These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. 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. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. After removal, redoing the tiling, reinstalling taps and drains, and potentially replacing the flooring are necessary. 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 their surface becomes dull and tired, chipped, scratched, etc, it is so easy to resurface them so they look brand new again and you'll have a perfect and strong bath in no time. With acrylic baths, their lifespan is not as long as traditional metal baths but they are still able to be resurfaced to a great result. When fixing chips and scratches, I match the color to your bath’s surface, but for re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a new white enamel finish.

The materials I use for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the original bath. I have sourced a very specialised bonder which creates the most lasting results possible. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.

There’s no need to remove your bath or deal with complicated transport, as all of my resurfacing work is done in-situ. I complete all resurfacing in just one day in your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption for you. You may be familiar with Vitreous enamel, a specialized process where powdered glass is fused to the bath’s surface in a high-temperature 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. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Bacup.
