Most baths and shower units are used day-in and day-out, often by multiple people, multiple times! Cleanliness is next to Godliness, they say. So it’s no wonder these fixtures can pick up signs of wear and tear as the years roll by, not to mention damage due to mishaps like something heavy slipping out a soapy hand. But bathtubs, shower units and nearby fittings like sinks, aren’t exactly easy or cheap to replace when said wear-and-tear or damage becomes too much to bear due to its impact on the look of your space, or its baseline functionality. Here’s where Bathglaze arrives on the scene, offering a range of bathroom resurfacing services. From chip repair for sinks (covered over here on our Hard Surface Repair page), to our bath re-enamel options, you can trust our technicians to help you shake off signs of punishment and re-discover a space that truly makes you proud.

The Bath Resurfacing Process
Our resurfacing process is designed to restore your bathtub's original lustre without the need for a complete replacement. First, we clean the surface thoroughly to remove any grime, soap scum, oils and similar contaminants. Next, we lightly sand the surface to create a rough texture, ensuring the resurfacing material adheres properly. We then apply a bonding agent to improve adhesion, followed by multiple coats of high-quality resurfacing material, typically an epoxy-based product. This process results in a smooth, glossy finish that can last for years with proper care.
Situations Where Resurfacing is Beneficial
Bathroom resurfacing is ideal for a variety of situations. If your tub/unit is stained, chipped or scratched but otherwise structurally sound, this form of bath enamel repair offers a cost-effective alternative to replacement. It's also perfect for those who want to update their bathroom's look without a major renovation. Additionally, bathroom resurfacing is faster than replacement, minimising disruption to your daily routine.
Colour Choices for a Fresh Look
While traditional white is a popular choice for bathroom resurfacing, we offer a wide range of colours to suit your style. Pastels, bold hues and even metallic finishes can transform your bathtub into a stunning focal point. If you're looking to refresh a dated paint scheme or create a more contemporary look, resurfacing offers the flexibility to customise your bath re-enamel via a change in colour palette.
External Refurbishing Options
In addition to resurfacing the inside of the bathtub, we can refinish the outside for a cohesive look. This allows you to match or contrast with the interior colour, adding an extra layer of customisation. For example, a white interior with a black or dark grey exterior can create a striking contrast, while a matching colour scheme offers a more unified appearance.
Refurbishing Ornate Bath Feet
Many traditional bathtubs have ornate feet that add character to the bathroom. As part of our bathroom resurfacing service, we can refurbish these decorative elements. Whether you prefer a classic metallic look or a bold colour to match your bathtub's exterior, our team can restore the feet to their former glory, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your bathroom.
