Bath Resurfacing VS Replacement?
It is usually easier to resurface a bath, sink or shower tray in situ that to replace.
Replacing the bath can end up costing lots more money when you take into account removal, plumbing, installation etc
It contributes to a Greener Environment to resurface than replace.
We have a large team of professional sprayers who can deliver a very good product of your bath, sink or shower tray.
How Long Does The Job Take?
Bath resurfacing is done at your home and it usually takes 4-6 hours to complete the full bath repair and bath re-enamelling procedure.
When Can I Use The Bath After Its Re Enamelled?
You can use the bath after 24 hours from completion of the job by our technician.
Has The Bath Been Worked On Before?
If the bath has been worked on before and the bath was re-enamelled previously then it may show up that the bath is flaking, cracking, peeling away from the original bath enamel.
In this case we have to undo the work of the previous job before we can actually respray the bath.
If the old surface is damaged cracking or peeling away we have to get rid of that coating before we do our coating or it may continue to peel.
In this case we remove the old enamel surface and sand it back too to make it smooth again then we start our full bath re-enamelling and bath resurfacing procedure.
How Long Will The Bath Last?
The bath should last years, sometimes up to 10 years or more depending on the use of it. We have done baths years later to bring it fully back to life again so it’s smooth and shiny but sometimes the baths last less than that.
A bath like anything will wear and tear over time. You can’t expect it to look perfect after 5 or 10 years.
With the use of modern spray cleaners and bleaches they dull the bath over time too.
Is The Bathroom Protected?
Yes we cover the floor with dust sheets so it’s protected. We mask all around the bath so there is no over-spray.
We have an extractor that blows out any dust and enamel spray that is in the bathroom. We clean up as best we can after the job but it can get a bit dusty and it’s hard to catch everything working in a small space.
You may have to dust over the surface and run the bath and rinse it down before using it.
What Materials Do We Use For The Job?
We have tested and tried all the different enamel products and materials out there and we have found the best ones for the bath resurfacing job.
They are not the cheapest materials on the market but they are the best and that’s why we use them. The enamel we use is long lasting and durable. It has a deep shine to it.
Yes – please review our warranty page for full details of what the warranty covers. Milton’s provide a 5 Year Warranty.
Bath Resurfacing and Re-Enamelling Full Step-By-Step Procedure
- We dust sheet the whole bathroom and cover all surfaces.
- We clean the bath with certain spray cleaners for your bath and remove any old and mouldy sealant.
- We then repair any damage to the bath, if there are any chips, scratches, limescale damage, holes, worn away enamel, etc. we repair that. This can involve sanding of the bath too so it’s smooth again
- Then we use certain chemicals on the bath to prepare it for adhesion. We use certain solvents that get rid of any grease, etc.
- We then put on our FIRST bonding agent/adhesive
- Then we spray on our SECOND bonding agent/etching primer. This is what makes us different from other resurfacing companies in that we use two bonding methods
- We then spray on the bath enamel with 3-4 coats of white enamel. This is a spray gun finish. We have a full spray gun set up which is for domestic use
- We let the bath set and dry to a point and then we do any finishing touches, polishing, etc. if needed

Transform Your Bathroom with Expert Bath Refurbishment in London
Understanding Bath Wear and Tear
Bathrooms are one of the most frequently used areas in a home. Over time, baths experience natural wear, including surface cracks, chips, and discoloration, caused by daily use, cleaning chemicals, and occasional accidents. Left untreated, these imperfections can impact hygiene, safety, and the overall appeal of your bathroom. Bath refurbishment in London restores the original smoothness and shine, offering a cost-effective alternative to full bath replacement.
Why Refurbishment Is a Smart Choice
Replacing a bath entirely can be expensive, invasive, and time-consuming. Professional bath repair services in London provide a practical solution by restoring the existing bath to a “like-new” condition. This process is faster, environmentally friendly, and allows homeowners to preserve historic or high-quality baths without the need for extensive plumbing or tiling work.
Benefits of Professional Bath Refurbishment
- Cost-Effective Home Improvement
One of the most significant advantages of refurbishment is financial efficiency. Restoring a bath is considerably less expensive than purchasing and installing a new unit. Homeowners enjoy a high-quality finish without incurring the costs and disruptions associated with a full replacement. - Enhanced Durability and Longevity
A professionally refurbished bath benefits from durable enamel coatings that resist chipping, staining, and daily wear. With proper care, the restored surface can last for up to ten years, making it a long-term solution for both modern and older bathrooms.
- Improved Hygiene and Safety
A smooth, glossy surface is easier to clean, reducing the risk of bacteria buildup and ensuring a hygienic environment. Anti-slip treatments are also available to enhance safety for children and the elderly. These features make bath resurfacing in London a practical investment for family homes. - Aesthetic and Design Renewal
Modern refurbishment techniques allow for colour customization, enabling homeowners to refresh the look of their bathroom. Whether you want to retain the original finish or update the bath to match contemporary décor, bath restoration in London provides tailored solutions to meet aesthetic preferences.
Our Bath Refurbishment Process

Every project begins with a thorough inspection to identify surface damage, structural issues, and areas requiring repair. This ensures that the refurbishment process addresses all concerns, from minor chips to extensive cracks. - Surface Preparation and Repair
The bath is meticulously cleaned and sanded to remove old coatings, stains, and debris. Any chips, cracks, or dents are repaired with specialist fillers to restore the bath’s structural integrity before resurfacing. - Application of Premium Enamel
Multiple coats of high-quality enamel are applied to achieve a smooth, uniform finish. Advanced techniques, including spray-on coatings and hand polishing, ensure a glossy, durable surface suitable for everyday use. - Polishing and Final Inspection
Once the enamel has dried, the surface is polished to achieve a reflective, pristine finish. A final inspection guarantees that the bath meets both aesthetic and functional standards, ready for immediate use.
