Find a professional bath resurfacing contractor in Melbourne

A bath resurfacing service isn’t just a quick spray-and-go. It’s a detailed process that brings your old tub back to life minus the mess and cost of full renovations. Here’s what you can expect when you book a Tasker to handle the job.

Initial preparation

First up, your Tasker will prep the area. This usually means removing old silicone sealant (if needed), which masks off nearby fixtures like taps and tiles, and giving the bath a proper clean. They’ll scrub away grease, soap scum, limescale, and any residue that might interfere with the new coating.

Surface repair

Next, it’s time to fix any visible damage. Chips, cracks, pits, and worn patches are filled and smoothed out. This step is key to achieving a seamless finish, especially if you’re restoring an older resurfacing enamel bath.

Bonding process

Before any coating goes on, a bonding agent or primer is applied. This step helps the resurfacing material stick properly to the bath, even in porous or previously damaged areas. Taskers use high-grade bonding systems developed for planes and boats, so you’re getting serious durability here.

Resurfacing or re-enamelling

Here’s where the transformation really happens. Your Tasker will apply multiple layers of enamel, polyurethane, or specialised coating. This is what gives your bath that smooth, high-gloss finish and makes it look brand new. It’s essentially a professional-grade bath restoration without replacing the tub.

Finishing touches

Once the coating is set, all masking materials are removed. The surface may be polished using advanced techniques. If sealant was removed earlier, it can be reapplied for a clean, watertight finish.

Curing time

Most resurfaced baths are ready to use after 24 hours. Some fast-curing products are usable in as little as 6 to 8 hours, depending on the material used.

Optional add-ons

You can also request extra features like anti-slip coatings, colour-matching, or even custom shades. Some providers offer over 900 colours. Some Taskers can also resurface basins, sinks, or shower trays.

Post-service support

Trusted professionals won’t leave you guessing. You’ll get clear aftercare instructions and often a written warranty. If chips appear down the line, some providers offer follow-up repairs.
