Do you need bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing? When you notice your bath is looking dull, sticky, or has chips, resurfacing the entire surface is recommended. Here at Surface Doctor Accrington, I can restore your bath for you so it looks brand new again without causing any disruption to your bathroom. Call me today to find out how I can restore your bath.
With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. This is all done in your bathroom so there is no messing with your bath installation or anything like that. I use a special enamel paint which hardens and fully cures within 24 hours so you can use your bath again the next 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. My resurfacing service is suitable for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.
In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. Removing an old bath isn’t as simple as it may seem. Cast-iron baths are so heavy that they have to be smashed to pieces before being carried out, which can lead to damage throughout your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter and easier to move, but removing them can still damage your bathroom. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Metal baths are usually original features of older houses, and they will last for decades! A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. For individual repairs like chips and scratches, I color match the repair to your bath, but with re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a fresh white enamel to respray the entire surface.
I use commercial-grade materials to resurface your bath, which are not available to the general public. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. A successful resurfacing process involves using an adhesive bonder to securely attach the new surface to the bath. The bonder I use is specifically sourced to guarantee the best, long-lasting outcomes. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.
With my in-situ resurfacing service, you don’t need to remove or transport your bath—everything is done in your bathroom. This way there is minimal disruption to you as I will only need to be working in your bathroom for a day before I'm out of your hair again. Vitreous enamel is a unique process where powdered glass is fused to the surface of the bath at extremely high temperatures in a kiln. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.
If your bath is severely chipped or dented, I’ll repair these imperfections first to ensure a flawless surface for resurfacing. You won’t incur extra costs for this step—it’s included in the resurfacing service. 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 Accrington.
1. I’ll carefully mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to protect them during the resurfacing process.
2. Step 2: I will carefully sand off the top layer of the bath, revealing the underlying metal surface. 3. Once the bonder is applied, I’ll proceed to fill any chips, cracks, or holes in the surface. 4. I’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond. 5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto your bath. 6. I will proceed to buff the surface, giving it a glossy, smooth finish. 7. Allow 24 hours for the surface to cure before using your bath, and it will look brand new!
It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. The masking process to protect surrounding areas from overspray is one of the steps that can take a bit of time. 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. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.
Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. Restoring your bath helps minimize environmental impact by preventing additional waste in landfills. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.
I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate with DIY products from a local store. For the last 10 years, I’ve been using the same high-quality materials that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.
