resurfacing results.

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. I complete all resurfacing in just one day in your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption for you. Vitreous enamel is a specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at high temperatures in a kiln. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.

When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. You won’t incur extra costs for this step—it’s included in the resurfacing service. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Swadlincote.

Our Step-by-Step Restoration Process:

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

2. I will sand off the top surface of the bath to take 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. Next, I will apply an additional layer of bonder over the surface.

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

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

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

How long does the procedure take?

It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. A significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. This is a very important part of the procedure. Any chips or dents in your bath must be repaired first, as the new enamel surface won’t adhere properly if these aren’t fixed. If your bath has damage, this extra step can take a bit longer than if no repairs are needed.

My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. Re-enamelling will give your bath a fresh, new look and feel, making it look like new again.

Resurfacing your bath instead of replacing it can save you money and time, and it’s a more eco-friendly choice. Restoring your bath helps minimize environmental impact by preventing additional waste in landfills.

I use top-quality materials that guarantee superior results, unlike anything you can achieve with DIY products from a local store. For over 10 years, I’ve trusted these materials to provide lasting, reliable results with every resurfacing job.
